We SHOULD NOT get Peppers. This is crazy. He'll be a ton of money and will make no significant improvement. At least not enough to get to the playoffs or SB which is all that matters.

FA is for good teams trying to be great, or great teams trying to stay that way. A team as weak as ours needs to build from the draft and not be overly outrageous with our spending.

Prefers? He said that he would like to play in a 3-4.

Ok Herm.

Yep. This.

He could play in the 3-4. Easily. We would be stupid to not even be in the running. Having said that he wont be here

I'm no Herm. I'm actually rather aggressive. But I'm also a fairly intelligent businessman and I know that spending a lot of money on one person at this point isn't the way to the playoffs. We need, young players from the draft. Not a bunch of outrageously-priced middle-aged athletes who will only provide temporary (3-4 years) help.

If there's no cap I hope the Chiefs spend 500 million dollars on players, it's not like there's a cap hell to worry about.

Unless a new CBA goes into place after teams make it rain. I think you'll see a lot more teams dumping overpaid turds than handing out Haynesworth type of deals.

If we spend 500 mil, Washington will spend a Bil. We are a small-market team. We are one of the teams who are going to get fucked in the ass without lube unless we have a cap.

You know how the AL East almost always has the wild card team, and half the time is in the series? That will be the NFC East. The AFC will be a bit more spread out, but there will be some severe inequality.

Possibly a mix of both...it benefits teams that have important players to resign though.

Last I heard Washington was going to switch to a 3-4, so there ya go with all the moves this offseason half the league has literally switched to 3-4.

I'll be pissed off if I hear Pioli even considers this move. You don't just throw away a top 5 pick after one year of learning the system. Especially if you are going to scrap one of them for a guy 10 years older who would in turn have less experience in the 3-4 then they do. It's a popular name but I'd much rather stick with what we have. I don't think our Rookie DE's are the main problem on this defense.

How is this throwing a way a top 5 pick? Your post doesn't make any sense.

Peppers would play standing in a 3-4 he and Jackson have shit to do with each other.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 02-01-2010, 02:04 AM

What is Peppers going to play LB? Dorsey and Jackson aren't going anywhere. Nor should they.

It's already like that, unless the Chiefs turn into a premier drafting team like Pittsburgh or Green Bay they are not going to outbid the big market teams for premier FA's, hell we've never even tried to do it before, the Chiefs are a bit cheap at times.

OK so you move him to LB where he still has no experience. How is that any better?
