i think it would be great if hes doing it to make sure they dont get him. if hes great i dont want to play him 2 times per year
Barring a dramatic change, Julius Peppers isn't going anywhere.
With draft day Saturday, Peppers, a Pro Bowl defensive end, is still a member of the Carolina Panthers, albeit as a franchise free agent.
No trade is in sight and the team is moving forward with plans that he'll be back next season.
Neither the New England Patriots nor the Philadelphia Eagles, two teams Peppers was interested in playing for, have shown a willingness to surrender the mega-trade package necessary to acquire him from Carolina and give him a top-market contract.
Since Peppers hasn't signed the tender offer he received from the Panthers when they franchised him, they can't trade him under rules of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.
By not signing the tender before the draft, Peppers was able to make sure the Panthers didn't try to trade him to a team for which he did not want to play.

I don't know man, Peter King has the Jets grabbing Barwin at 17. Maybe the jets are just messing with this board.
Does King really have Barwin going 17 ? I know some of the people on this board are making tiny messes thinking about him, but I find the over-the-top Vrabel comparisons and the "he's a Patriot-type player" talk a little too much. #1, I don't see him in Foxborough, #2 I definitely do not see him going lower than #20 (a number I already consider a stretch).

Tyson Jackson is not going #3 Peter. Pioli is not stupid enough to not trade down even if it meant taking slightly lesser value to get the player he wanted.
I'm not saying he wouldn't be doing great with Jackson. He is one of the best players in this draft with some great upside to go along with the package. But based on the positioning of this draft I would try my best to move down a few slots to a willing taker. Maybe the Raiders?
Would you take less than usual to move down?????
Yes, because moving down only a couple spots for a drastically below market trade, if you're still certain you can get your guy, 1) gives you more draft picks, and 2) lowers the contract you'd have to pay. It's a smart move, even if you could have gotten more compensation in the past. Better to get something rather than nothing, right?
