NFL.com Peppers/Patriots *possible* update

[Mr. Scot]

Borges was fired from the Globe for plagiarism BTW, which I assume you knew.

I said Reiss and Gasper because they aren't homers but they aren't haters either.

I vaguely remember the story but remember thinking based on what I heard it was questionable. Admittedly never went in-depth on it though. I'd have to look it up again.

Micheal Smith said that He thinks it's slim to none the trade will happen. For two reasons, the draft pick is not enough for the Panthers and that the Patriots don't pay the player what he wants, they want players who want championships not money.

Schefter said there is 1% chance it will happen.

Which Peppers doesn't care about money.

:iamwithstupid:

On what grounds?

Mostly because of what I put in bold. Which I translated: his trade value to us is more than a 2nd round pick. It seemed to me that you looked at it from the FO point of view (trade value=franchised high pick DE in his prime, not whatever he wants to play) where most posters to that point had not. They seemed to be thinking of it as a fire sale. :eek:

For those of you on here that wanted the panthers on espn a lot, well you got your wish. It's just peppers on espn every half hour or so.

[JGrundle]

But I say let him go to the Faketriots and then when we meet up to them in the superbowl, we'll run it right down his throat just like they did to him in 03!

Peppers wants to go to the Pats??? So he can freeze his @$$ off in december and not be able to play. Give us two 2nd round and two other picks and say good bye

[SorthNarolina]

How do you go from them or us offering ONE pick to THREE? Keep on dreamin.

i think it's safe to assume that it won't just be one single pick we get out of this, gantt agrees

it could be some later picks than what I drew up but that trade seems the most logical to me

Well up until I read the article from Fox Sports in the other thread by Cyclonus, I didn't realize what a horrible situation Pep is putting us in by not signing the tender. He is being such a dick... By not signing it we're both stuck where we are. We can't do anything without his approval, and he can't go anywhere without ours.

It's his way of trying to force a release. I just didn't understand the magnitude of it until reading that article.

It's his way of keeping us from trading him to the Lions or another crappy team..... Nothing more.

John Clayton said we aren't shopping him. Then again, it's John Clayton...

The Panthers can't shop him until he signs the tender. His agent can do all the shopping he wants though.

Exactly.
