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...

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
