Peppers Deal Could Come Soon Thanks to JP Losman
April 23rd, 2009 | by PatsChowder |
Today on “As the Free Agency Wheel Turns”, a quarterback is torn between two teams but one of them is stuck in a franchise battle with their own star. Meanwhile, the star has their eyes on another suitor of their own, but will he be able to break free of their contractual grasp? Stay tuned…
My wife watches too many soap operas. Seriously. My wife.
Here’s the deal. The Carolina Panthers are one of two teams reportedly interested in Buffalo quarterback J.P. Losman (the other being the Denver Broncos), but Carolina is having problems pulling the trigger on any such signing until they know if they are committing any franchise money to Julius Peppers. The Patriots, as we all know, would be more than willing to make a deal for Peppers if they can get the contract worked out in Carolina first.
If Carolina is able to move Peppers by this weekend, they would most certainly be making a flurry of free agent signings with the newly free cap space and Losman could easily be one of them. It all points to a deal getting done soon if Carolina wants to be able to move freely on draft day with pieces they can guarantee they have in place.
