    You brought up the Julius Peppers the deal and you talked about the difference in that. Matt Cassel had already signed that under the what might have been. Timing situation for you he signed Peppers is not sign. The franchise

Came on the radio station and said there is a 99 point 9% chance. Peppers would not be a member of the Patriots in the upcoming year. Joining us on the line right now is a guy who covers the Carolina Panthers and -- at the opportunity. Seed Julius Peppers play on a consistent basis.

The bat well they in changed dramatically now the Patriots are there at the -- Philadelphia. Audits and kings that Al and about. Draft ammunition. At least make it interest. But I just just not sure that there's going to be a scenario where that I don't question that the Patriots would like to get a bargain deal. For Julius Peppers that I felt but the Packers which kept understand it's not a deal even like that Matt Cassel -- Where the Patriots

    Schefter tells John and Gerry that Julius Peppers will NOT be a Patriot this coming season

    julius peppers found at 1:03, 2:52, 4:02

    all they want you and we go to bed rest the morning. Julius Peppers will not be an -- Patriots -- And it will happen for all the reasons that you mentioned. Partly because of the pending contract situations of those other Patriot players partly because. New England would have to invest enormous sum of money in Julius Peppers . Part because it would take like habitation because of that I know the word on the street is let him go this second round pick that. Think that they got from Matt Cassel the 34 overall selection in -- that would seem to make sense but. There a couple of technicalities to point out first and foremost. The Carolina Panthers. Right now are not allowed. To trade Julius Peppers because he hit -- this franchise tender. When Matt Cassell signed his franchise tender. That gave the Patriots the right. To trade
    enormous sum of money that you're going to have to invest in Julius Peppers for starters you're going to talk about a deal that. Basically changes the dynamics of the salary short short in the locker room. When you've got pending deals coming up with Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork. You're talking about a deal that. I think Woodson Julius Peppers . Is a great player but when he talked people -- believe -- he flashes it is always come through when it matters
    How assure you that Julius Peppers is not going to play the Patriots next year. 99 point 9% short while while.

    players they do a great job anyway. I'm I'm not sure. I Julius Peppers . Had a tremendous wonderfully scored. And does that mean you can't play football obviously look at his numbers guy at four and
    free agency and they haven't gone after the Albert Haynes worth the Julius Peppers would be -- category. Not the Fred -- nodding a terrific player. Great signing in Joey Galloway. You know Leigh Bodden . They they've. They're presenting teacher Sanders yeah Williams. You know I think for many Patriots fans. And and especially those. Who just work who have been looking for some reason why ballot checked it -- yet because what he did was wrong. And and -- Jerry's mind especially somehow this would justify. The trade of Cassell and Vrabel Kansas City for the second round pick in you know if -- and -- second round pick for Julius Peppers . I I think at times because Belichick is so smart and he has. We have a tendency to give him like supernatural

I don't know I mean our there's so much a vote as four different innings it just depends on the pol so to say something. Different it's really different just very good position paper and the different but the net to close in deep -- decent. Can't just it is very well -- things that is -- or just terminology is different.

Do you pay attention to sex -- is an important stat you -- last year you had double digit sacks. Right now on that pace right now but is that is that a a big deal to you.

went out. -- numbers going to be. -- amount of mistress. -- collectors and it was an accident in my lap record while Jannero while -- you know.
