What about Peppers to DC for Colt Brennan and a 1st (or more)?


top dawg

What do you guys think about Colt Brennan? Would he and the Skins' first round pick be enough for Pep? I was just playing around with different scenarios. Someone had posted early on in the season that Pep might want to go to Washington.

I know that Brennan broke all kinds of records at Hawaii, but some questiones his effectiveness as an NFL QB. Here are some interesting links regarding Brennan and Pep to DC:

Pep probably won't end up in DC

While we're at it, let's sign Timmy Chang :rolleyes:

Julius Peppers for Colt Brennan? Even with the first thrown in, that's one of the most one-sided trades in history, and we would be on the wrong end. That'd make it twice the Redskins screwed us in a franchise player trade.

(geez, and I thought the "Peppers for Anderson" threads were bad)

Hmm...another possibility. I don't hate the guy but you are reaching here. For Peppers, I think we need to get a player that is already quality.

Brennan would just be a little more sugar to sweeten the deal. According to the football pundits, we may find it difficult to get equal value for Pep.

Come on, Scottie. You're supposed to be the "voice of reason."

Sorry man, but that's an awful trade. You don't trade a franchise level player for a backup QB that "might" be a good pro.

If you want a player, it's got to be one that's at least close to equal value. Brennan is all potential at this point, and he played in a system that made Timmy Chang look like a world beater too.

I understand that people want something in trade, but that's not gonna do it.

See above. I said even with the pick thrown in there's no way I'd take that trade.

Personally, I think Brennan is a bust waiting to happen. Regardless of opinion though, trading a player like Peppers for a guy like Brennan (even with the 1st rounder) is an awful idea.

But Scottie, some say that we'd be lucky to get a first round pick at all, much less one with a player with some potential (however limited).

I don't agree with the notion that we can't get at least a 1st and 3rd for him.

There's just no way I could be convinced that swapping Peppers for a pick and a guy whose only claim to fame is as a "preseason star" and college record setter. You might as well trade for Tim Couch.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
