John Clayton just said on ESPN Radio (Regarding Peppers)

[OneBadassCat]

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.

NE uses alot of 4-3 formations too though. I'm sure they could find a way to use him.

DE is not like playing QB all the Pats need to tell Pep go sack the QB and anybody with the ball when they hike it.

NE is #1 or #2 best run NFL organization not #31 or #32 therefor 0% chance of them taking Pep.

Yes you are right. I am speaking of learning the terms and defense rather than 3-4 vs 4-3. IMO taking on close to 17 mill of salary for a guy who would be situational at best isn't their MO.

I didnt think you could trade a Fran player now. I do know Clayton knows the NFL though so I guess its possible. Not likely anyone would trade for him though.

they went after Randy Moss who was half assing it in Oakland and most thought was finished as legit #1 WR.

We'll probably end up getting some shitty deal, like a 3rd and 5th rounder for him. Oh well, at least we won't go through the infuriating ordeal of watching him get dominated each week anymore.

They did not get Moss at $1 mill per game.

Yea and who dose not half ass it in Oak. If you want to leave you better. There is no reason Peppers cant be good. We have seen him play half ass for 3 seasons now. The real question is will other teams baby him like we have.

[davos]

At this point, I'm fine if we get a 6th rounder for Pep

[Sam Mills Fan]

Think Cincy would give us Carson Palmer for Peppers?
