This is Peters pension eligibility year, he has to report by August 8th

The players get a killer pension package after enough time in the league and it's really dumb to risk not having that behind you either way.

If you are under contract you need to report to camp prior to 30 days before the first NFL regular season game or the year does not count towards as a year accrued towards free agency and years of service. I wouldn't be surprised if that includes pension as well.

Correct. In fact Aug 8 (tomorrow) is that deadline.

Peters has to report to camp by august 8th (tomorrow) or he loses out on his pension eligibility for playing this season. Wow, he is really dropping the ball if he misses out on that as well. The players get a killer pension package after enough time in the league and it's really dumb to risk not having that behind you either way.

Sucks to be him. He isn't just ignoring the Bills he is also ignoring his teammates. Ball's in his court. It sucks to have a single digit wonderlic score and just follow your agent blindly down a dark alley.

a guy who has already made millions needs a pension...?

and he is holding out for a 50+ mil deal which will trump any pension.

So I seriously doubt Peters is worried about his pension status.

You never know how things turn out and having something there for you if times do get rough is always a plus.

Ok, so what is the week 10 deadline for?

I'm confused.

Plus if this is true, wouldn't he get his pension eligibility next year anyways if he reported on time?

As of this minute, there is nothing that says he plays another down in the NFL. It's obvious that there is a stalemate and both sides are losing, which is sad.

he probably doesn't care about the pension since the world is ending soon.

I'm sorry. Although I do believe that contracts can be renegotiated I do not see both sides causing the stalemate. Peters has a contract. He has voluntarily cut off all communication between himself and the team AND his teammates. It's all his fault at this point. He has a contract. He can ask that that contract be renegotiated but he hasn't even attempted to show that he is any where near playing shape. This is all his doing.

He would qualify the next season he played.

The Bills could of set this up that he was going to get a raise based on a similiar performance this season and gave him a bonus to commesurate with what other top LT are getting paid. He is underpaid and deserves to get a raise, though not necessary everything instantly but soon. Making a player feel welcome works as well as not telling them to pound sand. I think the Bills leaned a little more towards the pound sand side, how about you?
