Peppers to visit with Bears first ... and then others?
Free-agent defensive end Julius Peppers will visit with the Chicago Bears on Friday, according to Vaughn McClure and Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times.
"It's a good sign that the Bears are getting the first visit," [Peppers' agent Carl] Carey said.
According to Jason La Canfora of NFL.com, however, Carey said there are two other possibilities.
“Of the teams that have called us, there are two other possibilities that could be worth visiting,” Carey said. “When the Bears called, they said enough to entice us to get on a plane to Chicago. Beyond that, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Regardless of the landing spot for Peppers, he will command a huge payday. While there is no denying his ability, many question his effort and consistency.
Peppers has 81 career sacks in his eight-year career. He followed up a career-low 2.5 sacks in 2007 with a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2008.
