Packers still counting on 36-year-old Julius Peppers to produce
Posted Aug 11, 2016
No matter what the plan is for Julius Peppers this season, the expectations aren't changing for the oldest player on the Green Bay Packers roster. "It's not like we're going to put him out to pasture," general manager Ted Thompson said Wednesday. Peppers is beginning his 15th NFL season; whether this will be the final one for the 36-year-old defensive stalwart isn't known.
