at this point i rather see what woods and crable can do also i rather see the patriots extend wilfork!!

I agree. However, if a Peppers deal can get done without drastically affecting Wilfork and Seymour, then I'm for it.

I would be stunned. Anything involving Peppers drastically affects the ability to extend or sign current or prospective Patriots.
 
Anyway, this would have been cool (we assume), but really, I'm not pessimistic about our current OLB stable. It just might not start off as smoothly as it would with a seasoned vet. Still, Woods and Crable are reason to be optimistic, I think.
 
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.

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.

It would be cruel and unusual punishment to rescind the membership of such a prolific contributor

That's right. For a real threat, how about if you're wrong we banish PWP too.

Sounded like BS to me then and now. If I'm wrong, hats off to you. No need to resort to name calling. I find the person with the loudest or raunchiest voice is usually the person with the weakest argument. Personally, I hope you are right, but the coincidence of you joining this forum to make THAT as your first post makes you indistinguishable from being a troll. If you are not, and your information proves correct, I apologize in advance.
 
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!!!!

I agree 100%.

Not possible.

PWP has long since ceased to exist on the organic plane (see his avatar). His personality and experiences have been programmed into the code that generates this board, however, which ensures that he continues as a virtual presence for as long as the board does. Think of him as part of the firmware.

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.

don't forget who tolddd yaa

Nice shameless plug.

I thought only Jim Rome called it "Beantown'.

Of course, I didn't know that football players got police "details" either.

If you're still referring to the Peppers saga, the latest is that talks are back on for a long term deal to stay in Carolina. He obviously had a change of heart, once he realized no one was going to break the bank the way he expected. This big theory of 'where there's smoke there's fire.' is most likely nothing more than a simple call or two from Belichick early in the game to see what was up.

Regardless, even if he doesn't sign a long term pact this year, he'll still be playing for the Panthers this season under the tag. He's told all his teammates etc, and I didn't even realize there was still a big question to this anymore.

If you do end up being correct, and 'breaking' this story to us, then I will be the first one to offer you a sincere apology. And I'll have my crow with barbecue--not sweet and sour;)

How to put this..... Ok, here goes.


Look, you could be 100% accurate. You could be 100% wrong. We don't have a track record from you. We do have track records with others in the past who've posted the "my friend heard/saw..." stuff, and it's not been good. I've seen in happen on board after board, and it usually ends up being a false rumor. It's just the way it breaks down.

So, please, rather than getting upset if you haven't gotten the sort of responses you hoped for, just understand that people will be skeptical until you've proven yourself accurate often enough to overcome the various levels of reticence that are here on Patsfans.com. In the meantime, welcome to the board and feel free to join us in our discussions and debates.
