  1. 1. Peppers for a pick and Ashomagi - would you do it?



Recommended Posts

Oakland offers us Ashomagi and a pick for Julius Peppers (who we franchise), would you bite?

Case for trade: shores up bad secondary and gives us flexibility to release Lucas. frees up cap room for Ashomagi to get extension, as well as sign Gross to deal. Extra pick for a possible trade up (provided it's high enough). Teams won't throw easily on us.

Case Against trade: what will happen to the pass rush? who will take over for Pep? impossible nearly to compensate for his skills. great secondary + no pass rush = all day to throw. Who said Ashomagi can fit in the system? and will the system change?

i think it'll take a trade like that for us to part. reality is pep will probably stay and we will break the bank for him. i agree that whoever is playing CB might not do well in our system, but i have no doubt something will change in the offseason. fox won't go for the same stuff over multiple years that keeps getting us killed coaching wise.

why would any team trade when he becomes a FA this offseason? How were you thinking that would work? Annnnd where's the source comming from, madden? ;)

Going along with the thread though...

-Keep Peepers if he wants to play for us

-Trade Peppers if he would like to venture elsewhere. Who the hell whats to be an Oakland Raider though. Hearing all the crap that goes on around there plus the detailed gameday experience posted by our own Huddle members, place is a dump.

Asomugha is the most dominant CB in the league.

Peppers is an above average DE.

Both would cost a ton of money (Peppers maybe a little more I'm not sure of CB vs DE in terms of monetary value in the NFL). I feel like we already have enough money locked up in Chris Gamble and dumping more money in another CB wouldn't be plausible considering our weakest point is D-Line. Fox's defense needs pressure from the front four and unless we see a coaching change, we need help on the D-Line.

As he said... Franchise and then trade (probably contingent in a long term deal being worked out with the trade partner).

i dont know i still think we should get us a decent pass rushing DT to throw in beside him so he can get rid of some of the dbl teams. If he doesnt want to stay then i say franchise and trade, however i highly doubt he wouldnt want to stay after what we did this year. remember guys 12-4 and division title. this is just the start

oh yeah and traheel pride i love your sig haha, UNC starting 0-2 in ACC play took my mind of this loss. so yes atleast there is tyler hansbrough to laugh at.:patriot:

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
