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.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
