I’d like to see Julius Peppers in Green Bay
I’d really like to see Julius Peppers playing for the Green Bay Packers, but I just don’t think Ted Thompson would ever pull off a deal like that. Kampman and Peppers rushing from the OLB positions sound pretty good to me. The Packers could trade #9 overall for Peppers, and maybe pickup another pick from Carolina….say a 3rd or 4th…..OR…they could trade Kampman and a 3rd or 4th round pick. I personally have my doubts about Kampman playing OLB in a 3-4 system, and Peppers clearly wants out of Carolina to play in a 3-4 system.
At some point, TT is going to have to take a chance on free agency, a trade, or moving up in the draft. I think it’s no coicidence that arguably two of the best Packers ever, Reggie White and Brett Favre, weren’t actually drafted by the Packers. Ron Wolf built through the draft, but he also took some chances, which seemed to pan out, and was the reason why he was so good at his job.
It’s plain and simple for Ted Thompson. One more losing season, and you’re fired!
