well...it depends on whether it is a real effort, or just in passing.......it would be interesting to see what the offer was

Sounds like the Bears think they have him all wrapped up.

In other words Belichick doesn't give a **** about what you think, so he wouldn't make an offer to Peppers just to make it look like he's doing something.

I sense frustration..

I hope this means Wilfork is already locked up.

All that's happening is that BB is not closing the opportunity door on a real longshot. A 1% chance of landing a player who'll improve your team for less than top of the mkt offer is better than a 0% chance by not participating with any offer.

Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

Hopefully, these zombie Peppers threads can finally die once he signs with one of the 31 other teams.

I don't think the Pats are that type of FO to make phantom offers just to placate the natives. They may do it to drive up the price for a division or conference foe though.

If the rumors are true, I think it's a legitimate, genuine effort on the Pat's part.

As you point out, the question is the offer and how much in the ballpark is it when compared to the other offers Pepper's has fielded.

It does for Jets and 'Skins fans.

Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”

That this board is infatuated with Julius Peppers.
