Extra! Extra!! Read All About It! Packers Sign Free Agent, From Another Team!!! Welcome Julius Peppers!

It happened!  All those fans dying to get a player from another team - Julius Peppers!!

And the deal seams great!  3 years, max of $30 million, $7.5 million guaranteed.  The structure only puts $3.5 million on this year salary cap!  First, what did we get?

Julius Peppers - Panthers(8 years) - Bears(4 years) - and now Packers!
Height - 6'6" - Weight -  283 pounds
119 career sacks
2002 Rookie of the Year!
8 Pro Bowls
3 First Team All Pro

The bad news?  He is 34.  Hope he has some gas left in the tank!

What we hope for?

1 - Pressure the QB.  Help Matthews from the other side!

2 - Young Packer linemen - watch - listen - and learn!

3 - Fresh Blood - I think it is a GOOD thing to have someone from another team!

$17 million left to spend, what is next?
