The Packers really like what they have with Neal and Jones, too. I don't see how or why they would change that but then leave something as valuable as OLB depth empty when they have a guy like Peppers on the team.

Here you go.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel suggests Julius Peppers' "elephant" role will consist of lining up at end in Green Bay's base defense, rushing from the interior in sub-packages, and mixing in snaps at outside linebacker.
We've slotted Peppers at end on our depth charts because we think he'll play there the most. Clay Matthews and Nick Perry still figure to be the primary outside linebackers, with Peppers and Datone Jones at end, and B.J. Raji at nose tackle. Mike Neal, Mike Daniels, and Jerel Worthy will be the top front-seven reserves. Talent can no longer be coordinator Dom Capers' excuse on defense. Mar 26 - 7:13 AM

It's speculative but I would tend to agree with what they're saying given the fact that Peppers is now old and I don't think he'll have the ability to stand up and dominate at OLB at this stage of his career.
