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.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
