Julius Peppers: Agrees with Packers

Peppers, who was released by the Bears on Tuesday, agreed to a three-year contract with the Packers on Saturday, ESPN's Josina Anderson reports. The deal will pay Peppers a maximum of $30 million, with $7.5 million guaranteed.

Analysis:

Peppers had four fairly productive years in Chicago, registering 37.5 sacks, while averaging 43.8 tackles per season. He isn't the dominant pass rusher that he once was, but he's still able to get into the backfield, and could get more opportunities in Green Bay thanks to guys like Clay Matthews, Mike Daniels and A.J. Hawk also getting after the quarterback.
