[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 666151"] There are a lot of factors that come into play, so it's too early to call. I would not rule out Peppers coming back as some would have it. While he'll be 37 in 2017, he hasn't shown any fall off in the last 2 years, and he fits the profile of some other Hall of Fame guys who were productive up to that age, Reggie White and Bruce Smith to name a couple. He'll have to want to come back. It will have to be a 1 year deal for a relatively modest amount. And then there's that often unappreciated factor..."who else ya got?" We'll have to see if the rotational OLBs show enough this season to make Peppers expendable. Expecting to find an immediately productive 3-4 OLB in the 2017 draft from a low first round position who can step in and play 3 downs is asking a bit much. [/QUOTE]
