Peppers wants to avoid franchise tag
Peppers hopes to avoid franchise tag
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Julius Peppers was polite, insistent that he has no problems with his coaches and stressed that North Carolina will always be his home.
The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end just doesn’t want to play for Carolina anymore — and hopes the Panthers grant the impending free agent his wish by not placing the franchise tag on him.
“If they decide to use the tag on me, the first thing that I’ll be doing is requesting a trade,” Peppers said Saturday. “Then anything after, basically I don’t know what would be the course of action. We’ll deal with that when that time comes.”
