Wow talk about being careful what you wish for. Here, Julius Peppers gets an amazing offer from the Panthers who, with their new highly skilled Quarterback, could actually be a front runner for the Super Bowl next year, and he declines!

And now it is reported that he is about to reach a deal with the Washington Redskins who have just as horrible of an offense as the Panthers had last year. The Redskins just last year signed Albert Haynesworth to, what was reported, the biggest contract by defensive lineman, ever! (over 100 Million).

If the Skins really do make this deal, they sure better have fixed their defensive line to the point that the opposing QB has no time at all to throw the ball and the running backs have no holes to run through because that's a lot of money to dish out to two d-lineman.

Washington, last year, had a pretty decent defense. They need more help on offense. And I do, in my mock draft (http://footballforall.createaforum.com/joe%27s-mock-draft/joe%27s-mock-draft/), have them taking Sam Bradford, but they also need help at wide receiver and running back. Clinton Portis can't carry the entire load, they just released Cartwright, Gainther had a few good games, but who else do they have if Portis get injured or doesn't return to his previous form?

Julius Peppers is like a Randy Moss type player. He'll play extremely hard for you when the team is winning. But he disappears when you are not. Or maybe he was just sick of being in Carolina.
 
Regardless, Peppers could definitely find a better place to go and I'm sure there are PLENTY of teams on the Super Bowl hump that will give him a shot; even if the fire isn't there anymore.
