Would you consider this trade?...

[tarheelpride]

Oakland offers us Ashomagi and a pick for Julius Peppers (who we franchise), would you bite?

Case for trade: shores up bad secondary and gives us flexibility to release Lucas. frees up cap room for Ashomagi to get extension, as well as sign Gross to deal. Extra pick for a possible trade up (provided it's high enough). Teams won't throw easily on us.

Case Against trade: what will happen to the pass rush? who will take over for Pep? impossible nearly to compensate for his skills. great secondary + no pass rush = all day to throw. Who said Ashomagi can fit in the system? and will the system change?

If Pep wants to leave, I absolutely take that. I'd be fuging ecstatic about that.

If Pep wants to work with us, no.

[Panthro]

Doesnt matter who our CB's when they give a 10 yard cushion

[frash.exe]

The only trade I would accept for Pep is a Herschel Walker-type deal and that'll never happen anymore.

[Cold Cat]

Trading peppers is like...

Baltimore trading Ray Lewis

Indy trading Peyton

or any other team trading one of their if not the most talented player(s) on their team.

I feel hesitant to suggest any defensive personnel changes until we change our defensive coordinator and his philosophy. Only then, I think, will we fully witness what these players are actually capable of.

Yes, that even goes for Lucas.

[tarheelpride]

i think it'll take a trade like that for us to part. reality is pep will probably stay and we will break the bank for him. i agree that whoever is playing CB might not do well in our system, but i have no doubt something will change in the offseason. fox won't go for the same stuff over multiple years that keeps getting us killed coaching wise.

why would any team trade when he becomes a FA this offseason? How were you thinking that would work? Annnnd where's the source comming from, madden?

Going along with the thread though...

-Keep Peepers if he wants to play for us

-Trade Peppers if he would like to venture elsewhere. Who the hell whats to be an Oakland Raider though. Hearing all the crap that goes on around there plus the detailed gameday experience posted by our own Huddle members, place is a dump.

Asomugha is the most dominant CB in the league.

Peppers is an above average DE.

Both would cost a ton of money (Peppers maybe a little more I'm not sure of CB vs DE in terms of monetary value in the NFL). I feel like we already have enough money locked up in Chris Gamble and dumping more money in another CB wouldn't be plausible considering our weakest point is D-Line. Fox's defense needs pressure from the front four and unless we see a coaching change, we need help on the D-Line.

As he said... Franchise and then trade (probably contingent in a long term deal being worked out with the trade partner).

[AppStatePanther]

i dont know i still think we should get us a decent pass rushing DT to throw in beside him so he can get rid of some of the dbl teams. If he doesnt want to stay then i say franchise and trade, however i highly doubt he wouldnt want to stay after what we did this year. remember guys 12-4 and division title. this is just the start

oh yeah and traheel pride i love your sig haha, UNC starting 0-2 in ACC play took my mind of this loss. so yes atleast there is tyler hansbrough to laugh at.:patriot:

[joemac]

Trade maybe the best DE in the league for maybe the best CB in the league, plus a first round pick, which would be Oaklands. Hell yes I would take it.

[omgwtf]

Can we give them Turgo too?

[c0r]

i have no idea why oakland would do that. lol
