I don't pretend to know what it would take to get PP, but contract-wise I think he's pretty affordable ($11-$13 million/year I believe). Especially if we utilize similar creativity a la Frank Clark's deal.
Let's remember that rookie CBs tend to get owned by veteran NFL QBs. They get picked on mercilessly and rarely finish their rookie seasons looking very good, statistically speaking. And the Chiefs play veteran QBs 14 times this coming season. And 9 of those QBs have proven that they the skill set to to do so.
PP is a known quantity, and while he might have lost a step, his football intelligence and coverage skills still make up the difference against all but the very fastest WRs. PP would lock down the opposing team's no. 1 WR, giving the rest of the secondary some breathing room with the remaining receiving options.
Of course, the problem with this scenario is that I have no idea what we'd have to give up in terms of draft picks to get him.
Too bad we couldn't just pay straight cash for him . . .
