CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman doesn’t believe in windows of opportunity when it comes to winning a Super Bowl.
His 2017 free-agent signings suggest otherwise.
The Panthers on Friday agreed to terms with 37-year-old defensive end Julius Peppers and signed safety Mike Adams, who soon will turn 36.
That gives them 11 players who are 30 or older, with running back Jonathan Stewart and recently re-signed defensive end Mario Addison set to turn 30 this season.
