Patriots appear primed to make a deal with Panthers for Peppers

The trade that sent Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel to the Kansas City Chiefs appears to be only the first phase of some major wheeling and dealing by the New England Patriots this offseason.
The second phase, NFL sources say, is likely to involve a trade that would send Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers to the Patriots in exchange for the second-round pick (34th overall) they received from the Chiefs on Feb. 28.
According to league sources, the Patriots and Panthers are hoping to complete the deal at some point between the March 22-25 NFL owners meetings and the start of the draft on April 25.
Peppers, on whom the Panthers have placed a franchise tag that assures him of a one-year contract worth $16.68 million, would be converted to outside linebacker in New England's 3-4 defense.

Apparently, this writer is one of the more trustworthy/respected writers in the sport.
Fuck all the idiots who attacked Belichick (I'm talking to you, Jay Marrioti) for the Cassell trade.

Carolina Panthers deny having Julius Peppers talks with New England Patriots - ESPN

You and your ESPN homerism 
The rules of the CBA state that the Panthers can't talk to other teams about Peppers until a contract is reached.
Thus, the owner of the Panthers is simply saving his ass so that penalties aren't handed out when a deal is finally reached.
Where theres smoke, theres fire.
He'll either be a Patriot or a Yankee by the end of the week.
