It is not Peppers fault that he is making that kind of money per game. The blame lies with Hurney and the organization, the time to extend Peppers was 3 years ago into a long term Dwight Freeney kind of deal, now we get a one year rental and the guy is going to go elsewhere next year and come back to life.

Julius Peppers is the same player he has always been. A good one who has good speed for his position. When we had guys like Jenkins and Rucker (in his prime), Peppers was that much better. But he is not, nor has he ever been a dominant player like Reggie White or Bruce Smith. Many in the fan base thought he was, until he wanted to leave. The contract issues exacerbated the issues.

Now people expect him to be a superstar, winning games singlehandedly. Isn't going to happen. He can't change into something he is not. He may have a great game tomorrow, and I hope he does, but at the end of the season, he will still be just an above average NFL defensive end.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
