Peppers wants to play another season

[Sydla]

For the right price, I'd be all over him. Great presence in the locker room and can still provide some pass rush in limited snaps. It might only take a one year deal to get him too.

I'd have to say no thanks, unless he'd come super cheap.

Price is obviously a concern. I mean if he wants $8MM for next year, certainly not. But I'd pay $4-5MM for him, easily. He can still rush the passer. You likely won't be tied to him beyond this coming season so he's not a cap problem. It's looking like there might not be much in terms of proven pass rush help at 28 in the draft.

So I'd sign Peppers then draft a project DE like Willis or the kid from Villanova in the 2nd round.

General consensus here on CZ (including me) was that he was finished when he came available from Chicago back in 2013.

25 sacks later it's obvious he still had a fair amount of gas in the tank.

I wouldn't be opposed to a 1-2 year with not a lot of guaranteed money. He would have been the best pass rusher on the team last year, easily.

I still picture him getting all in Daks face talking noise in the playoffs. Get bent

His ability to only play a year or two more doesn't really fit with the Cowboys' new philosophy of drafting and building from within, but if they can get him cheap and no one is available via draft and FA, he might work as a stopgap as some pash rush is better than no pass rush.

The Peppers and Marinelli reunion.

A cheap 1 year deal works for me.

Thought this was talking about jabrill peppers want to go back to college lol

Agreed. Heck ive been a fan of the guy since he was a BB star at unc, I keep saying we are close, we just need one or two pieces. I don't know what he's got left, but we should atleast check it out.

 

[Bowdown27]

I can see him go back to Chicago or maybe reunite w marinelli on a one year deal. I think jerry wants ware instead but we'll see

I think peppers will go for 6-8mil avg. Dallas can easily get that. I dont see why they said limited snaps. The guy plays alot of snaps every yr. He reminds me of Bruce Smith. Just a guy who got sacks until he retired. The great ones just get it done.

Kpassagnon is not doing to be a DE for a 4-3 team. more like a 3tech

 

[Daillest88]

7.5 sacks last year, 10.5 year before. Darn right bring his arse in

 

[CF74]

Low base 1 yr salary with incentives above 6 sacks and I'd say if we can't find anyone else then Do It...

 

[Arkyvarminter]

He's better than Ware........

 

[Reality]

I wonder if he will be a "hot" target ..

 

[AzorAhai]

A much better fit than Ware. He stays healthy, and fits the scheme better. I'm not even sure you could play Ware 15 snaps a game and expect him to remain healthy at this point.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Hes better than Ware right now and if at a minimum why not

I prefer the DE's that pick the QB off the ground after they sack them

The year or two free agent is the way they have been filling in the roster, the question with Peppers is how much?

Wow kindred spirits, that was exactly what I was thinking. It's especially cool you were able to infer it without me even remotely suggesting it. Impressive sir.
