otisly00 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 All things considered, I'm starting to get nervous about Peters not being in camp - more for the reason of gelling with the line, screwing up Langston who is now playing LT instead of RT, and lastly being out of shape and not in tune with Turk's new offense. I obviously have no clue about any communication between the FO and him, but is he really going to pull a T.O. move from Philly a couple years ago? Even Chad Johnson showed up to camp, and he has much more than 1 good season under his belt. Is it any coincidence that the last 2 big name holdouts - SJax and Peters are both rep'd by Eugene Parker? Is he trying to make a name for himself to compete with Rosenhaus? These agents should be 'fined' or held responsible too if their name is on a contract with 1,2, 3 or 50 years left on a deal they signed - while they are holding their players back from reporting. F'ing agents have way too much control in sports.
erynthered Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Is this an Official "Peters better get to camp" thread? Because if its not there could be trouble around here!!!!

The Big Cat Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Awesome. I hope you're not being sarcastic, I had to dig all the way back to page 12 to populate that list!
UnionAMG Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I hope you're not being sarcastic, I had to dig all the way back to page 12 to populate that list! I loved it... the reaction to the Peters Holdout has officially become more annoying than the Holdout itself.

In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I really like what this guy Ed Thompson says about Peters Peters has made a huge mistake. He's sitting at home deepening the divide between himself and a team that I believe will negotiate a new deal with him -- if he simply reports to camp. If he was trying to to squeeze more money from a team that was in cap trouble or that was showing no good-faith effort to negotiate with players once they reported to camp, I would understand (but still disagree with) his strategy of staying at home.
BuffaloBaumer Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 How damaging is it that everyone has been switching positions on the line? The part that really annoys me is that when Peters does come back, all of the gelling is going to take place in the true season where it could have been ironed out before they took the field in Game 1. I honestly see this hold out turning a W into an L at some point.

ricojes Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Fear not people. Just heard on 97 Rock this morning that a guy at a bar, who has inside information, said that the Peters situation has been resolved and he will be in camp soon. Larry Norton displaying investigative journalism at its finest!

Larry Norton displaying investigative journalism at its finest! Shredd and Reagan also had a source, they said this was just from a person they knew, but had no direct tie with the Bills organisation and was not one of their sources from the team, that said movement will be coming soon in this situation. Now they said that doesn't mean he is coming in, and could just be that he is moving to go get a copy of Madden 2009, so take it for what its worth.................
The Big Cat Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 A big cat you certainly are ! Hey now, mind the time stamp! July 25, I believe!

apuszczalowski Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Problem is that he has the leverage now. If we lose another person on the OL we might have no choice but to give in. He has gained a little leverage off of the injuries, but the Bills have still not shown that they are desperate to bring him back and will cave. They lost some Depth in those 2 guys going down, but they were depth who might not have even made the team if he was here. If they were to have lost a starter, then he will gain some serious leverage, but the Bills have shown they are not afraid of just moving someone over and having them fill in at a different spot if needed.
