Peppers want to play in a 3-4 next season

[Everlastingxxx]

U know what, i really like the idea of Peppers as the other bookend. Then you can cut the old man. It will also give Spencer another 3 more years to grow some pubes and finish his boozing. On 3rd down and long, have Ware, Spencer, Rat, Peppers.

I would say release Ellis and sign him for the $6M we would have to pay Ellis (if he would take that type of paycut to come to Dallas' 3-4) The problem is, I think we would still be on the books for $2M to Ellis leaving byt $4M. He can get well over $4M at another 3-4 defensive team.

He isn't coming here so stop dreaming!

if we gave peppers a 20 mil signing bonus that's only a 5 mil hit a year, so sign him....the real kicker on salary doesn't start til like year 3 or 4

 

[Bob Sacamano]

ZERO?

If Jerry wants him that number goes up to 100%

Don't be a hater!! You know you want some Peppers!

just as long as Jerry doesn't try to push a time-clause on him

 

[Cowboys2008]

We need FA to begin so we can start taking some of these players off our radar.

And yea they are on our radar. Any high profile player who publicly states he wants to be a Dallas Cowboy automatically goes on Jerry's radar, and the radar of most every Cowboy fan.

We are far from out of the woods with Peppers and Lewis. Heck, we're still on the clock where Boldin and Chad Johnson are concerned, also, regardless of our trade for Roy11 last year. As long as #11 isn't producing and #81 is still on the bubble, those last 2 are especially still on our radar as long as they wanna still come here I'd bet. But this isn't about the WRs, it's about the defensive 2, and coincidentally we could use both of them also.

Personally, I'm not sure it will be any of the above mentioned, but I'd lay odds on at least one high profile player coming here this offseason. Jerry has just been too quiet. In fact, almost uncomfortably quiet. He's up to something.

WORD.

Ellis is making 6.5 next year..why not get Peppers to replace him?

Sign him to a 4 year deal..he wants to play for us and he's off the books in 4 years..meanwhile we got a deadly combo in Ware and Peppers during those years. Spencer can still spell Ware/Peppers and be DE on third downs.

More news on Peppers;

Peppers has say in long-term future
Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Carolina Panthers, Jordan Gross, Julius Peppers

There is yet another wrinkle to introduce into the Julius Peppers-Carolina Panthers saga.

Any team that trades for the Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end will have to satisfy not only Carolina, but Peppers as well.

Peppers has a select list of teams he wants to play for this season. He has vowed to those who know him best that he will not, under any circumstance, sign a long-term deal for a team that is not on his wish list.

And this is not about money, either. If it were, Peppers already would have signed the contract proposal from the Panthers that would have made him the richest defensive player in the history of the league. Peppers rejected that offer and opportunity before last season kicked off.

Consistent with his comments Saturday and true to his word, Peppers is not viewing this as a financial move but a career move –- to a place he wants to be, to a defense that appeals to him, to an organization he wants to be around.

Now, while Carolina races the clock to re-sign offensive tackle Jordan Gross so it can slap its lone franchise tag on Peppers, the Panthers could be racing themselves. Gross’ contract could wind up having little bearing on Peppers’ next landing spot.

Even though Carolina might have the first say about where to trade Peppers, it will not have the final say. Peppers also plans to have a say in where he plays the 2009 season and beyond.

Julius Peppers wants to play for the Cowboys

Tim MacMahon E-mail News tips

The Rock Hill (S.C.) Herald reports (via Pro Football Talk) that Julius Peppers has a list of four teams to which he would accept a trade if the Panthers put the franchise tag on him.

The only team named in the report? The Cowboys, of course.

Feel free to dream about Peppers, who has made it clear that he wants out of Carolina and would prefer to move to OLB in a 3-4, wreaking havoc on the opposite side of DeMarcus Ware.

Just don't hold your breath for it to happen. With no first-round pick, it'd be difficult for the Cowboys to put together a reasonable trade proposal. With the plan to make Ware one of the highest paid defensive players in the game, it'd be difficult to create cap space to give Peppers that kind of deal, too.

I concur. With his athleticism and his apparent interest in becoming a 3-4 OLB, I don't doubt for a second that Pepp wouldn't make a hell of a 'backer, but the $$$ don't make http://img.***BLOCKED***/albums/v628/cowboyszone/zone_icons/two_cents_z.gif!

he's also gonna be 30 next season. he knows he can get a good contract just not a crazy one. he also probably wants to try to win a championship and that ain't happening in Carolina. which is why I think he goes to NE but hopefully we dump Ellis and Roy to clear some cap space and he comes here.

even more reason for him to ask for a max contract

it could be his last chance to get one

yeah cause he might be living in a box on the streets and unable to feed his family if he doesn't get a max contract. remember we are the #1 team on his list. Jerry will probably just give 81 another extension though.
