Could we be planning to trade Julius Peppers?

Week 6 is the trade dead line, could they trade him by then? We did just add a new DE to the PS. I also saw them put E. Brown a little last week, probably doesn't mean anything but it could happen I guess. Give Brown a little playing time see how it works out, then possibly trade Peppers before the dead line?

No team (including the team that franchised the player) can sign a franchise player to a long-term contract after July 15th of a league year. So this pretty much negates any trade scenarios. The 49ers tried to trade draft picks for Lance Briggs in 2007 (Chicago's franchise player) but the league rejected the trade for the reason stated above.

If you go back and watch Peppers each play the past 2 weeks....there is nothing to bitch about. Same can't be said if you watch other guys on defense each and every snap. He was fantastic week 1 and was taken out of week 2.....which was smart b/c if you can limit Pep no one else outside Beason or Davis is likely to make an impact play.

I don't think it is impossible to trade a franshised player during the season but there are very strick guidelines that have to be followed and they are not very tempting to the new team. The Briggs situation a couple years back wasn't rejected by the NFL, it was rejected by the Bears and the NFL fined the 49er's for entering into contract talks with a player during the season and while he was on another team without permission. So a trade could happen but the new team could have no future contract talks what so ever with the player, not even if they would be willing to sign with them after the season is over. So that would make any trade almost impossible of happening.

Damn, just opened my Mountain Dew and took a drink and I noticed I got diet. That sucks but I looked all the rules up and couldn't find nothing saying you couldn't trade him. If someone had the room and thought they had a good chance to make a run for the playoffs around Week 6, maybe they would take the risk. I don't know though, just a thought.

the team would have to agree to the exact same 1 year contract that the other team is. someone would have to pick him up now and pay him $1mil/game knowing that the contract is completely done after this year. every bonus they are due would still be due them. all this with no hope of an extension until the season is over.

won't happen.

Yeah, there isn't to many teams with the cap space and most that do are 3-4. Your right, it just is highly unlikely anyone would be that stupid.

      If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.

      Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
