Gonzalez got out...By not forcing it


Montsta

Good observations.

You know, it might help Julius if he hired an agent.

Good call. I've got a lot of friends growing up that are still close to me, and my accountant/financial advisor does wonders with my itemized tax deductions, but none of them would be selected as my agent if I made it in professional sports. I love them to death, but I'm still gonna give Rosenhaus a call...

This for sure, or in the least. Maybe carry hired someone to help him in this area. Something and then maybe on Peppers part, get off the high horse with all the demands and poo.

It should be noted that what little of "forcing the issue" Peppers did was now almost four months ago. Since then he appears to have been patient.

This is what makes me think he'll be here this season and gone next. I really do see this playing out just like Gonzalez's situation. Very vocal at first, and then when he shut up about, he got his wish a year later. I really don't see it playing out Like Ocho Cinco, where EVERY year you hear trade rumors on the guy.

Interesting point. If that is true, who then should we give credit to for making him "shut up about it" in your opinion?

The only difference is Peppers isn't signed to a contract, so if he goes next year it will probably be for nothing. Unless he signs a long term contract this year after seeing his value isn't what he thought it was(unlikely).

I don't know who finally got in Peppers and Carey's ears about how it's never a good idea to work on these types of things through the media. and that they aren't helping the situation by speaking out, but god bless whoever it was. Who knows, maybe Carl Carey finally finished his two week online be-an-agent classes, and the poor guy just didn't understand the trade negotiations portion because they hadn't gone over that yet. So I don't know who gets credit. Maybe Oprah and her free chicken.

    • I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
