Wishful thinking I guess...
I think a smokescreen is quite possible, though not quite in the way you suggest. If the Pats do want to make a run at Peppers, then showing some interest in Jason Taylor or Ray Lewis would be a good way of putting some pressure on Carolina to cut a deal.

I am personally not a big fan of Ray Ray because of his checkered past, but even at his age he does have some talent. Sometimes guys like Lewis have ridiculous demands early and price themselves out of the market and then are forced later to take even less than they could have gotten at the beginning of free agency because they overplayed their hand. It could happen to Lewis.

Lewis is an upgrade to what the Pats have right now. I wouldn't pay Lewis all that much to come here though. He is an one to two year rent a player who is better than the average rent a player.

That scenario also makes total sense.

The Basics of the 3-4 Defense @ Edweirdo's Oakland Raiders Report

Quote:
How hard is it to play 3-4 ILB? Check out this telling quote by All-Pro Ray Lewis, who is glad to be finished playing 3-4 ILB (the Ravens are switching from the 3-4 to the 4-3 and 46 for the 2005 season):

"We're in the 46 defense now, and finally, finally again, I get to play football," said Lewis. "My job is not to take on offensive linemen, but to make running backs not want to play against me"
Please tell me Holley is wrong and this jack***** isn't coming here to try to run around blockers, instead of taking them on, as our SILB. I know BB is smarter than that.

This is how I see it!!

I just cannot picture the face of BB when Ray does his whole song and dance comming onto the field. Remember we come out together and play as a team not make a huge deal of one person coming onto the field. That being said he is a HOF LB but not the guy he use to be. He just does not fit in I think but a young team like KC with lots of cap room may want to add a second vet LB as they really have nothing there. He could be the leader in KC and give that defense a bit of creditability and to light a fire under Dorsy's ass (I thought this kid was going to be all world when I watched him in college.

So you'll treat Bruschi like garbage, and hamper the development of Guyton to bring in loud mouth Lewis who leadership style is not needed in the Pats locker room?
