Draft Possibilities and Dewayne Robertson

Peppers going to any of those teams is pretty slim. He'd need some serious persuading that they will be contenders this year and not a work in progress.

houston an green bay arent that far away from being in the thick of the playoff hunt next year, especially if they get a talent like peppers...now oakland is a different story

If Peppers ultimate goal is to play for a Super Bowl team, why wouldn't he just stay here? We have as a good shot coming off a 12-4 regular season and he would have no guarantees going anywhere else. I think Peppers is being much more selfish than wanting to meet team goals, I think it's personal goals he's looking for. JMO...

If he were to wind up pulling a "Tiki Barber" (i.e. leaving the year before the team wins the big one) the laughter coming from Charlotte, and this board in particular, would be deafening.

Of course, if he goes somewhere and wins a ring, the wailing will be just as loud :(

Absolutely on the mark!

I'm just not convinced that Peppers cares about that and I've been an adamant Peppers supporter over the years. I still don't think that we should crucify him for wanting to move, just questioning his motivation...

So what that just means we get a solid backup for cheap. He can take 25-30% of the snaps when Kemo needs a break. I like the idea personally if we can get him at a good price. I don't want to have to bring in a rook, groom him for 3-4 years, and wait on production. We need someone who can come in and take some pressure off of our two starters and Robertson could be the best option in FA. Either Robertson, Rocky Bernard, Jovan Haye (ironic right?), or another seasoned vet should come in. Using another draft pick on a DT is not what I want would advise...

If his knees give out completely the season we acquire him, it would be a big waste. We would end up wasting money on him when we could get someone else who is less of a risk.

We have a need at DT. We have seasoned vets. We don't have effective ones. And with Lewis coming back from surgery, and Kemo being nearly a nonfactor in the pass rush, we need an effective DT that is capable of STARTING, not backing up and coming in for 25% of the snaps.

Honestly, I think we have to get DT from the draft. Although there aren't as many big names out there, I would have to remind you that not many knew about Godfrey last year, and he ended up starting for us all season.
