CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Julius Peppers still wants out of Carolina, but he'll only agree to be traded to four teams, further complicating the Panthers' efforts to get compensation for the four-time Pro Bowl defensive end.

On the eve of the deadline to place the franchise tag on Peppers, a person close to the player said Wednesday that the impending free agent wants to play for Dallas or three other unnamed teams, two of them in the NFC.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the list wasn't supposed to be made public, said Peppers wouldn't agree on a trade to any other team, which would limit the Panthers since Peppers would likely have to sign a new contract with that new team before a trade could be executed.

Carolina would likely seek a first-round draft pick and other compensation for their all-time sacks leader, who announced last month that he wanted to leave after seven seasons. The Cowboys don't have a first-round pick this year. The Panthers would also likely prefer Peppers not play for a fellow NFC team.

Hmmm. Now there's an interesting twist.

1. He sounds like a headache.

Dallas would suit him perfectly.

2. Crossing my fingers he doesn't end up in New England.

We don't need another aging linebacker (that's where he'd play in our 3-4).

3. I'd love Peppers in Dallas, but we'd need to get rid of someone's salary then

and that would be TO, who I like, but his salary would be better suited bettering our pass rush. God Peppers and Ware would be quite the tandem.

I'd like to see Dallas get Peppers rather than Ray Ray, and then load up on receivers and OLmen in the draft.

Oh and Wade needs to go.
