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.

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Incorrect, I have watched us consistently over quite a number of years. When I say Cam relied on athleticism, I simply mean his dual threat style and athleticism overshadowed the deficiencies in the passing game (his own or those created by the system).  Now I wouldn’t disagree that our OCs over that time were not amazing and arguably held him back, but correct me if I’m wrong, Cam had a habit of locking onto his receivers and overthrowing them. Gettleman even drafted two big receivers - Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess - to give Cam receivers with a big catch radius.  Again, correct me if I’m wrong, but Cam had some mechanical issues. For example, the reliance on arm strength over touch and his footwork often led to him throwing off the back foot. There were many debates on these boards about his mechanics, with far more knowledgeable posters than I braking down what he needed to improve on. End of the day, I was as big a Cam fan as the next person, but he did have his shortcomings as a passer. Had he played under someone like Sean McVay or a similar offensive guru, with a high quality QB coach, then I’m sure they would have ironed out the kinks and he would have been far more dangerous and successful than he was. And that’s a scary thought of what he could have been under the likes of a McVay!

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      It's true that we are not scoring at a much higher clip than the Saints. They're averaging ~18.4 with Shough and in that same span we're averaging ~19, so pretty close, despite Bryce having better TD numbers over that period. Both our teams are a far, far cry from the NFL average of 23.3...
