Peppers' Problems with Panthers Could Be Good News for Patriots

Posted Jul 21, 2009
Since last season ended, New England has been tossed around as a very legitimate landing spot for the defensive end. But when Julius Peppers and the Panthers agreed to a one-year deal back on June 24, it looked like he would quickly parlay that into a long-term deal as New Englanders' dreams of seeing Peppers on the Patriots were dashed. Now it is once again a possibility that Peppers could be on the move. Why not to the Patriots? (NESN)
