Sorry for another Peters thread, just thought it was good to see this perspective.
I'm hoping he's right - although like has been discussed - if he does show up, who knows if he could play.

The last rookie to sign ended his standoff Wednesday when Jacksonville Jaguars' first-round pick Derrick Harvey agreed to a five-year deal that could pay him $30 million.
That leaves Buffalo Bills tackle Jason Peters as the only player not with his team, making him the last holdout.
The Bills are holding their ground on Peters, who wants a new contract. And they should.
Why?
Like Harvey, Peters will show up. Nobody sits out seasons any more in the NFL. There's too much money to be made and only so many earning years in a body.
Harvey wasn't going to sit out a season, and neither will Peters. The Jaguars knew it, and pretty much held their ground. The Bills know it, too. Peters is scheduled to make $3.25 million this season, which is $191,175 per game, on a deal he signed in 2006.
Want to bet he's there on opening day?
I love when agents and players act as if they will sit out. We all know better. The teams know better.
Rams running back Steven Jackson talked about sitting out, but came in and got a new deal. Same for Bears return man Devin Hester.
