Re: Peters video up on BB.com
What he said:
- I'm 100% ready to go and glad to be back.
- When asked "What decided to make you come back?" He replied:
Talks with Overdorf and Russ. I sat out because of my contract situation. I believe that a man's word is a man's word. They said they're gonna take care of it, so I take their word for it.
- I don't regret it one bit for sitting out. That's the only way I could've sent the message. If i show up, the problem would never get solved. That's the only option I had to sit out.
- I'll be ready to play this Sunday at Jacksonville.
- I was healthy. They werent calling me, they were calling my agent.
- They had their foot down, and I had my foot down. But I'm back and ready to go.
When asked "Did you feel youre letting your teammates down?" He replied:
You know, so-so. Watching my teammates in the preseason game, my name kept getting brought up. I let my teammates down a little bit, but I had to do what's best for my family. They're my family on the field, but I got family off the field too.
- Overdorf called my agent and they worked it out, and now i'm here.
- My agent called me and said "Jason you need to be there on Saturday. I wont take no for an answer."
- My agent is one of the best, and I believe in the Bills organization. I picked the Bills, and obviously I wanna be here.

Re: Peters video up on BB.com
I didn't like his tone. Seemed really immature and started off with a me against the man attitude. Then at the end changed to I want to be a Bill. The dude should have stayed quiet a little longer.I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.

Re: Peters video up on BB.com
he will end up screwing himself though.. players who hold out like that always get hurt. once he gets hurt, he shouldnt hold his breath for a new deal."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie Howe

Re: Peters video up on BB.com
I didn't find his interview to be that bad....I'm glad he's back!"Expect rejection, but expect more to overcome it."
***Marv Levy.***
"Coach Levy is one of the most inspirational people that I have ever known."
***Thurman Thomas.***
"You're not going to find a more classier, down-to-Earth person away from the field than Marv Levy. He's a guy who's pretty much made me what I am today as far as a professional player and a person."

Imagine if you could tell all the people you love that they never have to work again.

i didnt get that at all
i got that they had an unresolvable disagreement, obviously about renegotiating his contract for this season. they were in a sort of mexican standoff where thankfully at the last minute nobody fired
it feels pretty likely that brandon told him he had to play this third year on his five year contract and they would do what they did with the rest of the players here that outplayed their contract and redo them when two years remain. peters wanted them to change their pattern for him and reward him right now
dont move or ill shoot gringo
the bills have already invested a lot in him including putting big money in his pocket. the pattern has been established regarding how well they treat players they designate as core. crowell wasnt core, peters is. he had to know that so he should have followed the script the bills have laid out for everybody
even so, peters stated his case pretty well. its obvious he didnt get what he wanted, and in fact got exactly what he would have received had he just showed up from the start, but at least he expressed his strong desire to play and to remain a bill. that made me feel a lot betterOne set of rules for all in the beloved community
