Peppers could be coming back

[OneBadCat]

This would be a great pick up for us. Just hope we wouldn't force him to take most of the snaps and make him ineffective. 

But if we had CJ and Peppers back that could give us some draft options.

[stirs]

Well, we would save on bleach and detergent as he never gets his uniform dirty

Gettleman has shown in the past he does go after the Vets on cheap deals

This is LITERALLY all he's shown in free agency.  So duh.  

[L-TownCat]

I've been perfectly clear on my opinion of this rumor.

For the life of me I can't understand what a 37yo OLB could do for us?

Was he a great DE? Yes, but he's changed positions and hasnt had to carry the bulk of a 4-3 DE in several years.

Can he still play? I'm sure he can, but how motivated is he? Will he mysteriously capture the will and desire to perform every week?

Are you guys willing to trust him again when it counts, or would you just be all, "Fug yeah! Peppers and poo bruh!"

 

 

Anywho, if the FO brings him in, fine, but this doesn't mean I'm breaking out the old #90 jersey from the deep recesses of my heart....uh, I mean closet.

At 37 an upgrade over any DE on the roster. Put him back at 4-3 DE and that 7.5 sacks goes up. Still a physical freak.

He didn't want to spend the next few years with good Jake, bad Jake. I can see what he means being that Cam is an upgrade and gives his team more opportunities to win.

We don't have a star at DE. Nobody is scared of Kony Ealy. Open arms. 

 

[Jangler]

He upgrades the line, allows DG to focus on the offense. 

Yeah, what a stupid idea.

Of course when you got a cap like the Saints you have to work around, you're not getting big name agents.

No one's arguing his free agent acquisitions have not been helpful. 

[Davidson Deac II]

I doubt he would be an every down player, but he would be a solid situational player.

[h0llywood]

Even if he brings 1 sack, i would be ok with it as long as the rest of the D Line meshes and performs better overall as a unit, similar to what Jared Allen did for us.

[motocross_cat]

If it helps the team win.  Then pull the trigger.

[OneBadCat]

Would have been sick to have Peppers in his prime with Cam.

[Ivan The Awesome]

He's done. He doesn't have anything left. 

[countryboi]

Peppers had 7.5 sacks at 36 years old he clearly still has juice. as long as he doesnt mind a team friendly deal and being a pass rush specialist I would be excited about this.

He had 7.5 sacks. That doesn't suggest done with nothing left.

I'm not going to take media speculation for more than what it is though
