"Hints Dropped" by Kubiak - Is there a MegaBUXXX Signing on the Way?

[Keith]

Yeah, I'll be up late for sure.

Thanks to BattleRedBlog.com for joining me in fantasy-time on Julius Peppers. A sister site of theirs, catscratchreader.com, reacts to the posting here.

The writer's thoughts:

I admit my postulation that Julius Peppers might end up in Miami was a shear guess based on little information. Yet the Dolphin fans quickly pointed out that such a trade is not a Bill Parcels type of move. The subsequent analysis focused on the Eagles as a potential landing place was not based on much more. ...

The fact Peppers is familiar with and likes Houston makes sense. Ever since Peppers off-season revelation that he wants to leave I've had the impression that he already had an idea of where he wanted to go. Why would he be so adamant about leaving when he doesn't know if it's a better situation for him (or does he?) With his agent located in Houston you would imagine he has a close relationship with the Texans ownership (though I'm not suggesting tampering, but some might...). Again, this postulation makes more sense than anything I've read or heard to date.

Especially with word that the Texans might be interested in Antonio Smith, a pursuit of Peppers seems and remains pretty unlikely, but still fun to think about nonetheless.

Oh, and both sites are running polls on whether a trade for Peppers including the Texans' 1st, 3rd, and 6th rounders would be worthwhile. The results? As of this posting, on the Panthers site, 80% would take the picks. On BRB, 61% wouldn't make the trade.
