| Panthers DE Julius Peppers Doesn't Rule Out Returning? | | | During a taped interview aired Tuesday morning on Charlotte sports radio station WFNZ (610-AM), defensive end Julius Peppers said there was a time last year when signing a long-term extension with the Panthers was the option he most wanted, but "now it's not." "Because of the lack of communication that they've had with us, you know, if somebody asked me do I want to stay in Carolina and play for the Panthers next year, it's like, OK, well, how can you say you want to be somewhere when you're not really sure if they want you here because they're not even talking to you?" Peppers told morning talk show host Chris McClain. But Peppers didn't rule out a return to Carolina, especially under the franchise tag and tender. He was noncommittal when asked what he wants to happen. "To be honest with you, I really don't have a preference," he said. "I'm in a great position. These are options I'm fine with either way they go. If I have to play under the tender, that's fine. Whatever the other two options are, I'm fine with whatever happens."
