Giants may offer Peppers a 100 million dollar contract...

Per Steve Reed:

The New York Giants could reportedly offer DE Julius Peppers a contract that would match the deal Albert Haynesworth got last season — $100 million. The free agency signing period begins in less than 12 hours (Friday at 12:01 a.m.).

Didn't the Giants just have a bad experience going on a DL shopping spree?

Report: New York Giants Could Offer Julius Peppers $100 Million by Colleen Canty on Mar 4, 2010 1:27:04 PM

Julius Peppers may have found a team willing to meet his huge asking price.

According to media reports, the Giants could offer defenseman Julius Peppers a $100 million deal. On WFAN's Boomer and Carton show Wednesday morning, Craig Carton confirmed that he had inside information that the Giants have prepared an offer similar to Albert Haynesworth's seven-year, $100 million agreement with the Washington Redskins.

Peppers will leave the Carolina Panthers as a free agent after declining their offer of about $14 million a year. The 30-year-old has expressed a willingness to play in a 3-4 defense and would be open to moving from defensive end to outside linebacker. If the Giants signed Peppers, they could move to a 3-4 scheme.

Six to eight teams are rumored to have interest in signing the defenseman, including the Redskins, Patriots and Bears.

Peppers has 81 career sacks in eight seasons. With his strong 2009 season, posting 10 1/2 sacks, the five-time Pro Bowler may get the big contract he wants.

The bidding war begins Friday at 12:01 a.m.

Wtf?....

[Murph]

The NY media would tear Julius apart after his first lackluster game.

[rayzor]

lol. that would be more stupid than what the redskins did.

No one person is worth that much money. Especially not Peppers.

I'd imagine Coughlin and Peppers will get along great (sarcasm).

God I hope so. Anyone think we would have a shot at Osi if this happens?

[j2sgam]

Carolina goes to NY this season, dont we? I have been considering goin up to see family depending on when the game is..This would seal the deal, might get to see the look on Pep's face when the Panthers open the new stadium like they closed the old...

[grateflday]

I hate the Giants to begin with..... I grew up in NJ and all they did was shove the Giants down your throat and no matter what they were always going to "great". If Pep went there it would make me want them to suck even more.

Ooooo, let's predict the Post headlines this year:

"Peppers Not Worth His Salt."

"Julius more Brutus than Caesar"

"Peppers' Grin Required By Law To Tell You It's Moving Into Your Neighborhood"

If the Giants are willing to do that then more power to them. I'm just glad it wasn't the Panther making this stupid offer.
