We need a legit LT. Like many of you, I've been screaming for one. But you won't find me jumping for joy at this one. Gaither is a talented LT with a questionable work ethic. Just like Jason Peters. He's gonna come here, play well and then sit out unless he gets a max contract. It's deja vu for us. I don't like it.
When Peters first sat for a new deal he was coming off of a legit pro bowl season where everyone in the league saw him as the best LT besides the now-retired Seahawk. He had unreal talent, potential and upside. We had the leverage with three years left on his deal but bottom line, we never gave him the money he wanted. Why would we do it now with Gaither?
