I'm guilty of it as well, i just think he constitutes too high of a risk, not only of not performing himself, but the demoralizing effect it would have on the team - to bring in a free agent, pay him haynesworth money, and then watch him act like he doesn't care about football. he could get away with that to a certain degree in carolina because he was a home-grown draft pick, a "true" panther - but i think the team moral problems would be amplified significantly if peppers comes in as a free agent, makes a ton of money, and then doesnt put forth the effort to show he's worth it.
