Packers think there's more left in Julius Peppers' tank

Posted Jun 4, 2015

The Green Bay Packers liked what Julius Peppers did last season at age 34, and they're banking on him being just as productive -- if not more so -- at age 35. It's why they brought him back for a second season despite an $8.5 million salary and another $1 million in bonuses. (ESPN.com)
