"The deadline for the Carolina Panthers to strike a long-term deal with franchise defensive end Julius Peppers passed Wednesday without an agreement. Peppers will now play under a one-year contract worth at least $16.7 million, creating the prospect for another offseason of uncertainty next year (Sportsline)."
Damn that is a lot of money for 1 player. Peppers wanted out of Carolina, but with a pay day like that I don't think he minds sticking around for another year. Peppers, when motivated, is one of the best players in the NFL, but he can disappear at times and I would worry about signing him long term (even though he is one of my favorite players from his days at UNC). It will be interesting to see where he will end up after this season, but at least now Carolina can focus on their season instead of trying to trade/sign Peppers...
