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.

good point. but i think adding another 7-8 sacks would be the difference between a 6-10 season and a 7-9 or 8-8 season. i know we all want to be excited, but its stretching things to beleive this team will be a contender in 2010. while i'm not surprised to hear that we plan on pursuing peppers, i cant say i think its a good idea at all. he's over the hill and he'll disappear when he gets paid. just like you said, any contract he signs is going to look really really bad in just a couple of years.
