Exactly right. Peters has 2 years left on his contract before he can move on. Furthermore, if the Bills keep him at a devalued contract, he's easier to peddle to buyers.
I think some people missed the memo though. It isn't about putting a quality product on the field, winning football games, and building a team that can win a Super Bowl. It is really about how frugal the franchise can be and how much profitability it has in the bottom line. Afterall, a larger ROI can be had if the business being sold has books that show outstanding profitability.
