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.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
