A press conference announcing the signings of Peppers, Taylor and tight end Brandon Manumaleuna is expected to be held at Halas Hall later this afternoon.
The source said that although the Patriots and Eagles have also made offers for Peppers, the deal the Bears are offering is worth millions more per season and it would be a huge upset if Peppers left Halas Hall, where he is visiting today, without signing what is expected to be a six-year contract with approximately $12 million per year with the first three years guaranteed.
The source said the Eagles and Pats are offering deals that are closer to $10 million per year.

The five-time Pro Bowl defensive end and top free agent prize agreed Friday to a six-year deal worth potentially $91.5 million.
Agent Carl Carey said a record $42 million is guaranteed, with Peppers earning $20 million in the first year and $40.5 million over the first three. The deal includes incentives for sacks, making the Pro Bowl and winning Defensive Player of the Year.

What? No incentive for NOT BECOMING INVISIBLE 6 or 7 games each season.
Of course the guy has missed very few games in his career! He has only really played hard in half of them.
The Birds really need another pass rushing DE to bookend with Cole, but I suspect we'd have gotten very 'flustrated' with Peppers notoriously inconsistent effort.
Gee I wonder if any of the coaches in CHI will be fired if they don't make the playoffs this year? Lovies going in all in to save his ass. That was just an insane amount of guranteed money for this guy.

smart move on Lovie's part if he was pushing for it. It's not his money. And if he doesn't go deep in the playoffs, he's fucked anyway.
