Default Crunch time for Peppers

If the guy wants to be traded he better get that tender signed before the draft especially if he wants to play for the patriots. BB will find a rusher or even two in the draft if peppers doesn't get things rolling along.

What's the chances you guys think he signs his tender this week before the draft, I mean he has to if he wants to be traded right?

A player can sign the tender if a trade agreement is in place. I agree with Mo, if he's not traded in the next week he won't be coming to the Pats.

I say he signs it and he is traded to the Pats. I don't see any draft pick that can come in right away and play OLB.

But aren't the Panthers and Patriots not allowed to even talk trade because the player is not under contract?

At this point, with the draft picks and CAP space he's going to eat up, I would rather keep our picks and develop a young edge rusher and keep our 4 day one picks. He can stay where he is.

Getting pep for the right price would be great, I'm all good even if we don't get him and just use the draft to fill the olb need. But yeah if he's not traded before or during the draft we can all wash our hands of him.

If Peppers were traded, the patriots would need to free up considerable cap monies.

At this point, I don't even care to even think about Peppers unless something significant happens. Even with the talk about trading players, the media seems to have moved onto Boldin and Braylon Edwards and have given up all together on a Peppers trade.

Which the reason why I don't think it will happen. We would have to cut some players, even if we restructure contracts.

He has performed well as a DE, but is he proven enough to play OLB with what they would have to sacrifice? I think they just draft well. It would be a done deal, if we weren't so tight against the cap, though.
