Same source that told me that Peppers would be coming home is telling me that he is very thankful that he is being preserved.  Source says he was promised what he is getting and word is his knees and lower back feel like they did in 2012...whatever that means.  Never knew he had knee or lower back problems.

Also said that he has never seen a locker room in his entire career like we have at this time.  Sergeant Barrett said that the intense love/hate never stops in our locker room and that it is like high school players picking on each other.  

TBH, this was really hard to translate as my old friend is at the end of his time here but I had to share in case I don't hear from him again.  I thought he was in his early 70's but his grandson told me tonight he is 86.  I would have lost a month's worth of paychecks on that.

Either way....if Julius is happy, I'm happy.

Its fair to assume that everyone that has ever played 15+ years in the NFL has knee and back problems

The pieces are all aligning perfectly for us to make a serious Superbowl run. 

We've upgraded every position that needed to be in the offseason. We've add great veteran talent to help our young guys and build a strong locker room. The target will be off our backs from last year. We have an easier schedule this year. 

The Falcons are going to be alright but that Superbowl hangover could be disastrous. The Seahawks might implode after any loss. The Giants still have Eli manning the helm. The Packers will be good as well but they proved they are definitely beatable and their defense is still awful. The Cowboys will be back but how far can Dak take them? I'm not even going to bother with the Bucs.

The Patriots will be extremely formidable but anything can happen. 

This is our season.

I wouldn't be mad if we severely limited the followings snap counts in TC and Pre Season

Stew

Pep

Kalil 1

Olsen

TD

Luke

CJ

Adams

 

And possibly:

Capt.

KK

Star

 

These guys are all professionals, and I really want to be healthy this season.  Cam would be on the list, but he is getting little to no work this offseason, and with two shiny new pieces on offense, he needs all the time he can get out there to get accustomed to the speed, quickness, and timing.

Agreed. In addition to this, I hope if Oher is cleared and good to go, they just use him as a back up LT instead of starting RT.

Every year since 2012, I've always felt we were one off-season away from having a SB caliber roster. I don't feel that way this year. I know it's not perfect, but no roster is.

Love/hate though? I'm not sure what to make of that.

I believe he means in the sense of picking on one another like close friends typically do.  Example: Kalil's video. 

Also, trash talking on the field.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
