Impending free-agent LB Julius Peppers could be an option to return to the Carolina Panthers, where he spent the first eight years of his career, according to the Charlotte Observer’s Scott Fowler.

Entering his age-37 season, Peppers has to be considering retirement. However, if he wants to keep playing then going back to Carolina makes sense. We’ll see if he’d sign a team-friendly deal to go back where it all started.
