he probably will be the best available as a depth pick up

 

The fact that he hasn't signed yet tells me it's about money, not about wanting to play. If he was serious he'd be in a camp now.

If this was anything more than a fantasy I would think they’d have made the move by now.

Beane and Peters are handcuffed to one another until they come to some sort of agreement.  Peters holds out until he is guaranteed an official 'Little People' figure.  Beane holds out until he finds another defensive lineman.

Sorry, that argument doesn't play.  When a contract is signed, its a deal.  Upside and downside risk for each side.  Peters could have gotten hurt for the last 2 years on the contract and still got paid..  That would have been a big loss to the Bills.  Expecting a new deal becasue it worked out better because of his performance, well, that was his downside and the Bills gain.  He voided that contract w bad attitude and great dsirespect for what a contract is.  Its always "fair" at the time of signing.  It can go either way after that in terms of who benefits.  Again, he broke trust with the Bills mafia.  I have considered him w/o character since that episode.

 

Peters is considered a great teammate.   Kinda' guy who would literally stays after practice all the time to work with young OL.........even in his prime when he was an All Pro.   When your best offensive lineman does that.......that's the kind of stuff that helps you maintain a winning culture while changing HC's.

 

Imagine Dion Dawkins being like that.  Yeah right.......it's a stretch of the imagination for sure.   He can't even get himself in shape.  But fans have loved Dion until now because he kisses their asss on social media and because the Bills front office wisely doesn't try to get over on their players contractually or negotiate thru the media when they do it.   That makes even the lazy underachievers like Dion fan favorites to the dim-witted amongst the fanbase.

How is he supposed to learn the play book? At least Bruce knew it.

True but he would be brought in as depth... and he's a proven vet that can probably absorb schemes quicker than most

He's played for that $1.7M level the past 2 seasons  and he's made around $120M in his career.   

 

But you think that he is still playing for the money? 

 

You even used to complain about his durability.    Never has anyone been as wrong about a player on TSW as you have been about Peters.   You were throwing dirt on him over a decade ago.

 

He's a gamer.   If he is committed to playing another year at age 41 there is very little difference in preparation between signing two weeks ago or waiting until after the last preseason game and then assessing the field.

It would be his 19th year in the NFL and he's a coach-on-the-field level of player.   He's run every play and executed every block and worked with players of all ages and experience levels.   If guys like Kyle Orton and Matt Barkley can step in and play QB for a team with a week or 2 notice why would you even suggest that a HOF level  offensive lineman who's played twice as long as they have/had wouldn't be able to learn the play calls with a couple nights peruse of the book?

Are you still glad that the Bills traded him when they did?

With them trading Josh Jones today, that's probably out. I doubt they'd trade both their Reserve Tackles.

damn, we wouldnt pony up anything better than a 5th? i wouldve offered Booger and a 5th, or a 5th that converts to a 4 based on playing time

Eh - 41 year old non-QBs will always skip camp if they can.

He's on his way, the Rascal scooter only goes so fast.

This would be the story book ending.  Jason Peters comes home to where it all started for him.  He converts back to Tight End and wins the starting job from Kincaid.  He catches the game winning touchdown to win Super Bowl LVII.  Ralph rises from the grave to hand JP a huge bag of cash. Russ Brandon is publicly flogged.  All is forgiven.

It's not from a decade ago..........it's still ongoing.........15 years of going out of his way to criticize a player who has graduated from elite talent to all pro to HOF'er.    Your wife probably has a point complaining about you........Peters has been GREAT.   The fact that Promo is still finding ways to criticize Peters rather than owning the fact that he was an idiot for buying the line of BS that Russ Brandon was selling in the first place is ridiculous(but consistent).   There is holding a grudge........and then there is holding a grudge when you were dead f*cking wrong in the first place.

I mean... all things considered... you can do a lot worse in a tackle eligible situation.

He won't be worth what you'd have to pay him as depth.

Yes. Whether he was worth it or not, it was a BS me-me move he pulled after signing a new deal with the Bills.

So what do you expect for your money from such a level of commitment?

He's got to know blocking schemes, run plays, etc.  Again, if you are going to pay millions for a player, a little commitment to the job would be nice.
