They could sign an extension, JP get the bonus money and STILL hold out.
Magox Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I'm glad to hear it. In the article it says Vincent Taylor is his agent. ???? I thought it was Eugene Parker
GOBILLS78 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I'm glad to hear it. In the article it says Vincent Taylor is his agent. ???? I thought it was Eugene Parker Peters got pissed when he heard Parker was holding out for more money, so he cut him. Now that would be funny.
spartacus Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 this is old news it refers to the offer the bills made in December it indicates the Bills are sitting on their offer and have not had further discussions

They could sign an extension, JP get the bonus money and STILL hold out. Every player could do that. Maybe they should play it safe, and not sign anyone.
BuffaloBill Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Every player could do that. Maybe they should play it safe, and not sign anyone. Perhaps we should just trade our entire roster and backfill with draft picks and unsigned rookie FA's .. I am getting so tired of JP posts.
R!P REVOLUTIONARIES Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Trade him. ...and watch our line fall apart with a bunch of rookies this year.
dave mcbride Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Very, very interesting news about the replacement of Parker with Taylor. Here's the only reference I could find via google (admittedly, I didn't look too hard; it's from 2006): http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jm-s...o&type=lgns # Texas fullback Ahmard Hall will sign a two-year contract with the Tennessee Titans, and the deal could be done as early as Friday morning, according to Hall's agent, Vincent Taylor.
BuffaloRebound Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Doesn't Jauron usually have a 'no comment on contractual matters' stance? Unfortunately, this makes me feel like it is much more likely Peters gets traded.

They are both his agents. Nothing has changed from last year.
dave mcbride Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 They are both his agents. Nothing has changed from last year. ?? - According to Bucky Gleason, Taylor was his previous agent, and Peters fired him and replaced him with Parker. "He should also redirect his anger. His contempt should be for his former agent, Vincent Taylor, who unlike management failed to see the potential in his client. The Bills should be given credit for locking up a prospect and molding him into a Pro Bowl left tackle. Peters’ current agent, power hitter Eugene Parker, isn’t doing Peters any favors either by advising his client to stay home. Peters can sit and pout, but he’s not helping himself or his team. Every day away from training camp is another day of silence, another opportunity for someone else and another $15,000 down the drain. Today, he’ll move past $60,000 in fines for unexcused absences from training camp." http://www.buffalonews.com/opinions/column...ory/401589.html
Nick the Greek Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 this is good news, i hope we can work something out.. he's our best friggin lineman
The Dean Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 They are both his agents. Nothing has changed from last year. While I suppose it is possible, Parker and Taylor work for two different firms. It's not unusual for a player to be represented by one agent from a firm, and then sometimes have a different agent, from the same firm, cited or quoted. But, isn't it sort of odd to have two agents from two different firms representing one player in contract talks?

The Dean Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Maybe he want to play "good agent", "bad agent" with Bills? Which one does he pay, when he gets a new contract?
BillsWatch Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Which one does he pay, when he gets a new contract? Maybe he will stiff both like he did the Bills?

But, isn't it sort of odd to have two agents from two different firms representing one player in contract talks? ya, I agree, but check out SI's Dr Z from the 2008 training camp The Bills have a new offensive coordinator, Turk Schonert, with a new system, with different line calls and everything. Not easy to pick up. Peters' agent, Eugene Parker, is a hardball type of guy. I can't tell you about his second agent, Vincent Taylor. One tough one is enough. And in the blue corner, weighing in at 175 pounds, is, well, Russ Brandon. Remember him? and CBSSports.com Peters has not commented publicly on his holdout. His agents, Eugene Parker and Vincent Taylor, have not returned calls from the Associated Press. looks like he's been getting advice from both for a while...
The Dean Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 ya, I agree, but check out SI's Dr Z from the 2008 training camp looks like he's been getting advice from both for a while... Very interesting. Like I said, it's possible (but very strange). This may be a good sign, as they may have recognized that Parker got nowhere last year, and perhaps doesn't have the best working relationship/mutual trust with the Bills' FO.

But, isn't it sort of odd to have two agents from two different firms representing one player in contract talks? It's certainly unusual, but some big-time clients do it that way to kind of get the best out of both agents. Ultimately he is doling out 3% to these guys. Splitting them evenly and giving each 1.5% will still net both agents a solid pay day... if I remember correctly, Moulds had a similar arrangement with two different agents.
