"Julius Peppers' long stalemate with the Carolina Panthers is over. The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end signed his one-year, $16.7 million tender under the franchise tag Wednesday, ending the chances that Peppers could hold out at the start of training camp (Sportsline)."
Peppers demanded to be traded, and the Panthers entertained offers, but were not able to move him. Instead of letting this bleed into the start of camp the Panthers have given up a lot of money so that Peppers will be "happy" for the upcoming season. I still think they will be looking to move him, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to keep Peppers, especially if he is in a "contract year".
