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....

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
