any player in the nfl that would want a contract like peppers?? I wouldnt and that seems to be the same sentiment amongst journalist of the 2 suitors who come up most in the peppers rumors

It would definitely be worth it for a QB who is as good at QB as Peppers is at DE.

Outside of that, I honestly don't know if I would. My team would already have to have said good QB, and just about everything else in place except for a premiere pass rusher.

The Vikings traded for J. Allen last year when they had an inexperienced QB in Jackson. Most teams realize that D whens championships and a good pass rush is essential for a great D and that is what Peppers does best. I don't see us getting two 1st rounders for him but I do think that some team will be willing to trade for him.

personally i dont think its the draft picks teams would have to give that scares them away, its the contract. if peppers realy wants out, and its not about the money he needs to be willing to take a contract thats around 12-13 million a year. i thnk someone would sign him at that.

For a talent like peppers....yes. Watch out for the Broncos or The Patriots.

The broncos have been stock piling players to make trades for picks to get peppers??

The patriots have been quiet this year and they did trade away there starting olb in a 3-4 defense??

If they think that he is the guy who can get their team over the hump and deep into the playoffs...why wouldn't you trade for him?

Think about it this way...If a team said give us your first rounder and you will be the best team in you conference giving you the best chance to make it to the superbowl. Would you take that?

Or give us your first rounder and you will go from an 8-8 team to an 11-5 team, go to the playoffs, and have a shot to make a lot of noise with you newfound defensive talent...would you not take that?

The bottom line is that as fans we want to see continuity every season but as coaches of those teams they know its a "what have you done for me lately" league. Therefore they are probably more willing to mortgage the future for the present. A trade involving Pep is a perfect example of that. IMO it would be a perfect trade for a team like Denver who has the offense, they have some pieces on defense, and Pep would put them over the top in that division. With Cutler, their Oline, Dawkins, and Peppers they would be the favorite to win that weak division for a few years...

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
