DMN Blog: Julius Peppers wants to play for the Cowboys

The Rock Hill (S.C.) Herald reports (via Pro Football Talk) that Julius Peppers has a list of four teams to which he would accept a trade if the Panthers put the franchise tag on him.

The only team named in the report? The Cowboys, of course.

Feel free to dream about Peppers, who has made it clear that he wants out of Carolina and would prefer to move to OLB in a 3-4, wreaking havoc on the opposite side of DeMarcus Ware.

Just don't hold your breath for it to happen. With no first-round pick, it'd be difficult for the Cowboys to put together a reasonable trade proposal. With the plan to make Ware one of the highest paid defensive players in the game, it'd be difficult to create cap space to give Peppers that kind of deal, too.
