Reunions in sports are rare when dealing with just one individual, but adding a second player into the equation makes the possibility even less likely.
Despite that, 30-year-old defensive end Charles Johnson has rejoined the Carolina Panthers in free agency and plans to recruit his former teammate, Julius Peppers, to join him.
It may seem like an outrageous idea to sign two pass-rushers over 30 (and one who’s closer to 40) in the same offseason, but the Panthers had success with these two in town for a handful of years nearly a decade ago.
For a team that finished second in the NFL with 47 sacks a year ago, bringing over 200 combined career sacks to town in one offseason could boost an already lethal pass rush.
