Peppers signs with the Bears (updated - again)

Felt this needed its own thread. Huge news for the defense if truth. please discuss

Redskins Insider - Haynesworth is the key in Redskins' use of 3-4 defense (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/albert-haynesworth/haynesworth-is-the-key-in-reds.html)

my bad see it being discussed elsewhere please close

EDIT: Now that the thread title changed, the joke doesn't seem funny anymore.

This seems like it could blow up in the faces of whoever goes out and gets him. I like Julius Peppers as much as the next guy, but I don't know that I'd want to be the team who takes the shot at him. I don't think he'll live up to his contract and he probably won't be as good as Orakpo in the 3-4, so I say, the Skins should pass on him.

this doesn't surprise me. peppers is no doubt a very good player. w/out a cap i have a feeling this is going to be 2000 all over again.

"The Future Is Now"!!

stupid

Count me among those who fear that Peppers will disappear once he's paid. Over the last couple of years he has had plenty to play for. Yet, despite some flashes, he has gone MIA too often.

He will

Good scheme fit, questionable work ethic, inevitable diminishing returns, contract will look horrendous in 2013.

Basically, you have to decide how viable it is that the team will compete this year. With Blache gone, adding another 7-8 sacks to this defense could be the difference between a fringe playoff contender and a super bowl contender.

I'm not crazy about this. If we're going to break the bank on defense, let's go after Dansby or maybe Rolle.
