This only makes sense... for a team with Super Bowl aspirations... keeping him fresh for the long haul and him having more in the tank at the end only makes sense.

Other than Daniels, our in the box impact players windows are closing rapidly... Peppers is near the end.. and Matthews is quickly approaching the decline. I think this has been the biggest area of struggle for Captain Ted to stock... finding studs to filling it with quality depth. The scouting department or the coaching staff have failed to make this a area of strength.

I wouldn't say this has anything to do with Peppers as much as it has to do with other players improving. No secret that rotation along the front has always been the desire and as more players become good enough to earn time. for those who played the defensive front, he was 3rd in snaps.
