Re: Cassel Trade Information on Radio Down Here

Thanks for the Carolina info, but I thought the Panthers were going to franchise Gross....?

Trying desperately to long-term Gross this evening.

i have always liked peppers but he would have to take a pay cut (i would think??) to play here.
if he wants a SB right then maybe he does it for a year or two.

Cassel is at almost $15m and Peppers would cost us about $10m. Expensive, yes. Saving CAP, yes.

If anyone thinks that he isn't serious about getting out of Carolina to go to a 3-4 team you are mistaken. He's already turned down a deal from Carolina that would've trumped Jared Allen's monster deal.

I'm not one to get overexcited about these kind of rumors. HOWEVER, I would say that there is a certain amount of logic to this one, if you make 2 very big assumptions: (1) Peppers really wants to play for a 3-4 team and is willing to negotiate a reasonable contract, and (2) Carolina has truly given up on Jake Delhomme after the debacle against Arizona. IF those 2 assumptions hold, then trading Cassel for Peppers works for both teams. The Pats free up $14.6M from their cap and can sign Peppers to a long-term deal with a lesser cap hit, addressing the pass rush which is one of their biggest needs. And Carolina saves face by getting rid of Peppers and his $17M cap hit which totally ties their hands, cutting Delhomme and freeing up his salary, and signing Cassel to a more cap-friendly long term deal. Cassel in Carolina, with Gross at OT and Steve Smith at WR, would be a nice place for him to end up.
The Pats would be fairly set at their front 7 for next year. They could either keep AD outside to pair with Peppers (which would be amazing) or move him inside to SILB and use Vrabel/Woods/Crable/etc. And Carolina could focus on keeping the rest of their team intact without the huge cap hit from Peppers, and on finding a decent DE in the draft or FA.

I doubt it will happen, but it's not entirely ludicrous.

I have mentioned this before and this would be intelligent. Swap Cassel to K.C. in an exchange of picks plus their second rounder #34. Swap the Chiefs #3 for Peppers. Carolina gets one more year out of Jake and signs Stafford to sit for a year and watch. Carolina has a good team. They won't get a shot at a top QB pick unless something like this happens. Now we get Peppers and the#34 pick which is like a late round first round pick as they say there are 37 first round grade picks this year.
We might have to throw in a low picks to sweeten the pot.
Thoughts?

Sounds good to me, and you swept in and saved the thread!

I'm not sure this post would really Warren a response.

We can't have a picnic unless we have Merri Weather. It's probably best that it would be Light out. Wil forks do or do we need spoons too? Didn't we have a TE who's name was Beer?

Whats the issue with him and the Panthers anyway? I don't get it. The fans don't get it either and hate him.

And I even heard the Cowboys mentioned as a potential spot.

He wants to play in a 3-4 defense.

He wants to play in a 3-4 defense.

I honestly dont know why he does either.

If he hits FA without being tagged who can afford the monster deal he wants? Denver and KC I heard are interested and are moving to 3-4s. They have money. Denver is cutting players by the hour.

The only problem I see is that you are assuming Stafford will be available at #3.

I like Peppers as a player, but he is far too expensive to be gambling that he would be a great OLB in the 3-4. Belichick knows better than I and if he is willing to take the gamble, I will reserve judgment. But on the face of it, it seems crazy to trade for Peppers and make him one of the highest paid players in football to play a position he has never played.
