The Green Bay Packers in 2014 got exactly the player they thought they were getting when they signed Julius Peppers as a free agent.
He was a difference maker, maybe the second-best player on their defense, behind Clay Matthews. Peppers' sacks total (seven) doesn't necessarily reflect that, but according to Pro Football Focus, his 50 combined sacks, hits and hurries did. That's the same number Matthews' put up as a pass rusher.
