Wilfork for Pepper's


Recommended Posts

Everyone knows Peppers wants to play for New England and NE wants Peppers. Wilfork wants to be paid. NE also drafted Ron Brace in case Wilfork hits the Free Agent Market after next season.

I am normally an opponent of making Fantasy Football trades but this one seems to be good for both squads. Though a nose tackle I am quite sure he would tranistion to a nice DT.

Let's trade Peppers for Wilfork and maybe a 4th or 5th rounder. This would solidify our D-Line and let Peppers go where he wants to go and let our current stable of DE fight it out. I think in the long run everyone will be happier.

We can sign him for much less the 17 mil a season and open up some cap space either for next season or someone of value that might get dropped after TC.

Just a thought, your opinion?

I think this is assuming a bit much. As stated before. The one way you can be sure you got a raw deal is to make one with Belicheat. They do not pay for players they steal them.

sorry...this subject (peppers getting traded or whatever) has been beat into the ground pretty bad and the wilfork thing has been talked about quite a bit even going back to when the possibility of peppers wanting to go to the pats was first known.

peppers isn't going anywhere. he is going to be here next year and it is pretty much just understood that he will. the coaches and players are all talking like he will be and most of the rumors have died down completely.

that said....

    • Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.
    • There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon. 
    • People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
