    There's one big fish to keep an eye on - Julius Peppers. Remember, the Patriots sniffed around Moss for quite some time before trading for him, so last year's rumblings about Peppers could've been a precursor to a real run at him. Peppers is almost certain to become a free agent, since the Panthers would have to tender him an offer of more than $20 million to franchise him for a second straight year.

    I hear that guy Richard Seymour was pretty good.

    Seymour was a 3-4 DE. Peppers would play OLB if he went to the Patriots

    peppers to the pats has been rumored forever. it may end up happening eventually but they're kind of catching him on the downward curve of his career (ala Jason Taylor to the Redskins) so i don't see what the big deal is .................. he would be a good contributor but he's not the defensive MVP anymore like he once was.

    peppers is 6 foot 7 and 283 pounds, he's more of a end in a 3-4 not a linebacker, what linebacker do you remember that was that size?
