[Panthers] Julius Peppers To Be The NFL's Highest-Paid Defender?

Over the next three weeks, the Panthers will look to sign Julius Peppers to long-term contract, a move that would free up some much-needed salary cap room. However, that would likely mean the Panthers having to make Peppers the highest-paid defensive player in the league and giving him a contract that exceeds the $15 million per year the Oakland Raiders paid to cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and/or the $100 million contract the Washington Redskins gave to defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.

I wonder how big demarcus wares contract will be if peppers gets that huge of a deal.

Espically considering. Ware is still on the upswing and Peppers is easily on the downslide. I don't like this at all for Carolina.

He was best, when he was chasing Vick, I mean that was a pretty exciting time in football the Vick Vs Pepper matchup. And he used to be able to do it all, he would make interceptions and was easily one of the most exciting players in football. But now he's older and I don't see him returning to those days where he had such a huge impact on games. Carolina have some pretty good young ends on their roster, they should just let Peppers walk after this season.
