My interpretation:
- Woods is getting packaged in a trade. - Just humour me, that seemed awfully stumbly there.
- They are moving up in the first for someone if at all possible. See: "The higher the pick, the better the talent."
- The Peppers Trade is on.
Barwin, Butler and Peppers. There's your Patriots Day one. Book it, Dano.
Also, everything he said was a smokescreen. Or a double smokescreen.
So there.

That is a truly weird statement, unless you're a reporter...
I love BB presser's because I love jerking people around and he's kind of a role model in that respect...
As for Peppers, until he signs the tender, the Pats/Panthers can't consumate a trade. And things aren't looking good for Peppers to sign that tender. That being said, a trade for Peppers that included Woods would help the Patriots salary cap situation since Woods doesn't have a signing bonus as part of his tender. And Woods would probably fit very well as a DE for the Panthers.
I think that, while Belichick did mention the potential for moving up big, I think he's more than content to only make small hops in this draft and that the Pats could be looking at 4 picks still on day 1.
It was right here that the Woods signing his Tender was first announced.

Well, the signing the tender really isn't that big of a deal. Teams are pushing for that more this year because they are trying to avoid anything that gives the NFLPA any ammo to attack the entire franchise tag process, but in previous years, signing the franchise tender was just a formality that was usually done after a trade and long term contract was negotiated. Belichick is talking the talk with the franchise tender signing, but I doubt that is holding up a potential trade if it was to happen.

I can't imagine how the trade could happen. The first thing the Patriots
would have to do is clear 16 million dollars of salary cap space. Most of
their high priced players have contracts that expire after 2009. This
would make restructuring alone impossible. I think they would have to cut
three or four starters outright to get the cap space.

Among other things he feels this is the most potentially flexible draft for him. He also says it's getting more difficult to predict which top positions and therefore players teams are going to go for.
Anyone know if there is a Podcast out there of Bill's Press Confrence?
If Peppers doesn't sign the tender prior to the draft, then I don't believe he can be traded as part of a draft pick scenario..Which would mean that Carolina would lose out on picks this year for him
Well, Peppers can sign his tender at the time he is being traded. Well, just before. There isn't a waiting period between when he signs the tender and when he is traded. The Pats actually unofficially announced the trade of Tebucky Jones before he signed his tender a few years back.
