Satisfying Peppers Isn’t Easy

Make no mistake - Julius Peppers still wants out of Carolina. He’s made it clear, however, that he’s only doing it under his own terms. Peppers has spent the last few weeks strategizing his exit from Charlotte, and now the four-time Pro Bowl defensive end has complicated his situation further, naming just four NFL teams he would be willing to play for should he be traded by the Panthers. Peppers allegedly has agreed to play for either the Dallas Cowboys or three other unnamed teams, two of which are in the NFC. This cramps the Panthers’ developing plan for Peppers even more, as the DE wouldn’t likely agree on a trade to any other team but these unnamed four.

Realistically, it will be hard to determine whether or not Peppers could become a Dallas Cowboy next season, as the Panthers would likely want to trade Peppers to an AFC team rather than a fellow NFC team. Also, the Panthers will seek a first-round draft pick in return for his trade, and the Cowboys do not have a first-round pick this year. This narrows down the field even more for where Julius Peppers will end up once it’s all said and done, so stay tuned for the next chapter in the Peppers saga.
