Julius Peppers no longer wants a long-term contract with Carolina, saying the Panthers have ignored him this offseason.
Peppers had a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2008, then said he wanted to play elsewhere. But the team placed the franchise tag on Peppers, limiting his options in free agency.
Peppers played the 2009 season under a one-year tender worth an NFL-high $16.7 million. After recording 10.5 sacks, Peppers made the Pro Bowl.
In an interview aired yesterday morning on Charlotte radio station WFNZ-AM, the five-time Pro Bowl defensive end indicated he’s irritated by the team’s “silence” and has changed his stance on whether he wants to continue his career in Carolina.
“Last year, at the time, that was the option that I wanted most,” Peppers said. “Now it’s not. How can you say you want to be somewhere when you’re not really sure if they want you there because they’re not even talking to you?” |
