Have the Patriots confirmed the trade yet?
LOL. They'd need to clear 17M in cap space first. How do you propose they do that?

at this point i rather see what woods and crable can do also i rather see the patriots extend wilfork!!
I would be stunned. Anything involving Peppers drastically affects the ability to extend or sign current or prospective Patriots.I agree. However, if a Peppers deal can get done without drastically affecting Wilfork and Seymour, then I'm for it.
In terms of that being my first post and also in terms of "oh this my buddy told me rumor blah blah" - I have to say that my friend telling me Peppers was at Logan Monday had little effect on me at that point in time. Do I believe him and his dad? hell yeah. why would someone call you on a Monday in the middle of the day to tell you a bunch of bull**** unrelated to anything relevant to current news (which at the time, we were unaware of Peppers signing his tender Wednesday). The information itself would make no sense without knowing the other shoe did indeed drop. I took it with a grain of salt at the moment, but yesterday, after Peppers going MONTHS AND MONTHS without signing the franchise tender, finally signs it, of course I felt like this was something I should share at that point because the proximity of the two events seemed suggestive. You can interpret that information however you want and ask how we're going to clear 17M but that doesn't change the facts or the chronology. I was just reporting what I was told because at that point yesterday, it clearly seemed like the two events were related. I'm not backing down from my comment either, so if Julius Peppers is not a New England Patriot within the next week you can rescind my membership.
It would be cruel and unusual punishment to rescind the membership of such a prolific contributor

Yeah I'm lookin' at you flyboy. I didn't post it Monday because I didn't have an account and I didn't want to post something with my first post I didn't have more information to validate. All of a sudden the dude signs the tender and the information Monday now carries some clout. You must be spending too much time in that thin air - I heard oxygen is necessary for proper brain function. Douche.
so if Julius Peppers is not a New England Patriot within the next week you can rescind my membership.
look everyone fly boy has 5 posts. why isnt he a troll?
And dude, I've read this board for years at this point and if you wanna know how a board is actually run go take a look at Sons of Sam Horn. You can blast your BS horn all the way back to Sandpiper Air in your Sandpiper Air aeroplane.
"I have signed the franchise tender and am now under a one-year contract with the Carolina Panthers. Recently, I've had positive and productive discussions with the organization. I am optimistic and focused as I look forward to the upcoming NFL season." - Julius Peppers
subtext anyone?
I would love to have Peppers be a Patriot, but lets be realistic. How can we afford 17 mil to get Peppers when we only have what 3 mil in cap space. As i said before, lets see what Woods and Crable can do and extend wilfork or go after someone much cheaper and extend Wilfork. What should the Patriots do? EXTEND WILFORK!!!!
That's right. For a real threat, how about if you're wrong we banish PWP too.

we'll be covering this (and others) from BeantownSCOOP (BeantownSCOOP) on Twitter from now on - and you guys can have your crow with barbecue or sweet n sour after the fourth
for those of you who have been nice - I did receive an update from the source saying that it's already a done deal and information should become more specific closer to the 15th but that word will start to trickle out after the holiday.
