Well, simply put, the New England Patriots needs Julius Peppers because they have no pass rush.   Burgess was a joke, he had something like 5 sacks, many of those coming late in the season.  Where was he the rest of the season.  They brought this guy in as a PASS RUSHING SPECIALIST, yet he did NONE of that.  That’s fantastic.  Back to the point at hand here.  Julius Peppers is a premier defensive end.  He is (was, if he doesn’t sign a new contract) for Carolina what Richard Seymour pre-2006 was for the Patriots:  the guy you know will find a way to get pressure on the quarterback, and get you big play sacks in big games.  The Pats should do all they can to sign this guy.
