Although I would never bet a single penny on it, I wouldn't be totally shocked if both players came here. It is a definite long shot (somewhere under 5% of a chance), but Belichick's history is when this team starts to show weaknesses that affects them in the win/loss column he is agressive to fix (rebuilding the secondary in 2003 or rebuilding the WR corp and getting a LB to cover TEs in 2007).
And before I get flamed, I am not predicting it will happen and I believe it probably won't, but it wouldn't shock me if it did happen.
I do agree that based on what each player will probably command vs. similiar players for their respected positions I think Peppers will be cheaper. Yes, he will probably make more money, but that is because 3-4 OLBs/4-3 DEs get paid a lot more than MLB/ILBs. But compared to other players ate their relative positions, Dansby might end up being the highest paid player at his position. Peppers probably won't and might not be in the top 5 or even top 10 because of his age and reputation of slacking at times.
IMO if you are looking for a 'daily double' to help this team,A better chance of two high profile players coming here in one lump time would be Donte Stallworth and Deion Branch before I would expect both Dansby and Peppers and when the CBA is back how bad would that hurt this team if both Karlos and Julius both were signed at high numbers?.
