Jason peters to retire

[RoyBatty is alive]

great player  thanks largely to the then Bills coaching staff, what was his coach’s nickname? the peanut that switched him to Tackle.  Sadly things  didn’t work out, a lot  of the  rancor was because the Bills let the coach go.

 

we didn’t get back what he was worth (was it Eric Wood?) but still excellent return for what we invested.

 

now the issue is will he make the Hall of Fame? if he does i assume he he’s in as an eagle.

[Prospector]

I thought he retired like 5 years ago

[HOUSE]

This guy has retired more times than Brett Farve

It was mouse McNally.  As I recall, the bills brought in other linemen in free agency and paid them huge bucks.  When Peters asked for a commensurate contract, the Bills balked, leading to the rancor and eventual trade.  The Bills management at the time totally blew it.

Is there a Hall of Longevity? He’s a lock for that. 

 

He signed with the Bills in 2004. Remember 2004? That was a long time ago. He’s got a job with the Seahawks, so good for him.

It goes the other way in the southern hemisphere I think. That’s where the idea for Benjamin Button came from, or so I heard.

Honestly, not signing Peters to a long term deal was one of the worst personal moves of the drought era. 

 

I thought we could have been much better in the Fitz era if we had a great LT. 

 

Think of the line w Peters, Levitre, Wood....

 

What could have been. 

[stuvian]

Great career and a blight on our organization for trying to lowball him

As I remember, Dockery and Walker weren't even bad players, just nothing special.
