WellDressed Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Well our "large eared Keebler elf" just coughed up some large $$ on someone who would have commanded much more come April. Let's keep buying merchandice on his website (bills.com) and hope he has his health and wants to spend some more $$ on a TE or MLB come April 09.

Fan in Chicago Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Is it just me or does anyone else think this is the perfect time to re-work his deal ? If the doc has cleared him, we know that he can play well and has low leverage right now.
THE GASH STATION Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Is that like an assneck?? Yes, infact, it is cousin to the piss clam.
eball Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 What? No Mickey in this thread telling us that Peters' holdout hasn't cost him a dime?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 3 yrs left on contract??????? playing like an arsehat?? --lets wait a lonnnnnnnng time before we even talk to this bozo.No rush at all here. His play is a priority, his contract extension is NOT.
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Is it just me or does anyone else think this is the perfect time to re-work his deal ? If the doc has cleared him, we know that he can play well and has low leverage right now. My guess is that he and his agent still belive he is the best young left tackle in football and they will attempt to negotiate as such.
MarkyMannn Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 To me JP wrote off this year, and needs to prove himself through 2009. I'd talk extension AFTER 2009, at whcih point he still has one year left in his contract

If the doc has cleared him, we know that he can play well and has low leverage right now. Peters won't sign cheap deal right now cause he knows that he can be better. You probably won't here a peep from him and his agent until he gets back to the way he played last year.
Rockinon Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Ok.....He screwed himself. Remember how well he has played? Give him some time to get his **it together. He is young and dumb just like a lot of us used to be. I think he'll bounce back. As for his contract....perhaps he is beginning to see just how lucky he really is to be there. I think he's descovering that you have earn your money...a concept young people nowadays tend to have trouble understanding. He'll come around.
The Milkman Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 When you get the brakes on your car fixed, do you want to take it back three times so that the mechanic has time to get his **it together? When you go out to eat, are you willing to send your food back two or three times so that the cook has time to get his **it together? We all know that you don't. None of us do. If we aren't going to be patient with these guys, then why on earth should we be patient with Jason Peters? There are hundreds of guys who would give anything to have his roster spot for a lot less dough. Probably all but one or two couldn't carry his jock, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't owe the Bills and we fans his best efforts. An NFL career is short and most guys don't get second chances, especially guys who get paid what he thinks he is worth. In the what have you done for me lately world of the NFL he hasn't done enough. Before free agency, this may have been acceptable, but not anymore. The manchild needs to stop listening to all of those people who are telling him how great he is (or in this case was) and get off his bulbous butt and show us that he still is great. If he can't or won't then next year I hope he gets a chance to show a new team and group of fans what he is made of.
bluenews Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Lee Evans should sit the big guy down and explain the proper way to get it done!!
Pirate Angel Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Yes Peters has had some bad plays, one leading to a sack and fumble, but I'd take Dick Jauron and the Buffalo Bills coaching staffs word that they are impressed by his play. He has made some mistakes, but in Dick Jaurons post game conference he said he was "amazed" at how well Peters has played after missing all that time. We all sh-- on the bad plays but he hasn't been horrible at all. I clearly remember him paving the way for Marshawn to get a TD in the Oakland game "amazed" at how bad it was?
The Dean Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I think the Bills will talk extension with Peters now that he is with the team (as promised). My guess is, Peters doesn't want to actively start those talks until he picks up his level of play. Provided he returns to form, this season, I wouldn't be surprised to see Peters with a nice shiny new deal before the start of OTA's next year.
The Dean Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Lee Evans should sit the big guy down and explain the proper way to get it done!! Lee's agent should explain to Peters how a bad agent can mislead you.
Beerball Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Lee's agent should explain to Peters how a bad agent can mislead you. Peters' agent is a dickfoot, which we all know is a distant relative of the pissclam.
The Senator Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 WTF is wrong with all of you? 'PayMe Peters' is the best and most important guy on the team. Kiss the season goodbye if Russ doesn't cave and break the bank for Almighty Jason. Edwards will get killed if FatBoy isn't in the lineup. Our season is in the toilet without Peters. GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! You aren't totally wrong, even though you try to be. As the LT, Peters is one of the most important players on the team. When performing at Pro Bowl level, he is also one of the best players on the team. Right now, due to a poor business strategy, he is behind the curve, and is playing below his usual level. If he doesn't improve, and return to his previous level of play, he shouldn't get any more $ from the Bills. A more likely scenario, IMO, is his play will improve and he will, once again, become one of the Bills' best and most important players. When that happens, the Bills are likely to pay him, accordingly. A real Bills fan should be happy about that, if and when it happens. In fact, if one were to dig through the archives of TSW, I think one would find a plethora of posts from "The Senator" singing the praises of Jason Peters. One bad business decision later, The Senator now dubs him "a bum" (my interpretation of The Sen's characterizations). Interesting, no?
Saint Doug Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Peters should fire his current agent and hire Evan's agent. He should then not say a peep until the season is over. Do you think there is any reason to believe he is still injured and this is why his play is so poor? Do you want to sign someone like this?
