Julius Peppers 'not sure' if he'll return for 2016

Posted Jan 18, 2016
Could this be it for Julius Peppers? Turning 36 on Monday -- happy birthday, by the way -- Green Bay's veteran pass rusher acknowledged Saturday night that he was "not sure" if he'll return for his 15th NFL season in 2016. "We'll talk about that when it's time," Peppers told reporters after the Packers lost a crushing 26-20 overtime thriller to the Cardinals in the NFC divisional round. (NFL.com)
