Defensive end Julius Peppers has agreed to a one-year deal to re-sign with the Carolina Panthers, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The news was first reported by the Charlotte Observer.
Peppers, 38, signed a one-year deal in 2017 to return to the Carolina Panthers, who drafted him, for what many thought would be his final NFL season. He maxed out the incentives in that deal with 11 sacks, his most since the 2012 season with the Chicago Bears, to earn $4.25 million.
Peppers was selected by Carolina with the second overall pick in the 2002 draft.
