Mike North, who I love listening too even though he's a Flatlander, considers this a great move for the Bears --
but I'm optimistic about this rare free-agent move by Ted Thompson....
Yes, Peppers is getting old, but he also lacked motivation last year in Chicago... he won't this year.
I believe Reggie White had one of his best seasons at about that age in 1998. Ditto Charles Haley.
The quarter-of-a-step Peppers has lost will be made up for by the fact that for the first time in his career, he won't be double-teamed much... at least not if Clay Matthews can stay in the lineup.
Don't need 15 sacks from him. Ten, with some forced fumbles, and other guys chipping in, would be a big help.
Here's hoping too that the Packers give him a lot of rest and rotation. Could be just what he needs to have a little spurt here, especially as the Packers seem to be of a mind to run some different looks with him, sew a little confusion again.
At only $3.5 mil on the cap, it's a worthwhile risk to take. Go get 'em Julius -- I've got the link for the Mike North video if you need any extra bulletin board material for offseason conditioning.

at 3.5 mil against the cap, Peppers is a bargain. yah, he took plays off last year on a pitiful Bears that couldn't even win the division with no Aroj and no Clay for Green Bay. Still had 7 1/2 sacks. this year, he'll go 10-12, enjoying single blocking for the first time in his career.
