Peppers not talking to teammates

And if he holds out while his money is still on the books...?

You free up cap space elsewhere, sign your picks and FA's that you need and go about your business. Then you welcome Julius back for week 11.

This won't happen though. Not with 17m on the table and the possibility of an uncapped year looming.

I agree--devils advocate and all. But I will say that I wouldn't bet on what Julius is going to do.

Hey guys, I'm posting a question in an existing Peppers thread, rather then starting a new one!!!!!

Ok, now considering a few weeks ago it seemed like Peppers to the Pats was a sure thing, do you guys still think this is a possibility?

My assumption on what is going on is the Pats have their eye on some talent that they think they might have the possibility of getting. IF that talent does not fall to them, I would say the "Peppers to NE" trade happens.

Methinks Yaz was desperate for any kind of info on this one so he went with this just to fill up space. Pep has always marched to his own drummer. We went on a Caravan Tour trip to somewhere on the coast once and he sat by himself and played on his blackberry all the way there and all the way back. Only player I'd ever seen on one of those trips who didn't sit in the back with his teammates. I honestly think Pep doesn't like the "hang out in strip clubs and bask in the adulation" lifestyle many of his teammates enjoy.

I would truly hope Pep has no visions of the team cutting him. That would be undoubtedly the most stupidly retarded thing this franchise has ever done.

I am not saying that is going to happen, but I would not put it past Pep, or his agent, honestly.

I don't think he is their type of player honestly. I also think he is more of a risk financially since it would require draft picks to get him plus a new contract. Why not snag one or two of the myriad of DE conversions that seem to be available in this draft and "raise" them in the system as an OLB? It would be less financial and draft pick risk IMO.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
