Fan Debate: Carolina Panthers Fans want MORE for DE Julius Peppers

...ATTENTION...

I just wanted to apologize to anyone who read the Carolina Panthers Fans post in the comments section. Behavior like that will NOT be tolerated on this site. I expect anyone and everyone who comments on this site to at the very least treat people your responding to with the respect they deserve. You can cut people down in a joking manner, but don't curse at folks for voicing their opinions. That's all I wanted to say, again I apologize for that fans actions...

So I know I said I was sick of "Trade Talk", but I didnt say anything about good-spirited fan-base to fan-base trade talk. Over the past couple weeks I've discussed the Bucs potential to Trade for the Carolina Panthers DE Julius Peppers who is rumored to be on the trading block...

I polled fellow Bucs Fans on whether they would be interested in trading for Peppers and an overwhelming majority said YES!, trade for Julius... and so I made a trade offer to Jaxon over at Cat Scratch Reader, our Carolina Panthers Blog. The offer was as follows:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2008 1st round draft pick (#20) and the Buc's 2009 3rd round draft pick.

The majority of that fan base either wanted more in return (41%) or wanted no part of trading Peppers period (47%)...

My question to you is, Should we up the ante for DE Julius Peppers? To be honest, I was thinking about counter-offering with our '08 2nd Round Draft Pick and MLB Barrett Ruud... I know Ruud led the team in tackles, is young, and embodies what a Bucs player is all about, but we've got to give to get.. Should we continue negotiations or what?
