Default Do you still want Peppers if...

he is looking for a contract that is better than haynesworths? That is what is being reported by Mort on espn. I just cannot see the patriots trading for a guy who wants that type of contract and would be playing a new position.

Nope

I dont believe that runor though, Haynesworth is the premeire dlinemen in the game a position much more expensive than OLB if Peppers wants to be LB he has to know his contract will reflect it.

If that's what it's going to take, then the Patriots simply can't afford it. </story>

No way. Team first.

Wilfork will be the biggest contract on the Pats after QB, assuming we can resign him. Peppers can be somewhere in Moss territory, maybe around 4 years at $35-45M. If that can't do it, then we move on.

Screw ESPN and their flock of donkeys. Peppers is looking to play in the 34 for a contender. No 34 teams that are contenders can afford to pay him remotely near that.

I don't trust, read or believe anything mortensen says and we're not giving someone a ridiculous 100 million dollar deal when he hasn't even played a down on the OLB position. It's great we have interest, but we should stick to our "spread the wealth" mentality.

Nein. He's a frikkin' conversion project, and he knows it. While projections say it will work, on the 10% chance it doesn't we would have a load of angry players and look foolish.

NEVER happen. Give the cash to Vince.
