Carolina and Peppers fail to reach long-term deal

Football Betting Lines

07/15/2009 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Carolina Panthers and defensive end Julius Peppers failed to reach a contract agreement before the NFL's 4 p.m. deadline for negotiating long-term deals with franchise players.

Peppers, who signed his franchise tender on June 24, will now play the 2009 season under a one-year deal worth close to $16.7 million. His agent, Carl Carey, was quoted by the Charlotte Observer as saying the two sides attempted to reach an agreement but ultimately could not. The two sides won't be able to discuss a new contract until the end of the season.

The second overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft has made four Pro Bowl appearances over his seven-year career with Carolina, but in the offseason had expressed a desire to play elsewhere.

In 2008, the 29-year-old, who switched from left to right defensive end, recorded a career-high 14 1/2 sacks and 51 tackles. In 106 career games with the Panthers, the North Carolina product has compiled 70 1/2 sacks and 344 tackles.

The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
