With the way the thread title was, I thought it had a chance of happening. Upon further reading, there is no chance in hell.

"The front office has been informed of my desire to explore opportunities with other NFL teams following the expiration of my contract next month," Peppers said in a statement released by his agent Carl Carey. "At this point in my NFL career, I am seeking new challenges that will allow me to grow, develop and reach my personal potential on the football field.
"I strongly feel that making a move at this time is in my best interest. I appreciate the entire Panthers organization and am thankful for the seven seasons I've spent with the team."
The Panthers have the option to franchise Peppers, which would mean paying him nearly $17 million next season.
"Julius is firm in his decision that he needs a change," Carey said. "He feels that he can thrive in another system. While he has been selected to four Pro Bowls and designated as an All-Pro during his career, he feels that he has yet to develop to his full potential. This is the case of a great player who seeks to become an elite one."
Looks like he really wants out of Carolina. The least Smith and McNice should do is take a look at Pep. At least get our hopes up a little. I don't think he's worth the money he's looking for at this stage in his career, but hey, you never know..
We have the space, he'd take our defense to another level...why not? Give him an incentive laden deal that gives him like $3 million per playoff game.Anyway - he's going to turn 29 this Sunday. If he's asking for anything NEAR what Allen wanted, I think you'd have to be off your rocker to give it to him.
