[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 600388"] You're getting warm. Regardless of how it shakes out, "problem fixed" is a bit too glib. As for Peppers, I'm more certain he'll be back than any one of the Packer free agents. The ILB position is being overhauled; Matthews is slated to take snaps at that position; there's no other 3-down OLB on the roster other than Peppers and Matthews. Without Peppers it's back to square one regarding the "bookend", and at time two bookends. A hole at edge rusher was the problem that existed before ILB and before safety. You lose Peppers and it becomes another case of whack-a-mole with the defensive repairs. The only alternative is for the Packers would have to go high in the draft for an edge rusher or spend in free agency for one. I don't see how the Packers can do any better than Peppers with the $7 mil in cap savings if he is released. And I forget...how many high picks do the Packers have? Again, lack of depth needs to be considered together with pay-for-performance. [/QUOTE]
