What is the minimum you would accept in a peppers trade?

[SorthNarolina]

NOTE: I don't at all think JR's decision to hold firm and let him walk is a bad idea, it's just painful seeing him go for nothing.

The FO hasn't exactly been very good at filling in holes left by elite players, so I'm worried we're screwed without at least getting something for him. We've done well with LB's but i can't think of anything else unless I'm missing something obvious.

With Kris Jenkins the panthers initially held firm at a 1st rounder when he wanted to be traded. Eventually they went down to a 3rd and 5th.

IF peppers is franchised do you think they will accept less compensation than what he's worth? I know the threatening lockout has created a far different situation than my previous example

There is peppers REAL value, that won't ever be reached. High profile players or multiple picks seems unlikely.

I imagine we would get hustled by a franchise with cash to spend for a 2nd rounder, if multiple picks only 3rd and below.

As for players, I don't see any starters, mainly specialists and talented 2nd stringers. I think a few failed 1st rounders might work as the FO seems to like taking high picks and reviving their careers.

To find your minimum, think of at what point you would rather pay 20 million to peppers instead of getting poor compensation(i.e. a 7th rounder and a Snickers).

For me I don't care what we get in return, he's not worth 20 million. Send him to a team who is willing to give him a contract, lower his trade value enough and hopefully somebody will bite.

To add to Fiz's comment: I'd accept a top-15 pick.

None of them from 2009, but maybe one of them in 2010.

I was actually going to say top-20, but I liked the sound of 15 better. I would actually go for any 2nd round pick probably.

you're not going to get a first round pick for a 30 year old defensive end with a possible lockout occurring in what would be year two of his contract

We're pretty much guaranteed a 3rd next year if he walks, so anything less than a second this year or a first next year smacks of lunacy or tampering considering the $20 million+ risk Jerry and the FO takes on.

High 2nd would be good. I'd prefer multiple picks of any rounds equating to a late 1st/early 2nd.

Hey, the thread is about what I would accept, not what would be realistic. My realistic answer was any 2nd rounder. My unrealistic answer is a top-15 pick, $16 million in gold bullion, an apology from Peppers, and an autograph (from Steve Smith).

ur gay ifyou want autographs from adults

I thought that was only if I pushed little kids out of the way or something of that nature?

Can I have your autograph? Or $16 million in gold bullion? I think I'd like the $16 million; then I could just buy your autograph anyone elses I wanted!

[Fiz]

20 bucks

20 bucks

I'll give you Pepper(s) for it.
