Five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers agreed to a six-year deal with the Bears, the team announced on Friday.
Although Chicago did not release details of the contract, NFL Network's Michael Lombardi -- who reported the news earlier in the day -- outlines the deal being worth $79.8 million, according to a league source.

The contract guarantees Peppers $40 million in the first three years. Agent Carl Carey didn't return messages from The Associated Press, and the Bears declined comment before a 6 p.m. ET news conference.
The Bears also landed running back Chester Taylor from NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings. NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reported that Taylor agreed to a four-year contract worth $12.5 million with $7 million guaranteed, according to a league source.
Taylor, who backed up All-Pro Adrian Peterson in Minnesota, will challenge Matt Forte for time in the Bears' backfield after Chicago's hallmark power running game slipped last season.
Chicago also has signed tight end Brandon Manumaleuna to a five-year contract. Manumaleuna began his career in St. Louis (2001-2005), playing for Mike Martz, who is now the Bears’ offensive coordinator.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
