And I figured this deserved it's own thread since it's a major move.
For the second round pick they got for Cassel.
the rich get richer.

19-0
And Schefter reported this, so it's about 99% true.
hmm....I'm looking around and every news place is reporting that the Patriots & Panthers are working on a deal, but nobody is confirming it's actually done. Some reports are saying they're hoping it gets done by next week.
So until this is a done deal.....18-1.
Man, ESPN sucks so much ass. They just now reported this. NFL.com had this reported at 12.
NFL's version of Gasol trade
Yeah I'm sure the Panthers have every reason to be in collusion with the Patriots.
And this isn't near as bad as the ass-raping we gave the Raiders when we got Moss for a 4th rounderthat is still the funniest ever.
lol i really hope the Pats up again, so then they would not only go down as a dynasty for winning, but a dynasty for choke jobs, like the Buffalo Bills. First they choke a massive lead to the Colts, then after being dubbed in a very USCesque style as "the greatest team ever", going undefeated in the regular season, they choke against the giants and blow a late game lead in that one. first, 3 rings in 4 years. now 3 chokejobs in 4 years. this is going to be yet another epic season.
but again, they have no reason to not win the championship, and they most likely will. if they dont, im not sure what would be a bigger chokejob, cuz according to pats fans, they now have Ed Reed and Ray Lewis in their primes, so this team should actually be even better than the 18*-1 team.
They are talking about converting Peppers as a linebacker. I trust Belichick knows what he is doing if that's the case.Mayo/Crable/Guyton are 3 youngsters who will only get better. Add in Peppers and Thomas and this is a solid linebacking core. The D is going to be disgusting next season. Im thrilled about how potent it is going to be. We will have the draft to get even stronger.
It was already known Peppers was going to be a LB in the 3-4. That's the reason he wanted to leave the Panthers, he wants to play in the 3-4.
Eh I am not going to call them a shoe in for the championship yet. Got to play the games on the field. They will be right in the thick of things. I know we will beat the piss out of the Steelers if both teams make the playoffs and we face them. The Steelers D is Tom Brady's .
Wow! Patriots are going keep being bad asses!
Is this confirmed yet?
Link?
They're just in talks!
OK.....so nothing is official.....however it looks like NE is getting him.
That's gonna be a nasty defense.
The Patroits are already favored to win the SB next year so this deal only affirms it.
I thought Peppers was rumored to be going to Detroit????!!!

neat
A second round pick? That's too much! I mean the Pats gave up a 4th for Moss. Surely Peppers can be had for a 5th...

Not true...they can't even talk to them yet. Not until he signs his tender..it's all rumors.
yeah, i thought they put the franchise tag on'em!?
No f'ing way. If so, I'm absolutely stoked. Peppers for a second round pick? Hooooly sh*t.
Edit: Ah it's not official yet. I'll wait til it actually happens to cheer.
that is the one team i would rather see lose more than the pats. ben worthlessburger.Eh I am not going to call them a shoe in for the championship yet. Got to play the games on the field.

For whatever reason, I really don't see this deal happening anymore.
Peppers is going to cost way too much money, and he's going to want a long-term deal. There's no guarantee he'll successfully convert to OLB, and as a DE in a 3-4 he'll struggle, because he's a pass rush specialist. He's not a great run stopper, and honestly he seems like a freak of nature type who gets by on athleticism alone. I wonder if he has the IQ to be in a "read & react" defense.
Plus, they still need a lot of money to give Vince Wilfork an extension, and he's the most valuable part of that defense.
Even so, my pants are still going crazy over the thought of having a dominating rusher like Peppers in NE. I just don't know if it makes sense fiscally, and I have some doubts if he'll be able to adapt to The Patriot Way. But if Bill thinks he can do it, then he can do it.
In Bill We Trust.
