The Carolina Panthers have until Feb. 25 to decide whether to place a franchise tag on defensive end Julius Peppers, but multiple observers around the NFL believe they've already made their decision. Pat Kirwan of NFL.com reports that a year ago, it was likely the Panthers would trade Peppers to the New England Patriots after he signed his one-year, franchise-tag contract. The deal never happened, but sources say the Pats, whose inability to consistently pressure the quarterback was their biggest drawback last season, remain very interested in acquiring Peppers.
