RB, I can't speak for X-Clown but the fact that they would likely want a pretty high pick or picks for him in a trade if he is franchised (as I think he will be) and he likely would command a pretty good amount of money in a contract isn't really a risk that a lot of teams are in a position to take. Were he simply to become a FA, that might be a different story because then a team would be dealing simply with the dollars.

Bingo. It's not as if we are the Lions and need to start all over.

RB, to respond to your post...just because I'm against the Panthers going after the biggest "name" out there doesn't mean I'm saying there's no need to improve the quarterback position. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive. I'll say it again...the biggest "name" from last year was Derek Anderson. Would it have been a good move for the Panthers or any other team to throw a high pick or picks and a ton of money at him last year for his one good season? I'm pretty sure the Browns would like the option to travel back in time and have dealt him to the highest bidder.

I hope that we sign Gross to a long term contract and franchise Peppers. Peppers has more value on the Free agent market and will get us more draft picks. If we don't sign Gross long term I doubt we franchise him again. He had a good year but honestly I think we can replace him easier and actualy have 1 or 2 guys who could fill in for him. I can't figure out what more he wants. We have an offense which he flourishes in and he is already one of the top 5 compensated players at his position. I understand it is structure of the contract and language. Hopefully we can work it out which then leaves us with Peppers.

As for Philly, if Peppers really wants to go to a 3-4 that rules out Philly. Plus if Johnson doesn't recover it is hard to say what their defense will look like.

Housh is interested in Philly next year and they have TONS of cap space. they are going to be a beast next year anyway.

you put either pep or gross there and you have a return trip to the NFCCG.

not to mention that we play them next year.

i'm not crazy about their potential.

If your a team like the Eagles who have been dying to get a "freak" D-End for years, and havent been able too, also they have plenty of cap room, and a great pass rusher would make their defense top 5 easy, especially with that secondary and their blitz happy scheme...You wouldnt know who to stop..

Its like my Dad always says "How much something (or in this case someone) is worth is how much someone is willing to give for it." Or what I like to say "There's an A** for every seat"
