Suprise, suprise, the Patriots breaking rules again.

You really need a new gimmick, or at least you need to know WTF you're talking about.

• If the player is offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries of last season at his position, or 120 percent of the player’s previous year’s salary, he becomes a “non-exclusive” franchise player and can negotiate with other clubs. His old club can match a new club's offer, or receive two first-round draft choices if it decides not to match. The signing period for non-exclusive franchise players to sign with new clubs is March 3 through November 9 (10th week of the season).

Peppers can work out a contract w/ any team he wants, The Panthers can then match, if they don't match the team normally gets two 1st round picks.
However, what normally happens is the team who originally franchised the player doesn't want or can't afford to pay the player what their new offer is and the team who wants to sign him wont give up 2 first round picks.
So, they lift the franchise tag and then trade the player.
You act like this is the first time a franchise player might change teams...
Really, find a new gimmick or at least know what you're talking about.
