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

Re: Schefter: Peters Willing to Sit Out Entire Season
Shefter was on WGR with Howard Simon this morning and said the same thing.. Said that at the least without a new deal he wouldn't report until Week 10, which by that time the Bills season will surely be lost.
Re: Schefter: Peters Willing to Sit Out Entire Season
Well he would be stupid to do that because he's the one missing out on money. At the same time, the Bills would (again) be a laughing stock because they'll get bad publicity because, really, Peters deserves the money and there are about 28 other teams out there that would pay him.
Re: Schefter: Peters Willing to Sit Out Entire Season
Bye, Jason. Have a nice unpaid vacation. See you when you develop a little respect, responsibility or loyalty.
But I won't count on it.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Re: Schefter: Peters Willing to Sit Out Entire Season
This is obviously concerning, but I just can't see Peters sitting out until week 10. I feel like every year there are players that make these threats, but when was the last time a player actually sat out the season. I remember Joey Galloway doing it a while back, but it seems like these thing always work themselves out somehow. I could see Peters missing a lot of camp, but I don't see him missing the season. I mean what is he going to do? Sit out for 3 years? I've been all for Peters getting a new deal and I respect him making a point of it, but if he lets this thing get ugly and ruin the season, I'll have no sympathy for him.
Re: Schefter: Peters Willing to Sit Out Entire Season
Is he going to do that the next three years? What kind of FA contract will he expect after three years of doing nothing?
And, considering he will have not make any money over this three year span because his fines would exceed his pay if he showed up week ten, he would have gained nothing, and lost three years. Compare that to actually working and getting 9ish million.
Or like a smart guy, play one more year, then ask for an extension.

Re: Schefter: Peters Willing to Sit Out Entire Season
can someone answer this.. what if he tries to show up in week 10 and the bills say "no.. you ****ed us up to this point, and now we are having a losing season because your a selfish **** sucker that decided to quit on your teammates, so we really dont want you to play at this point."
does he still get a year of eligability? i mean, all he has to do is show up and not play at week 10 and that counts as a year?
even so, i will let him do that for 3 years.. by then, he is past his prime and out of practice and his career is ruined.
**** him.

Re: Schefter: Peters Willing to Sit Out Entire Season
If Peters reports, then I'm willing to rework his contract
If he continues to hold out, he can go rot..........he will never play again
Bills organization have treated him extremely well since he came here as an UDFA. Bills have a legitimate chance at the playoffs this year and he's putting himself before the team.

New contract or not, Peters will be the starting LT on September 7th. Book it.
it's looking less and less like this will happen. Like everyone is saying, he'll probably just show up in time to get his 8 games in and by that time our season will be hosed.

couldnt have said it better. **** him. if he did hold out and **** the team this year, i would love to see him get screwed like lecharles bentley.
the hatred for him in the city of buffalo would be so great for ruining the season that he couldnt even live there.
