Peppers was disgruntled and asked to be traded after being franchised by the team, and it appears he will get his wish.  The Patriots need a contingency plan for defensive ends Richard Seymour and Ty Warren who both become free agents after this season.  Peppers will likely be listed as an outside linebacker but will have his hand on the ground quite often in the Patriots hybrid 3-4 system.

The Carolina Panthers cut ties with cornerback Ken Lucas who spent the last four seasons with the Panthers starting all but one of his games with the team.

The Cleveland Browns continued their purge by releasing 34 year old wide receiver Joe Jurevicius, a Cleveland native who battled through injuries each of the last two seasons.
