There is little doubt to me that Wilson plays a role in Peters contract situation. Like everyone else, he probably felt the Bills "made" Peters and the Bills probably told Peters a new contract is in line in 2009 should he do well again this year. It's now almost a pride thing, especially Peters is likely to miss a regular season game, even if he reports today.
Looking back to Schobel's new contract. there was a hint of problems when Kelsay signed that big contract (a must sign at the time determined by Bills gurus then), but it was quickly resolved. Marv was at the helm at that time.
Look, Marv is not so much an X and O guys ever. His biggest strength is knowing the big picture and is really good at conveying it to people (i.e. handling people). I know he does not do contracts, but he has a way to convince people, especially at individual level, on directions. Marv may or may not talk sense into the green blind agents, but he sure can talk to players, and players are the ultimate deciders on contracts. The Donahoe regime tried in vain to get Peters signed, whereas Marv was able to sign him to a 5 year deal.
I think if Marv is still the GM, he may handle the situation a lot better. I don't know Brandon. But I'm sure Marv will have Ralph's ear for new ideas and suggestions. I don't know if he can be of any help now because he does not have any real title with the organization.
