Which is almost all of you.....

Help me figure out how much cap space is available if we don't resign Peppers and release Lucus. I know that we don't have a clue what Peps proposed contract would look like but I think we can all assume that it would have to be a top 5 at his position kind of deal. I don't think he would stay here for less.

teams that want to stay competitive do not resign guys in their late 20's for record breaking deals....

Not advocating such. I simply want to know..... if we don't have to pay those two guys, how much money will we have to go out and replace them? Lucus will have some sort of cap hit for the remainder of his contract and Pep will free up what we would have paid him. So in eqaution form it would be something like this.

Avail$ = Pep$ + (Luc$ - SalryCap BS)

with the cap going up and what Peppers and Gross were already making this year, if the FO wanted to sign them then they easily could without making drastic changes

If Peppers already turned down Freeny money as rumored, then we should let him walk. He isn't worth 100 million at his age, plus we apparently are going to need to chase a CB in FA. I hear Haynesworth is available as well and I read last week he listed Carolina as one of the places he would like to play, although he might demand the same amount as Peppers, but who knows.

They could also franchise Pep and then trade him to a bad team for a decent first round pick (which we need this year) and use the pick to draft a DE. Cut Lucus and use the cap space (from trading Pep and cutting Lucus) to go sign a free agent DB and a safety. All the while having enough to resign Gross and keep some continuity on the O-line which was the best we've had in years.

Just thinkin' out loud...

I have a question. Does anyone know the rules on swapping franchised players? Just throwing this out there, but let's say NE franchises Cassel and Panthers franchise Peppers. Can you do a straight swap on franchised players or do draft picks still have to change hands? Just thinking out loud as well..

Cassel was franchised because Brady isn't recovering as fast as they had hoped. Cassel is worth more to the Pats then Peppers would be at the moment.

      The Shedur pranker has been identified. Son of Falcons coach copied the number

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I was in my early 20s, this kid wound have been put on a pedestal.  Not only did he get the information from an Atlanta coach, he framed the Saints.  He is on a different level.  Don't get me wrong--it was stupid-- and if I was his dad I would be pissed--but the nerve--the balls---the unbridled disregard for the consequences of the establishment--few people have ever reached this level.  But there are others who were more brilliant, but for these examples, we have to go to the Ivey League and MIT.  Let's start with MIT: During the 1982 season, seven members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) managed to bury a weather balloon under the field in Harvard's stadium over a three-week period. The meticulous planning and technologically advanced prank led to those MIT students (safely) disrupting the Harvard/Yale game during the second quarter. The balloon, with "MIT" written all over it, inflated to eight feet before popping. The student newspaper at MIT covered the event with a simple, fitting headline. "Saturday's score: MIT 1, Harvard/Yale 0." -------------------- Yes, another Harvard/Yale game. This time, though, MIT wasn't involved. No, this clever trick in 2004 was the brainchild of two Yale students with the assistance of about 20 others. Disguised as "Harvard Pep Squad" members, the Yale students distribute red and white placards to the Crimson crowd. They assured the fans that "Go Harvard" would be spelled out on the cards. In reality? "WE SUCK" appeared on the Harvard side. --------------------------

      Also remember that essentially Derrick Brown is an offseason addition to the defense too, that’s not insignificant when we’re talking about improving the defense from last year.
