ForceEight Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- After spending his entire life in North Carolina, Julius Peppers wants out. The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end has decided he won't sign a long-term deal with the Carolina Panthers when he becomes an unrestricted free agent on Feb. 26. Peppers, who grew up in tiny Bailey, N.C., starred in college at North Carolina and was the Panthers' first-round draft pick in 2002, believes Carolina's defensive system isn't for him -- even after recording a career-high 14.5 sacks this season. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearSrai Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Peppers is going to be a big-time free agent... And command a ridiculous salary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinmaniac52 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You don't think they will tag him? Would like to watch him play every sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yagersports Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Peppers would be a huge addition to this team, he would allow us to get consistent pressure without the blitz. That would enable us to drop an extra man or two into coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
