I said no, I mean Peppers its good, but he is hitting the downside, and he would be asking for a lot of money, also the defense is great, get someone for the OL like Vince Wilfork of the Patriots, there are rumors that he wants to leave NE.
I don't think our defense is great. We have leaky coverage and too many downs with no pressure on the QB.
Do it. Better pull out all the stops next year since there is no cap. If they don't get to the playoffs everyone must go.
well the secondary is bad, but with Mario Williams, Cushing, and Ryans, that line its good. Peppers doesnt give always all his potential. He was a beast before, but not anymore.
Man, 2nd time Ive had to quote you in this thread alone... Peppers had a great year, not sure what you have been following...double digit sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions...He had a better year than Mario. And the season prior, Peppers had 14.5 sacks. I would still call him one of the better DE in football.
Peppers is good no doubt, but once again at the age of 30 do you really want to commit that much money to him. Reminds me of last years Albert Haynesworth free agent situation. I'm not sure if the Texans are willing to commit that much money to Peppers or if he will be able to keep up his current level of play for a few more years guess we'll wait and see.
I say go for it. I want opposing QB's to FEAR our D-line; you can't double team Mario AND Peppers... We have so many great pieces but pretty much no credibility with the rest of the NFL. A move like this would put us in the national spotlight, for sure.
I can't decide. Signing Peppers could take the Texans to another level but he's old enough that giving him a gigantic signing bonus scares me
I would love to have Peppers, but do you really want the would be 3rd highest paid player not even starting (antonio smith)? And as much as I would like Peppers, I think I would rather throw a ton of money at Vince Wilfork to plug the middle.
Nah, he would absolutely take us to the next level, and 30 isn't that old for a DE. We just need more penetration from the DL...other than Mario.
Exactly. How different might this team look like if we had taken Peppers over Carr? I was screaming for that at the time...
If we're spending any big money in free agency, it needs to be on a DT. And maybe a safety, if one is available that is better than what we have.
I've heard on the local sports channels that the Texans would be open to moving him to DT if they could find a DE, and McClain even speculated that they could have him at DT next season with Barwin at DE.
I'd take him in a heartbeat. Even at his age, he's a physical freak. Pass rushing will be a premium, especially considering Houston's inability to hold on to leads against teams late in games, particularly, the Colts.
