Dear Bill

Julius Peppers busts pretty hard; he had 14.5 sacks last season, and for his career he's averaged around 10 sacks per season. He's only 29 years old--which is generally an athlete's peak age--and probably has three to six top-notch seasons left in the tank.
Matt Cassell busts pretty hard as well. He showed last season that he's Michael Vick and Tom Brady's love child--he's the only player to throw for 400 yards and rush for 60 in one game.

Peppers's contract is up, and he's informed the earth that he will request a trade if the Panthers place the franchise tag on him. The Patriots have already placed the tag on Cassell, whom they've been actively shopping since like Week 3. The Panthers need a QB because Jake Delhomme, Mike's boyfriend, sucks at playing quarterback and single-handedly turned the Cardinals into a Cinderella story this postseason. The Patriots need a versatile, young pass rusher off the edge, because their pass rush this season made me want to kill myself. Do you see where I'm going with this?
Cassell for Peppers straight up. Do it Bill. Do it. Pop the trunk. Do it.
