Hey let the guy go at times last year he got a ton of garbage sacks, an it is just funny that he had a 14.5 sack total in a contract year. Pep, this is about money plan and simple, good-bye and have fun being the next A-rod of the NFL. You have not put up hall of fame numbers and you have lost your fire. Granted you played for some crappy Carolina teams but so did alot of players. You could have been the face of a franchise and been a great captin for the team but you didn’t even take advantage of that opportunity and Beason did. Have fun playing for a 3-4 defense, and yeah we will miss you 14.5 sacks but is that the real peppers or is it the one that wines and complains about not reaching his full potiental, YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY HERE, and you choose to not take the advantage. We will replace you with someone who wants to be here and really we should stop blogging on this and maybe the media should to so he could get the message that nobody cares. Hit the road jack.

My problem with the whole Peppers situation is that we haven’t signed Gross yet. I think we should give Gross pretty much whatever he’s asking, and then franchise Peppers and trade him. If we can’t sign Gross, we can franchise him again and then Peppers walks, and we get nothing for him. I think that is exactly what’s going to happen and I’m not happy about it. It is also possible that, although Gross is quiet, he feels something similar, and he walks, too. Everyday that there is no news is a day of bad news. If we franchise Peppers to trade him, Gross will be gone in my opinion, and I think most teams would rather have Gross than Peppers. Peppers is sounding more and more like an idiot. If we franchise him, some other team has to pick up the tag if we trade him. Who would do that for a guy that is continuously showing a me-first attitude. These comments have to got to be turning off most GMs in the league. So we might franchise him, lose Gross, and then get stuck having to pay him almost $17 million for probably another 2.5 sacks. I think that no matter what happens, his competitive fire is dying down, he no longer truly loves the game, and will be retired in 3 years.

As a fan(atic) – it’s ALL about emotion. People don’t buy jerseys, pay hundreds of hard-earned dollars on tickets, paint their faces, or plan their weekends around their favorite teams without emotion.

I’m sorry that your team’s owner called you out to tell you to step up. It’s not like he told you to clean the bathrooms or something unpleasant like those of us in the real world have to deal with!

So many players have tried to go where the grass was greener, and found that it was the same or worse.

Not only is my 10-year-old son not going to wear your jersey number in Pop Warner any more, I’m trading you on my Madden franchise.

Some of you say he was never one of the elite DEs in the game, but when you compare him to other DEs, very few were as good at stopping the run, dropping back into zone coverage, and blocking kicks. Freeney and Allen got more money than Pep, and they were not as skilled or talented. Not even Michael Strahan had the complete set that Pep has. But as you guys mentioned, he failed in the work ethic department whereas the other guys excelled. I would never accuse Strahan of taking a play off. Those other guys had a burning desire to win, and Pep didn’t. So that’s why Pep could have 4 tackles, I sack and an interception in the Pro Bowl, but find a way to not even make the stat sheet in some games during the regular season. We can’t afford to pay him $17 million dollars for 10-12 games of real work.
