Jason Taylor Targets Pats

Been said before and is pure speculation, but would make the Peppers to NE saga a little more complicated. Also, what the f**K is the deal with everybody thinking they are going to get a ring if they sell their soul and go to fight for Capt. Hoody? When was the last time the Patriots even won a championship?

I can see buying into the Patriot mystique (to a point, anyway).

Saw this item earlier though and thought the same thing. If the Patriots are the object of Peppers desire, he really does need to take Bellichick's advice ("get off your butt and sign your tender, numbskull") or he could see someone like Taylor taking his opportunity while he winds up out in the cold.

You are right. If Taylor becomes a Patriot, all this talk of Pep to NE should die.

According to their message board, they prefer Taylor anyway, probably due to price, but at least he's played the 3-4 before...

Lawdie...I have said on here FOREVER that he would probably be a Pat someday if the $$ is right...since before he got dumped by Miami...

It's far, far smarter use of their dollars if they feel they have some guys they can get in the draft to convert to OLB to get a guy like JT who can help them transition some new OLBs into their system because he can already play that position than to take a $$$ AND draft pick gamble on Pep being able to convert.

I truly believe that Pep can convert, and I think that if I had my choice of JT or Pep, with no $$$ constraints, I would take Pep.....

Peppers can play very productive football for the next 5-7 years, JT cannot.

This wouldn't have been as much an issue if pep had gotten on the ball.

If Pep wants to go to the Pats, he'd better do something quick. Sign the tender...let the Pats/Panthers talk. Time is ticking. I know you hear it (how could you not?).

Peppers is a scare little girl and is afraid to take the big second step out the door.
