Bills must make Peters a happy camper

[Patrick76777]

The Buffalo Bills open training camp Friday at St. John Fisher College, and it will be a very bad sign if unhappy offensive left tackle Jason Peters hasn't signed a renegotiated contract by then.

I'm no fan of renegotiated contracts, but Peters is an exception. He signed his current deal before he was converted to left tackle, where he quickly established himself as one of the best in the NFL.

It's no surprise that he feels underpaid when two other starters on the offensive line are being paid much more as imported free agents.

I do agree that Peters is worth it. BUT I also believe that Peters should play with his exisitng contract this year and that the Bills should guarentee Peters they will renegotiate for next season. Peters is only a couple years into his last extension, and that is the gamble one takes when they extend early. Both sides took the gamble.

Lets see what he does in 2 full years at LT before paying him like the best LT in the game. He didn't show up at any of the off season work outs so lets see what kind of shape he is in. WHo knows maybe Peters took all that new money and sat on his ass. We don't know, but before I give him another extension and raise I would want to verify his commitment. Not showing up durng the offseason doens't make me want to spend more money on a player, but I know this is a negotiating stance, I just don't agree with it.

Mid-season he'll get paid again, after he shows that probowl form and we are 6-1.
