well, then, your belief is wrong
Brandon told Peters in january before the draft, he would not get a new contract.
Peters promptly disappeared.
Brandon is either stupid or arrogant to think that hardball tactics with Peters would not turn out badly.
Any savvy GM would have gotten some leverage (another option at LT) to play hardball. Instead the Bills pass on 2 stud OTs Albert and Clady, and take a situational DB who still has not made an impact at CB after 2 years.
This year Brandon compounds the madness by going into the season with an injured 7th round scrub who has never played a down as his only LT.
It looks more like he was purposely trying to sabotage the team, than trying to build a contender
