Kill the fatted calf.
All hail Julius.
At age 37, the prodigal son is coming home.
Time to dig out that Julius Peppers jersey deep in your closet or else go find one at Goodwill for $5. The leading pass rusher in Carolina Panthers history is returning to the team he left rather messily seven years ago, and all will be forgiven if the man will just produce 10 sacks.
I like this move, both for its symmetry and its substance.
Although Peppers is at the age that some players sign one-day contracts with a former team for nostalgia’s sake before retiring, this defensive end can still play.
