What is LEAST likely to happen this offseason to the team?


poll coming up

 

[Adam Seward]

I would say the scales of probability are tipping heavily against the signing of Adam Seward.

 

[Hok]

I picked Peppers being signed, because we'd technically have to trade for him, thus putting the chances of us signing him at 0%.

No brainer.

- Rodney retiring - more likely than not
- Veteran QB - quite possible, discussions with Patrick Ramsey have taken place
- Jason Taylor - quite possible if a deal can be worked out
- Tedy Bruschi - probably lasts 1 more year, but who thought Vrabel would go?

- Julius Peppers - could happen, but it would take the right deal and the right contract. Much more complicated, much more unlikely.

 

[Kontradiction]

This is a real brain teaser....

 

[Deus Irae]

Winning the Stanley Cup wasn't an option for some reason....

Actually, the Pats have better Vegas odds on that than my Tampa Bay Lightning*, though.

Tedy will surely stay for another season. We haven't got the slightest depth at the position and he can still play. His coaching skills also make him a valuable asset to the team. I think the Pats chose to keep Bruschi in stead of Vrabel, but it could've just as easily been the other way around. Now that Vrabes is gone, Tedy will stay.

 

[patriots pam]

Oh, and wrt the poll, signing Peppers is the obvious choice. My avy is just the symbol of my unrealistic hopes and dreams. This particular one, anyway. I'll probably go with a "Wes Welker CALL ME!" avy once the Peppers situation is resolved.

 

[Number 2]

I voted on Tedy being cut, he is very valuable to the team in leading the yound line backers. I don't see him returning after this season though.

 

[Joker]

I voted no on yes and maybe on the rest

 

[PatsDeb]

Had to go with the Julius Peppers signing. Of course, I also said we'd never sign Randy Moss back in the day.

 

[farn]

All are reasonable - but I also voted Peppers. As mentionned, I think it's a sound deal, just difficult to fit under the cap. To be honest, I could see all of these as options (though obv either Taylor OR Peppers, not both).

I think Bru will be back - he is cheaper than Vrabel - but he can't be in Foxborough for many more years...

 

[StyLeZ X]

oh man this was a puzzler!

 

[PatsBoy12]

It looks like the general consensus is the Julius Peppers deal being the most unlikely. All of the other options seem a bit more likely to happen, however unlikely they may be.

 

[KY Pats Fan]

I just don't see Peppers getting signed. He would cost too much and doesn't fit a 3-4 DE or OLB.

 

[italian pat patriot]

i went for option n.4

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

I didn't see Goodell giving the Pats back their #1 that was taken away listed, that would have been my pick.....

 

[bigfandan]

If Peppers costs over $10MM a year, AND a high 2nd or a 1st, which he most likely will, I don't want him on the team. We can get one or two studs from colleges for a fraction of that $10MM cost. Granted there will be a learning curve with rooks but the long term benefit to the team is much greater. But the way, I hope either Wood or Crable will burst on the scene this year and deliver a 8 to 10 sack performance. :singing:

Yeah, that will rest the peppers discussion for me.
