Free Agents of Evil

Julius Peppers deserves to have him arm ripped off and be beaten with it.  With the Philadelphia Beagles on his "short list," one can only hope he is truly committed to being the kind of deplorable human being that would do the Eagles proud and win an award for character in the style of Michael Vick.  (who according to reports will not be traded at least until after the preseason.) 

Other top name prospects include Ladanian Tomlinson (over 30 and prone to air the dirty laundry of the ball club) and Brian Westbrook, who went from the number 3 fantasy pick last year to a non-factor in the 2009 season.  Both players would be huge assets to struggling teams such as Kansas City, Buffalo, Detroit, or Seattle.  Whether big name players used to the playoffs would go to these teams is another story.  Also, would they be willing to be part of the trendy tandem-back offense of a place such as Washington or New York (Giants) after having been the brightest star in the galaxy for so long?  One thing's for sure:  I'd hate to be the number one fantasy pick next year.
