keepthefaith Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true This would suck for us BIG TIME The Patriots approach each season looking to do whatever it takes to win a championship.
IDBillzFan Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The Pats could make a run for Dr. Pepper, and they'd still sweep the Bills. Don't sweat the small stuff.
VOR Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Wait, the Panthers don't want a (late) first rounder because of the cost? LOL! The difference between a late first rounder and the 34th overall is at best about $500K a year in cap space. And if they clear Peppers' $17M cap hit...
BillsFan74 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Rumor is the Pats are giving up a second round pick to Carolina for him....That sounds cheap to me.
seq004 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 If they get Peppers for a 2nd rounder maybe we should give up.
Never NEVER Give-up Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Maybe this should serve as a wake-up call and the FO s/b bold again and make a run at Peppers themselves!!!!
ax4782 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Peppers isn't going to come to Buffalo. Nor do I think he will sign with the Patriots. He simply wants way too much money. That being said, if he went to NE, then we had better resign Peters, because right now, he's the only guy on the team that even has a chance of blocking that guy for two games a year. Washington and Dallas are better bets.
BillnutinHouston Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The Patriots are basically daring us to sign Peters.

ChasBB Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The Pats could make a run for Dr. Pepper, and they'd still sweep the Bills. Don't sweat the small stuff. ummm, the Pats just have to show up to sweep the Bills. Jauron cannot defeat Bilichick -- end of story.
BobDVA Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I find it amusing that there is a Salary Cap, but teams like New England, Dallas, and Washington never reach it no matter how much money they spend...
VOR Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Not so fast. Panthers deny trade talks Panthers: No Peppers deal, or talks Panthers general manager Marty Hurney issued a statement through team spokesman Charlie Dayton tonight denying an NFL.com report that the team was working on a trade to send franchise free agent Julius Peppers to the New England Patriots for a second-round draft pick. "By the rules of the CBA, we cannot and have not had any conversations with other teams about Julius," said Hurney. "Under the non-exclusive franchise tag, Julius and his agent, Carl Carey, are within their rights to talk to other teams about a potential contract. However, at this point, we are not aware of any such conversations." Carey could not be reached for comment. -- Charles Chandler
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Not so fast. Panthers deny trade talks We can only hope this is the case. Putting Peppers next to Wilfork would just be wrong.
Erik Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I find it amusing that there is a Salary Cap, but teams like New England, Dallas, and Washington never reach it no matter how much money they spend... I think it's funny that the Pats continue to commit highway robbery, both in free agency and trades. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that Belichick was sending guys to break legs or something.
Pneumonic Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Not so fast. Panthers deny trade talks They have no choice but to deny it even if it were true. Peppers isn't under contract to the Panthers (he hasn't signed his franchise tender) so therefore the Panthers aren't legally able to discuss a trade of him. But, in such cases teams always do talk trade (via the agent). They just do discreetly.
lets_go_bills Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I am absolutely terrified of this rumour. This would be very bad news.
VOR Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I am absolutely terrified of this rumour. This would be very bad news. Well if it happens, it will be interesting to see if the Patriots can find a way to lose the SB again.
