The Player I'm Hearing Caused Peters Holdout

[patmoran2006]

I listened in on some media discussion last night about Peters, since the organization sure as hell refuses to discuss it.

And what I heard more than anything is that it was the contract that Roos signed with Tennessee, that pays him something like $7-million per year, that made Eugene Parker decide to take this strategy with Peters.

I am NOT offering an opinion here, Im just saying this is what I heard, often last night.

Jason Peters is the player that caused Jason Peters' holdout.

Bucky's column today makes the good point that the Rams giving Jackson a new contract likely only emboldens Parker. Another holdout that worked.

Jackson caved and showed up.

Because they were going to pay him. They were talking before he showed up, and obviously it involved a new deal.

Jackson: 1 year left on contract

Peters: 3 years left on contract

Big difference

Does anyone really think that he will just give up a $200,000 check every week during the regular season?

Is there a way the Bills can suspened him and not pay him?

I'm really hoping that you are right but it's really looking more and more likely.

Dude, if he doesn't show up for the games, he doesn't get a paycheck.

Just because he shows up doesn't mean he is going to give the effort.

Even if he does show up the Bills should be able to suspend him for a game or 4 to make a point.

I think he is being a moron too, but, considering he is probably our best player, I want him starting Sunday even if he reports Saturday night.

i believe peters does deserve a new contract, however, he's going to lose a lot of people if he misses the opener. while i understand his business decisionto request a new contract, he also has to remember, no matter how much of a business the nfl is, it is a team game. players on the bills will lose respect for him for losing their chances of big payouts and superbowl dreams.

this was speculated by several sources five minutes after he signed the contract.
