Julius Peppers: Let him go, and get draft picks

Posted Jan 18, 2009
Julius Peppers has recorded his first sack of 2009. This time, he smacked down the Carolina Panthers. Saturday’s stunning announcement that he does not want to continue with Carolina continues a shocking run of hard news for a franchise that looked like a Super Bowl contender only weeks ago. The Panthers are now in a startling bind as they need to rebuild their defense, find fresh blood at quarterback and figure out what to do with their best player. (WRAL Sports Fan)
