Peppers Contract extention?

dragn0422 · 07-09-2009, 02:36 PM

I heard last night on NFL Network that Peppers was going to get somewhere in the neighborhood of $40mil guaranteed. They said he was trying to work out a deal to get off the Franchise Tag. They talked about him and one other guy, but I cant remember who. Has anyone else heard this or are the NFL Network guys just assuming, to try to generate a story?

Until Mike Florio says it...

peppers' agent said that Julius is open to long term contract discussions just after he signed the tender. 40 mil guaranteed only sounds like a 3 yr deal though since Pep is now worth about 14 mil a year.

I hope this is legit as the deadline to get deals done for franchise players is July 15th (I think) Forty mil guaranteed is ok IMO as that is about what he would make this year and next if we were to franchise him again although there were no specifics on the length of the contract. If we can clear a bit of cap space in the interim to sign some OL depth it would be huge for this team entering training camp.

i've not really considered how much time i'd like to see him stay. you don't think he could last as long as Strahan or dare I even say Bruce Smith?

He doesn't have their desire.

Peppers 29 5 years would be a good contract.
