Green Bay Packers confirm Julius Peppers signing

Free agent defensive end Julius Peppers signs with the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers have confirmed that they have signed free agent defensive end Julius Peppers.

The 34-year-old was released by the Packers' NFC North rivals the Chicago Bears earlier this week due to his high salary cap number for the 2014 season.

Now, Peppers has signed a reported three-year deal with Mike McCarthy's side worth $30m (£18m).

"That's the most important thing. I haven't won a championship. That's where my focus is. I feel like the team is set up to make a run and I feel I can help get it there," Peppers told the club's official website.

"I have a lot left in the tank. I have a lot left to give, a lot left to offer. I want to show people I can still play the game at a high level."

Peppers has been in the NFL since the 2002 season.
