Peppers A No Show At Camp

"Disgruntled defensive end Julius Peppers was a no-show at the start of the Carolina Panthers' three-day minicamp (Sportsline)."

Peppers wants to be traded. He was pissed when they franchised him, and refuses to sign the contract, which is actually kind of stupid. If he signed the contract the Panthers might actually be able to trade him, but for right now any trade that comes through actually has to go through Pepper's agent instead. I hoped earlier that the patriots could find a way to get their hands on him, but they have come out and stated that they do not negotiate trades with agents, so until he backs down and signs the contract he is not coming here. Some how they will get fixed by the time the season starts. Peppers said he wants to go to a 3-4 defense, so don't rule out a team like the 49ers figuring out a way to get him.
