Peppers won't discuss future (1:55)

   Defensive end Julius Peppers is likely playing his final three games in a Panthers uniform. Just don’t expect him to tell you so.

   Peppers asked to be traded last offseason and begrudgingly returned to play for the one-year, $14 million franchise tender. But it would cost Carolina more than $2 million per game to franchise him next season, and Peppers is unlikely to sign a long-term deal with the Panthers.

   "Right now I'm getting ready to play the Minnesota Vikings," Peppers said. "Everything else is irrelevant and useless to waste time thinking about it."
