Found June 26, 2009 on Pro Football Talk:
PLAYERS: Julius Peppers
TEAMS: Carolina Panthers

Carolina_panthers_v_7415
Months after trying to talk his way out of Carolina, Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers reportedly is open to the possibility of signing a long-term deal with the only NFL team for which he has played. In other words, not having any of the other 31 teams display serious interest tends to make a guy willing [...]

  • I hope he stays. He's a Carolina boy who went to UNC and plays for the Panthers. He is beloved by everyone there. That's his home.

  • I agree. I was living in Charlotte when they drafted him and he came in almost immediately and started beasting. Yeah, Carolina is his home and he is loved there. IDK why he would want to leave.

  • No, it's just a joke because several Eagles fans post tons of articles like they are going to sign every free agent that becomes available. I haven't seen any of that from us. We know better. And, I wouldn't be a f*cking Eagles fan for sh*t, bandwagon or not. Sorry to disappoint ya.

  • yeah i know what you mean. There are people who just post articles without having a source, that gets annoying. If your going to start somethin then atleast have a source. A link to a website or some legit reason. The ones with boldin were credible b/c the eagles themselves said they were goin after him. We didnt just make that up.

  • Oh, I know. But, there were 50 articles from Eagles fans saying the same damn thing. That gets kind of annoying.
