Peppers, 38, is a former first-round pick of the Panthers back in 2002. He played eight seasons for the Panthers before joining the Bears in 2010.
Peppers spent three years with the Packers before returning to the Panthers last year. He re-signed with Carolina this offseason and agreed to a one-year deal worth $5 million.
