Peppers to Seattle?

Report: Seahawks could be making a big push for Peppers Posted by Mike Florio on March 4, 2010 5:05 PM ET There's a fairly strong theory in league circles that the Redskins won't be pursuing defensive end Julius Peppers but that, if they wanted him, they'd get him. So that leaves the Bears as the front-runners for his services, right? Maybe not. In today's PFT Daily, we suggested generally that, when it comes to big spending, don't rule out the Seahawks, where owner Paul Allen's Microsoft money has been married up with Pete Carroll's Trojan charisma. Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Seahawks could be the "favorite" to land Peppers. It's not clear whether Jensen is reporting an actual link between the Seahawks and Peppers, or whether he's speculating that the Seahawks could be in play for Peppers. Either way, we're keeping a fluorescent lime-green eye on the Seahawks

This would be good news though for Spiller fans, lol, cause it'll increase San Fran's chances of getting Spiller at #17, cause Seattle will most definitely deal away their second 1st round pick (in the deal), then spending their first on either an o-linemen or QB in the draft.

I thought Peppers was a FA, meaning they wouldn't need to trade anything

Ok, now I highly doubt this happens. Peppers has stated thoroughly that if it was within his decision/freedom to decide (which he has now), he would take even a mediocre offer from an NFC/AFC Championship-talented team cause he wants a ring before he enters the twilight of his career.

It would make no sense for Peppers to want to accept 'retirement' offers from 2 rebuilding teams like Chicago and Seattle when he was in such a dire need to get away from Carolina's sinking s**t ship in the rising NFC South.
