Disgruntled Peppers Skips Carolina's Minicamp
Oct 31, 2014 1:29 PM
Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers was the only player absent for the team's three-day minicamp on Friday.
Peppers requested a trade when the team placed their franchise tag on him earlier this offseason.
"It's kind of what I expected. He hasn't signed his tender yet," coach John Fox said. "I know he's working out. He'll be in great shape."
Peppers has a standing franchise tender that is worth more than $16 million.
"It's business. It doesn't make him a bad person. When he's ready to come in he'll be here," defensive tackle Damione Lewis said.
