The Carolina Panthers have placed the franchise tag on defensive end Julius Peppers... so get ready for some fireworks y'all!
Pep has made it painfully clear that he doesn't want to play with the Panthers anymore and today was the last day for franchise tagging.
Right before the tag, the Cats signed tackle Jordan Gross on a six-year deal. That freed by the restrictive tag for Pep. We all know what this means -- he's going to request a trade.
If he stays -- the Panthers will have to pay him nearly $17 million. If he goes, the Cats get at least two first-round picks. Unfortunately for the big wigs, Pep still has the power because no team would likely trade for him without a long-term contract agreement first.
Gross will get $30.5 million over the first three years of the contract. That's the biggest first three-year payout to an offensive lineman in NFL history. Go Gross!
Speaking of go... peace out Pep! Lets hope something grateful will blow our way.
