Julius Peppers sticks with game of tag

Posted Jul 19, 2009
By declining to sign a contract with the Carolina Panthers by Wednesday’s 4 p.m. deadline, Julius Peppers becomes the world’s highest paid temp. Bound to the Panthers for one season, he’ll make $16.683 million (before bonuses), more than $1 million a game. This is the rare deal that doesn’t satisfy either party. Peppers doesn’t want to be a Panther. If he did, he would have signed a contract last season or last month or Wednesday. (Boston Herald)
