Some Cheese Head wrote "An Open Letter To Julius Peppers"

Just a somewhat interesting read from another perspective. Perhaps, wishful thinking, but still interesting.

From the Sporting News:

Dear Mr. Peppers:

16 years ago, Reggie White signed a deal with the Green Bay Packers that changed the face of the league for the next several years. While the Packers had a new, young starter at quarterback and many talented players around him, it was Reggie White that changed the culture in Green Bay. It was Reggie White who made it clear that Green Bay could produce a winning team, could be a destination for elite players, and who transformed a hopeful team into one of the best teams of the nineties, including a Super Bowl...

I have to note though that every single player he mentions @ OLB had already proven they could play it when they signed those deals. Pep hasn't. It's pretty unusual for a guy 7 years into his career and considered a premier talent at the original position change positions that drastically. That's why I am curious to see what type of deal he signs on another team.

    • I don’t think we would spend that kind of money on a LB that can’t play all 3 downs. It said he played 331 coverage snaps last year and only gave up one TD so him not being a coverage LB seems kinda like BS?
    • Moton should be back in 27 just due to the guarantees. I can't see us cutting him and eating that cap hit. Trade might be a bit different, but how many teams trade for 20m tackles?  I wouldn't be surprised to see us take 2 this year, 1 in the first and one in the 4th that has potential to play inside if they don't develop as quickly. Our line is awfully thin atm with the unknown injury Hunt got during the postseason. Even if Hunt's ok, we still lack depth. I could see is walking away from this draft with 2 tackles and a center, especially if we move down to pick up an extra 3rd or 4th. 
    • He was so up and down for 4 seasons. They declined his 5 year option for a reason  Oloukon has been their LB1.  Evero loves to send pressure so my guess is if Lloyd is going to be used a 3 down back here he’ll be blitzing on 3rd down a lot. Would’ve liked to have signed someone a lot quicker if that’s the case. Lloyd isn’t very explosive. Used to be
