You people realize that Julius Peppers is NO LONGER UNDER CONTRACT after this season. He is a free agent and unless someone is willing to pay him his contract tender (20 million bucks) then he isn't getting traded.

Teams wouldn't trade for him last year when he was coming off one of his best seasons and had a lower price tag by about 4 million dollars. Do you really think they are going to jump at the chance to pay him 20 million bucks this year when he is a year older??

The only shot in hell we have at a sign/trade with Pep is if some team really wants him badly (not likely) and he agrees to re-negotiate his contract so he doesn't make 20 million dollars in 2010 (even less likely).

Actually unicar, part of what you said in incorrect. If we tag Peppers at $20 million, and another team offers him a contract.. they would only have to pay him whatever the new contract states.. they would not owe him that $20million franchise tag. However, they would owe us compensation in the form of draft picks (2 1st rounders, unless negotiated otherwise).

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
