Reiss said as much on Sports Final after the draft. At this point, it is hard to argue since there seems to be no activity on the Peppers front for any team, not just the Patriots.

If something were to happen regarding Peppers, the Pats would play it slow and show no interest until the Panthers were desperate, and Peppers wanted out bad enough to compromise on month. And neither may happen.

But if this is to happen, it will appear dead for a while before it does.

Never really believed it, thought that his salary demands would throw things completely out of kilter for this franchise..

Just too much money. The Patriots look a lot smarter for getting something quick for Cassel rather than wait.

If it appears dead, someone please bury the body so it doesn't come back again.

But think what BB could do with a ZOMBIE Peppers! Sure, he'd lose some speed, but since you can't hit guys in the head there'd be no way to stop him!

The most telling comment was the fact he said, ”I’m not sure it was ever alive.”

From a report saying "the deal was done" to it never even existed. What a saga that one was.
