after watching the mnf game, i realized (actually a few weeks ago) we desperately need some speed from our DEs, and really need some DT help. we are never gonna be able to stop mobile QBs w/o another pass rusher to compliment pep. and if we don't get some good dt help, you can get use to watching opposing teams carve us up for 200 rushing yards a game. we have such a great LB core, but no d-line help! so my question is who can we trade before week 6 to salvage the season?

I would love it, but I know it isnt gonna happen, if they shipped Peppers out of here. Like I said this wont happen cause nobody is going to trade for him with out a deal prearranged in place, Pep wont sign on I am sure unless its to one of his "favorite four", and Fox/Hurney wont admit their mistake.

With how the Boys played last night on D they might be willing to part with a 1st for Pep. Please I want him gone. This season is gone let Brown start the rest of the year and get some reps.

Been said many times that Peppers cannot be traded as the franchise player.

On topic, I doubt we make any move. So help me God if Hurney starts trading away more draft picks for some mediocre DT I will be effing pissed. Unless he plans on wasting said pick on a player like Martin, then I don't give a poo.

Funny I thought a certain Matt Cassell was franchised then traded, last year so was Correy Williams of the packers.

From what I understand is a team CAN trade a franchise player. The issue is no team can work out a long term deal. Here is a link from an article when the Bears were trying to trade a franchises Briggs to San Fran. The deal never happened cause San Fran wanted to be allowed to negotiate a long term deal first and the league said no - so San Fran pulled out on the deal.

So you can trade for a franchise player you are just taking on the risk of having to sign that player in the offseason, hence why its not done and why nobody will take Peppers.

Correct. He can be traded, but only with his current deal in place.

Now, the trick is to find a team that's willing to give up something significant for a 29 year old DE on a one-year budget busting contract whose play has been considered by some to be less than stellar.

Make that trade work, and you are a virtual king of all you survey.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
