Packers' Julius Peppers: To continue career

Peppers intends to return for a 16th season in 2017, ESPN's Rob Demovsky and Vaughn McClure report.

Analysis:

Peppers is set to become a free agent after playing out his three-year contract with the Packers. During that span, Peppers posted 25 sacks, including 7.5 this past season, moving him into fifth all-time in career sacks (143.5). At 37 years old, Peppers has transitioned into a situational player focused on rushing the passer, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of interest he receives on the open market this week.
