Could we be planning to trade Julius Peppers?

Week 6 is the trade dead line, could they trade him by then? We did just add a new DE to the PS. I also saw them put E. Brown a little last week, probably doesn't mean anything but it could happen I guess. Give Brown a little playing time see how it works out, then possibly trade Peppers before the dead line?

No team (including the team that franchised the player) can sign a franchise player to a long-term contract after July 15th of a league year. So this pretty much negates any trade scenarios. The 49ers tried to trade draft picks for Lance Briggs in 2007 (Chicago's franchise player) but the league rejected the trade for the reason stated above.

If you go back and watch Peppers each play the past 2 weeks....there is nothing to bitch about. Same can't be said if you watch other guys on defense each and every snap. He was fantastic week 1 and was taken out of week 2.....which was smart b/c if you can limit Pep no one else outside Beason or Davis is likely to make an impact play.

I don't think it is impossible to trade a franshised player during the season but there are very strick guidelines that have to be followed and they are not very tempting to the new team. The Briggs situation a couple years back wasn't rejected by the NFL, it was rejected by the Bears and the NFL fined the 49er's for entering into contract talks with a player during the season and while he was on another team without permission. So a trade could happen but the new team could have no future contract talks what so ever with the player, not even if they would be willing to sign with them after the season is over. So that would make any trade almost impossible of happening.

Damn, just opened my Mountain Dew and took a drink and I noticed I got diet. That sucks but I looked all the rules up and couldn't find nothing saying you couldn't trade him. If someone had the room and thought they had a good chance to make a run for the playoffs around Week 6, maybe they would take the risk. I don't know though, just a thought.

the team would have to agree to the exact same 1 year contract that the other team is. someone would have to pick him up now and pay him $1mil/game knowing that the contract is completely done after this year. every bonus they are due would still be due them. all this with no hope of an extension until the season is over.

won't happen.

Yeah, there isn't to many teams with the cap space and most that do are 3-4. Your right, it just is highly unlikely anyone would be that stupid.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.

      Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
