Peppers is THE MOST VALUABLE defender in the league

He was completely underutilized here and I understand why he wants out. Think about what a coordinator like Jim Johnson could do with Pep?? Its unreal to think about the amount of pressure that he would put on a QB with JJs blitz schemes. We spent so much time rushing 4 or dropping him into a zone blitz that he never realized his full potential. I'm pissed that he wants to go but hopefully Hurney doesn't screw the pooch in the trade because after a 15 sack season and his pedigree there is no doubt in my mind that he is the most valuable defender in the league when he gets in a potent system.

On another note...If Pep walks then Fox might as well walk as well because his entire defense is built around this one player. As much as I love playing the 4-3 it doesn't work without pressure. If we trade Peppers, Richardson needs to seriously consider making a STRONG run at a coach that builds 3-4 defenses (not necessarily Cowher but he is the prime target) because this line is ATROCIOUS without that man on the end...

I agree totally.....I do think we could bring the god of D-coordinators here and it would do noting for him. He was beat by a journeyman LT single blocked all game. He will only be rejuvenated with new surroundings. Our scheme is terrible......Passive zones. Peppers dropping back.

      It's the groin injury from the Las Vegas game back in October which continues to get re-aggravated every time he takes an awkward hit. Latest is he will likely miss Thursday, but may start skating in the next day or 2.

      I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.

      I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen.
