The agent for Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers is convinced that his client will play elsewhere next season. Carl Carey said Sunday night the Panthers have "not made a single inquiry this offseason" regarding Peppers, who will be an unrestricted free agent. "And we don't expect to hear from them," Carey told The Associated Press in a phone interview. League sources confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the Panthers and Peppers have not engaged in any talks about a long-term contract extension.
