Further showing what a tremendous deal this was for Miami:
They traded him for a second-round pick.
They got him back for nothing the next year, at one/eighth the cap cost, and keep that second rounder.
Nice.

There's alot of talk about getting someone who is a pass rushing beast but if you don't have one then the coaches have to devise some blitzing schemes to compensate. I'd almost rather have good, timely blitzes than that one guy who can get a good pass rush. For the past few years it seemed like the Pats knew when to call for the blitz, but last year for some reason, every time I felt like it was prime time for a blitz, they stayed back and you know the rest of the story! I wouldn't mind seeing them blitz more liberally, put some pressure on the quarterback to make quick decisions, and hope the secondary can take care of their business most of the time.
Meriweather didn't exactly put up impressive stats in 2007. . . . and now he's already 10% of the way to joining Rodney in the 30-30 club.
Looks like Julius is our best option right now, I say we give him a buzz soon. Unless of course Wood, Crable or Redd are expecteded to light it up. Arguably our biggest problem on Defense was our Pass rush, The Jets, Dolphins, and the Bills have all improved theirs, when will we?
According to Clayton, the Pats offered more than the Dolphins:
Jason Taylor agrees to one-year, $1.1 million deal with Miami Dolphins - ESPN
I have yet to hear a legitimate argument made for HOW we bring in Peppers without creating another hole on the team by dropping someone like Seymour (which may not save us that much anyway). My guess, what you see is what you get, aside from maybe a second tier vet who you hope can compete.
There undoubtedly ways to get some cap space, the issue in my mind has always been about trade bait.
We now have 3 second rounders next year. That's some good leverage, imo.
So tell me one! Enough of this, "There are ways, dude. You don't even wanna know, but there are ways. You want a toe? I'll get ya toe. Hell, I'll get you a toe by 3:00 this afternoon... WITH nail polish... bunch of f*****g amateurs!"
But seriously, tell me how
