Football contracts are meaningless. You get that big money upfront and that is it, I can see why Peters wants it, who doesn't? Does he deserve it? He might, but I believe that he no longer has the fire that made him a good left tackle, if he did he would have should up last year with a chip on both shoulders and carried Beast to the house, or sat out the entire season or until he got what he wanted in terms of money. Coming in at the eleventh hour so he doesn't miss a meal showed he really doesn't have the stomach for big stakes poker games. Parker is playing chicken with house money, what does he have to lose? Peters on the other hand has a lot at stake. He sits, no deal, and all of sudden the players get locked out he will be looking around and wondering what the heck happened? He needs to pick a side of the fence and stay on it. Either he wants to be a football player making nine million or he wants to be an over paid ego.
