What would you give for Peppers?

It's like people that think Mario is an ill fit for the 3-4 when it is to the contrary. Players like Peppers and Mario are ideal fits for the 3-4 DE; they're big, athletic ends who can play the run, tie up blockers, and rush the passer. They might not put up the sexy numbers they would in the 4-3, but it would be the best utilization of their skills.

I seen that and was surprised.

This should not even be mentioned. Peppers will not land here in Houston. If he does then I'll be extremely disappointed because we will likely lose draft picks or pay him a ridiculous contract. That will set the franchise back in salary cap finances as well as building through draft picks in the future.

I would love to see Peppers here. Him and Mario teamed up would be ridiculous. He's already turned down a contract that would make him the highest payed defensive player in the league. It would be fun, but what's going to happen in a couple of years when Mario needs a new deal? I don't want to lose any picks, but for a guy like Peppers who is still relatively young I could stand to lose a pick or two, depending on the package of course. I just worry about it from a salary cap standpoint. I'm sure we could make it work, but it could hurt us in being able to hold on to our young talent when they need a new contract.

He also seems to think he needs to go to a new system to reach his full potential. Apparently he's intrigued by the idea of playing in a 3-4 system.
