Story from the Charlotte Observer: 

Right here in Charlotte, there’s a veteran NFL defensive end potentially capable of helping the Carolina Panthers’ pass rush after Julius Peppers’ departure via free agency.

Leonard Little, an Asheville native who spent the previous 12 years with the St. Louis Rams, is an unrestricted free agent who says he’d definitely listen if the Panthers approached him. However, he said he first must decide whether he wants to continue playing football.

“I think I would need some time” to decide, said Little, 35. “Right now, I’m not in a rush. I’m not even thinking about football right now. I’m enjoying being a parent, a brother, whatever. I don’t know what the timetable will be.”
