John Clayton just said on ESPN Radio (Regarding Peppers)

He said right after that Cleveland might want to trade Brady Quinn, I don't know if he was saying to the Panthers (I hope not) or if it was unrelated. I am drugged up on flu meds but my wife was next to me and I asked her if I heard it right (about pep being traded) and she said I did.

Trade deadline for franchised player has already passed.

I mean this is John Clayton...I feel like he knows his stuff regarding the rules. But like someone else said, we would have to be 0-5 for this to happen. I'm not worried about his trade value. Everyone in the league knows he is loafing because he doesn't want to play for us. My guess would be to the Patriots for one of their first rounders. They know that they need some serious help with the pass-rush in order to win the super bowl. I would actually welcome this scenario considering we would probably ask for their Raiders pick or their later 1st rounder with some extra compensation...

Yea I think I could only settle for a 1st round pick. We will need one next year.

Dont quote me on this but I think the Raiders' pick was in 2011. If Fox did this it would mean two things, 1) he has lost Peppers and probably other players 2) he is already gearing up for next season. I wouldn't mind them doing this as I think we have some DE's that can play and right now they are no better or worse than Peppers.

I don't think at this point he could contribute much to NE since he would be starting at square 1 even if they would want him solely as a pass rusher. Plus I don't think they have the cap room to take on 17 large nor do I see where that would come from. Yes the Seymour 1st round pick is 2011.

I doubt Pep gets traded this year, it just doesn't seem practical for any other team to do it.

    • I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
    • I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--
    • After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
