But.... WE had "interest" in him!

 

[MichaelWinicki]

That's fine. Too old, unless he was going to come cheaply.

 

[Bowdown27]

Haha gotta love how all the sources said we were interested. Seems it wasn't that close at all

Melton and Ayers would be nice!

Melton and Ayers would be nice!

That would be a fine pickup.

We may have been interested in him. Maybe he was not interested in us. Maybe he wanted to finish his career somwhere he had a chance of winning and competing for a Superbowl. Not happening in Dallas as long as Jones is running the show.

WOW.....Agent Carl Carey says it's a three-year deal that can be worth $30M. Peppers gets $8.5M in Year 1

 

[Section446]

Good, we want youth.

 

[Sarge]

Peppers somewhat overrated at this point in his career ...... .02

 

[Rogerthat12]

If the numbers are accurate, we were never in play anyway!

 

[TheDallasDon]

Melton and Ayers would be nice!

Like that combo better anyway

Peppers is not a huge financial investment for #Packers when you consider only $7.5M Is guaranteed. At 34, may be a one-year experiment.

Mike, just curious....in your world is anything ever bad for the Cowboys?

 

[perrykemp]

Sounds like it's essentially a 1 year deal if the Packers want it to be.

$7.5 guaranteed isn't a whole lot.

Ayers is a JAG.

This is going to be a pretty bad season. Just looking forward to 2015 now.

It is more than we can afford.

We are doing whatever we want in free agency.
