Franchise Players for Whole Sale?

[RealDriscoll]

I am totally confused about today's NFL. Players such as Anquan Boldin, Jay Cutler, and Julius Peppers are franchise players in my books and the fact that they are on the trade block completly baffles me. Anquan Boldin is a leathal threat and a main reason to why the Arizona Cardinals were in the Superbowl. Julius Peppers is among the most dominant defensive players in this league and is still fairly young. Why would you put Peppers on the block. Franchise QB's are as rare as a BJ from your wife after you officially get married and the broncos are dumb enough to piss Jay cutler off and for Matt Cassel? I just don't get it or maybe what i see on Sunday's is altered by the fact that I am usually 15-20 deep but this just doesn't make sense to me. If Julius Peppers can be had for a 2nd rounder why aren't we all over it? Why isn't he already a Dolphins? I am not one for trading draft picks but if we could get peppers and Boldin for our day 1 picks, call me an idiot but I make that move.

1)Cutler... was a Trade "talk" that obviously didnt happen gone bad...
2)Boldin wants to be Traded because he thinks he deserves more money than Fitzgerald.. considering hes had all better years except one.. and Fitz gets the contract
3)Peppers Wants to play in a 3-4 and has wanted out of Carolina for 2 years now, not much they could do about that.. but NE is supposably giving up the 34th pick in the Draft for him.. so i dont think they would take our 45th or w/e our 2nd round pick is.. but hey maybe!

That is 20+ mil in cap right there with Peppers and Boldin. We have some cap room but not that much.

We could however, afford to sign JT and Ken Lucas.

because its a team game... and one player is not worth more than the team... there are more factors to winning than how good your "franchise" player is... ask dan marino...

with some players the price tag, age, attitude, fitting into schemes, etc, can affect their worth to a franchise... and there comes a time when that worth isn't enough anymore and trading them could be best for the team...

The thing about the NFL now is that mostly everything is about the greater good of money.
Thats what almost everything boils down to.

Well you aren't a idiot it's a question of trying to win today VS. trying to have adyasty tomorrow that makes me question that approach...

Peppers isn't the dominate player he once was, maybe it's time for a position shift.

This happens every offseason and once teams ignore their retarted demands and dont trade for them they shut the hell up. Just like Chad Johnson. The guy had uch a quite season no one remembers him.
