Money should be the issue

Whether or not it matters to him is his choice but it has to matter for BigCat and the organization. If Pep stays, his cap hit is 16.683 million. His monetary hit over the past three years combined has been 39.492 million.

That would pay him $56,175,500 over a four year stretch. Owners and GM’s throughout the league are blasting the Raiders for signing Asomugha for potentially 45 million for just three years of future production. But at least they are paying for the absolute #1 CB in the league, no questions asked. Think about where Peppers is ranked with other DE’s in the league. Even if he gives us another 14 sacks next year, has his four year production been worth 56+ million? Think long and hard about that and make sure you weigh in the 2007 season.

Put it into perspective, Gross is going to get 60 million for six years. So based on the three names and amounts now mentioned, who do you think has the potential of giving their organization the least amount of production verses dollars paid?

Yes I realize that Gross and Asomugha’s contracts were planned and Peppers is a result of tagging and restructuring but intent is debatable, it’s the bottom line that counts. I think Pep needs to move on and the FO finds other alternatives. Everyone will be better off (except perhaps the new team that signs him).

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.

      I hope we are as improved as a lot of fans are hoping. However, this time of year everyone in the league thinks they have improved. It will be interesting.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      How many new starters will we have on defense?  That could be a good thing given how bad the D was last year, but it could also take some time for them to gel.
