 As the NFL free agency market opens up on Friday, teams are lining up for the services of one - Julius Peppers.
With an uncapped year coming in 2010, the Redskins are expected, as they do every year, to make a splash in free agency. Much like a fat kid in a candy store, Daniel Snyder is salivating at an opportunity to open his wallet even wider than in previous years.
