Don't touch Peppers?
Multiple league sources tell the Boston Globe that they wouldnโt go near free-agent DE Julius Peppers on the open market this offseason. According the sources, for the amount of money heโs going to command, he is much too risky considering his inconsistency and questionable desire to play football.
โI wouldnโt touch him, for that money and what he gives you,โโ said an ex-Panthers personnel man. โOn the field, heโs a freak athletically, but itโs whether he shows up or not. Heโll go two and three games and do nothing but take up space. Then heโll have two sacks, a forced fumble, a pick, and change the game. And thatโs the danger. He can mesmerize you, but itโs not consistent.โโ

โHe could end up costing some personnel guy his job,โโ said an AFC scout with extensive experience evaluating Peppers. โIโm terrified of him. In my heart of hearts, I believe that if you pay this guy, I donโt think youโll see a double-digit sack [season] again the rest of his career.โโ
Even his former teammate, Brenton Buckner, talked to the Globe about Peppersโ passion for the game.
โFootballโs come so easy to him,โโ said Buckner. โDoes he love it the way Steve Smith or Bryant Young or Jerry Rice love it? I donโt think so. But heโs got so much God-given ability that, even without loving it, heโs a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro with 81 sacks in eight years.
โYou do think, โMan, a guy with that much ability, imagine if he did love it.โ โโ
Peppers has freakish talents, but we wouldnโt want to be the GM giving this guy $30 million guaranteed.
