I don't know for sure Peppers walks to Free Agency without a fight, seems likely they tag him(they do have that right) and just trade him to highest bidder or force him to play...Everyone always assumes guys will be Free Agents but it wouldn't make much sense from Carolina's standpoint to just let him walk for free, same reason it wouldn't of made sense for the Pats to let Cassell get away for free.

Maybe Oakland would be more likely to do it with the emergence of Chris Johnson. You never know what Oakland though.

They can only franchise tag him for one more year and he hits the market for good, with absolutely nothing in return. What good is having the guy closest to being a shutdown CB in the NFL play for them for this upcoming year? A 1st and 3rd might have a better impact for the Raiders for this upcoming year and in the future. No way he resigns with the Raiders.

Originally posted by njx9we have a huge amount of cap space. if not peppers, who should we spend the money on at NT/ILB this offseason? all of those amazing players who... oh yeah, aren't free agents? when you typed this post, are you sure you didn't mean to say:
"i don't think denver should sign him because i want him to come to my team so i should probably include some specious reasoning"?my scent?...like making love to a lumberjack
<TACKLE> i will ngata give you a bj raji
<+BOE> Scott, with Burfict's character concerns (whether legit or not) you think Pioli would draft him. :D
<+ScottWright> Why not. Baldwin does need a sparring partner...

Yep...
It will be interesting to see what happens with Nnamdi in Oakland. I'd love for us to sign him long term, but I understand why he wants to leave. I don't see us just letting him walk, so we will most likely tag him again.
The real question becomes, how much does a team (maybe New Orleans??) give up for a Pro-Bowl corner like Nnamdi?

Either way, I still think that is the best option for the Raiders.

Peppers is almost certainly going to have a new uniform come the start of the 09 season.
It all hinges on what happens with Jordan Gross. The Panthers almost had Gross signed last year before the start of Free Agency but couldn't hammer out some minor details so they slapped the tag on him.
Lo and behold he has an AP season, so now his price tag significantly increases. With the extension of Gamble, that leaves the team in a bit of a salary cap pickle.
The team can and likely will free up space by cutting lucas, hackett and johnson (landon) and extending delhomme to ease his cap hit freeing up close to 10 mill in addition to what's already free...
When that occurs, Gross is likely to get his mega franchise size deal. Following this we'll see Peppers franchised and then later him traded for some manner of pick and or pick/player/s and the team go into the draft relatively happy.
The worst case scenario is the Panthers can't work something out with Gross and they tag him allowing Pep to walk unabaited and then they go into the next season without any real certainty at tackle or De and only a 2nd round pick...
In short: Watch what happens with Gross if you want to know what's happening with Peppers.
