Peppers wants out of Carolina

[tmax63]

One of the few out there that would be an upgrade over JA IMHO. I'll bet he could teach these young pups on our d-line more than the coaching staff ever could. That said I don't see it happening.

Of course, I'm way to lazy to look it up for myself, but I wonder what are some of the biggest contracts Pioli signed off on?

I don't have the numbers and have also contracted the laziness affliction.

But here's some info:

Brady and Richard Seymour got pretty big contracts (top 5 at their positions).

Adalius Thomas is probably their biggest free agent signing.

But Pioli/Belichick have let Ty Law, Adam Vinatieri and Asante Samuel leave rather than paying market rates for them. And Lawyer Milloy was cut after he refused to renegotiate his contract.

So if you're wondering if Pioli will sign a Peppers or a Suggs, my answer is yes, but a bigger question is this: do those players want to come to KC?

Ah, thanks for the info..as far as do they "want" to come to KC, money talks, but I'm not wanting to give up picks if they get franchised.

I don't think you need to worry about that; I don't think the Patriots ever signed a franchised player during Pioli's time here.

But moving up and down the draft board on draft day is something we have seen a lot, so don't be surprised if Pioli moves back in the first round and picks up some additional picks.

I wouldn't expect to see him move this season, because it's damn near impossible to move from the top 5.

Where's Mike Ditka when we need him?

Now that we have a Bona Fide winner at GM, they just might.

Agreed... never doubt the power of money either.
