[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 605421"] If Peppers retires after 2015, the Packers will have a $2.5 mil dead cap number in 2016 as a hangover from the signing bonus. If he plays in 2016 under this contract, he'll count $10.5 mil against the cap; his retirement would yield an $8 mil cap savings. He'll be 36 years old at the start of the 2016 season; on the other hand he's a freak of nature, so when the decline occurs is particularly hard to predict. [URL]http://overthecap.com/player/julius-peppers/135/[/URL] It's fairly common for even the most highly regarded edge rusher draftees to be limited to situational work as rookies. That's particularly an issue with 3-4 OLBs, as opposed to 4-3 DEs, because the 3-4 guys have to learn to play what's behind them and not just in front of them. With the point of Peppers decline hard to predict, Perry and Neal becoming free agents after 2015, and the term of Matthews work at ILB uncertain, I'd not be surprised to see an edge rusher taken in the first 3 rounds, perhaps as high as the 1st. round. Please, no more 4-3 DE conversions need apply. [/QUOTE]
