I would say Peppers...he had a down year last year, but has bounced nicely. Unlike Haynesworth, I think Peppers has been a bit under the radar, and I do like the fact that Peppers has been pretty consistent (save for last year), unlike Haynesworth. Both Carter and Taylor are in their 30s, and having Peppers along with Taylor or Carter would give us some time to develop a young DE (hopefully through the draft).

I still think that we need a better DT, however I think Haynesworth has higher risk of becoming a bust than Peppers; furthermore, there are a few character issues with Haynesworth.
