All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Wow.
Yeah, tell someone we can land a quality starting OT, maybe even LT for 14-19 mil over 5 years, I dare ya.
How bad is Marv looking right now?
I aint saying hes a star but a starting quality up and comer at OT, PREVENTED from hitting the market for that type of money is one helluva deal in my mind.
Marv, the post of MANY MANY whippings, has in fact landed one of our best young prospects at one of mour most critical positions for 5 more years at a very cheap rate. On the surface he deserves props for this.

Need to know bonus info as well..........I'm working on that
Isn't it a general rule that signing bonus is usually less than half of the total of all base salaries? So in this case, since Peters will make $10.55M in base salary with this contract (as of right now, since that will probably change with restructures later-on), that he probably got a SB of ~$5M?
Re: Looks like a pretty good deal for Jason Peters....
Even if the deal is for $ 19-20 million total and Peters stays at right tackle, the numbers are reasonable considering what the salary cap is likely to be in '09 and 2010. Barring a major injury or a drop-off in Peters' play, this is a pretty good deal for the Bills. If Peters continues to develop, whether he moves to the left side or not, it could end up being a major steal. It also send a good message to the Bills' young players that, if they work hard and are committed to the team, the Bills will make a committment to them.
Nice work by the front office.
Now it's just up to Peters to keep working hard and take his game to the next level.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

Re: Looks like a pretty good deal for Jason Peters....
I have to agree with mostly everyone on here on this one. This was a big deal for us. Peters is very young and has tons of talent. It is nice to know he is locked up for the next 5 years.

Re: Looks like a pretty good deal for Jason Peters....
Peters has shown steady improvement in his play and I think this is a great deal for both sides. I know he is as dumb as rocks but he is a very good player and truly wants to be here. Can't ask for more.

I am pleasantly surprised the Bills got this deal done before camp.. Great move and one less big headache to worry about after the season..
Peters has to be pumped, considering he didnt even get drafted out of college..
I agree (finally) with you Pat. It shows that Buffalo will not be stingy with the money and they will pay the young guys their value. However, if they do slide him to LT either during the upcoming season or next, we may have a possible problem with him in a couple of seasons if he turns out to be dynamite. But I don't really see that happening.
