Wilfork for Pepper's

Everyone knows Peppers wants to play for New England and NE wants Peppers. Wilfork wants to be paid. NE also drafted Ron Brace in case Wilfork hits the Free Agent Market after next season.

I am normally an opponent of making Fantasy Football trades but this one seems to be good for both squads. Though a nose tackle I am quite sure he would tranistion to a nice DT.

Let's trade Peppers for Wilfork and maybe a 4th or 5th rounder. This would solidify our D-Line and let Peppers go where he wants to go and let our current stable of DE fight it out. I think in the long run everyone will be happier.

We can sign him for much less the 17 mil a season and open up some cap space either for next season or someone of value that might get dropped after TC.

Just a thought, your opinion?

I think this is assuming a bit much. As stated before. The one way you can be sure you got a raw deal is to make one with Belicheat. They do not pay for players they steal them.

sorry...this subject (peppers getting traded or whatever) has been beat into the ground pretty bad and the wilfork thing has been talked about quite a bit even going back to when the possibility of peppers wanting to go to the pats was first known.

peppers isn't going anywhere. he is going to be here next year and it is pretty much just understood that he will. the coaches and players are all talking like he will be and most of the rumors have died down completely.

that said....

      Interesting that people are calling for our DC'S head, when we never would have been in the game if it wasn't for the defense.  Never should have gotten to OT.

      Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.

      Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries.
