Just as many have expected, the Chicago Bears are the very team who picked free agent defensive end Julius Peppers from the free-agent market. They really made fast decision and signed a six-year deal worth potentially $91.5 million with Peppers on the first day of free agency.
According to agent Carl Carey, the five-time Pro Bowl defensive end was offered a record $42 million of guaranteed money and $20 million of salary for his first year in Bears jersey. The deal includes incentives for sacks, making the Pro Bowl and winning Defensive Player of the Year.
Seemingly with the determination to contend for the NFC title after missing the playoffs the past three years, the Bears were also reported to have lured running back Chester Taylor from NFC North champion the Minnesota Vikings with a four-year contract and tight end Brandon Manumaleuna from the San Diego Chargers with a five-year contract.
