John Clayton just said on ESPN Radio (Regarding Peppers)

He said right after that Cleveland might want to trade Brady Quinn, I don't know if he was saying to the Panthers (I hope not) or if it was unrelated. I am drugged up on flu meds but my wife was next to me and I asked her if I heard it right (about pep being traded) and she said I did.

Trade deadline for franchised player has already passed.

I mean this is John Clayton...I feel like he knows his stuff regarding the rules. But like someone else said, we would have to be 0-5 for this to happen. I'm not worried about his trade value. Everyone in the league knows he is loafing because he doesn't want to play for us. My guess would be to the Patriots for one of their first rounders. They know that they need some serious help with the pass-rush in order to win the super bowl. I would actually welcome this scenario considering we would probably ask for their Raiders pick or their later 1st rounder with some extra compensation...

Yea I think I could only settle for a 1st round pick. We will need one next year.

Dont quote me on this but I think the Raiders' pick was in 2011. If Fox did this it would mean two things, 1) he has lost Peppers and probably other players 2) he is already gearing up for next season. I wouldn't mind them doing this as I think we have some DE's that can play and right now they are no better or worse than Peppers.

I don't think at this point he could contribute much to NE since he would be starting at square 1 even if they would want him solely as a pass rusher. Plus I don't think they have the cap room to take on 17 large nor do I see where that would come from. Yes the Seymour 1st round pick is 2011.

I doubt Pep gets traded this year, it just doesn't seem practical for any other team to do it.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
