Oct. 19 10:11 AM PT11:11 AM MT12:11 PM CT1:11 PM ET6:11 PM GMT2:11 AM 北京时间-Peppers, a four-time Pro Bowl defensive end, had two sacks for the second straight week and Carolina continued to climb from an 0-3 hole with a 28-21 victory over the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Analysis: "He's just taking over. It's great to see him be as dominant as he is," linebacker Jon Beason said after the defense did its part by keeping the Bucs' offense out of the end zone for the last three quarters.

Jun. 15 1:24 PM PT2:24 PM MT3:24 PM CT4:24 PM ET9:24 PM GMT5:24 AM 北京时间-The deadline for the Panthers to reach a long-term deal with Peppers has passed without an agreement. Analysis: Peppers will now play next season under a one-year deal worth at least $16.7 million. The Panthers had until 4 p.m. Eastern time to sign the four-time Pro Bowl pick to a deal that would secure his long-term future in Carolina and free up salary-cap space this season. Now the two sides can't discuss a new contract until the end of next season, when Carolina will have the option to place the franchise tag on him again.
Jul. 24 11:14 AM PT12:14 PM MT1:14 PM CT2:14 PM ET7:14 PM GMT3:14 AM 北京时间-Peppers' long stalemate with the Carolina Panthers is over. The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end signed his one-year, $16.7 million tender under the franchise tag Wednesday, ending the chances that Peppers could hold out at the start of training camp. Analysis: Peppers said at the end of last season that he wanted to play elsewhere and pleaded with Carolina to allow him to become a free agent. The Panthers still placed the franchise tag on him, limiting his movement. Peppers refused to attend offseason minicamps and optional workouts, and there were concerns he wouldn't show up for training camp. But by signing the deal, the Panthers are likely assured of his attendance when players report Aug. 2.

Analysis: The stalemate extended for the four-time Pro Bowl selection, who wants to play elsewhere. Because the 29-year-old Peppers hasn't signed the one-year, $16.7 million tender, Peppers' agent can negotiate a trade with other teams for less compensation. He would then have to come to the Panthers for approval.
