Peters: “To be honest, I don’t know. I wasn’t trying to get a whole lot of money. I just wanted to get what I deserved and they couldn’t reach an agreement.”
My take: C’mon man, you were trying to get $11.5M per season out of Buffalo, and then you took less from Philly. Six years $60M.
Schein later asked Peters if he had any regrets about holding out and if he was in top shape when he finally reported.
Peters: “No, no I wasn’t. It took about three games, three, four weeks until I got to 100%. I wasn’t 100% when I came back. No regrets though. That was the only leverage I had, you know, to hold out. That’s the only thing the player can do. I can’t do no more besides holding out. That was the only leverage I had.”
My take: Finally some truth. It was clear he was not in game shape when he came back. That’s why he had to get subbed out a handful of times in the Jacksonville game in Week 2, when Langston Walker nobly flipped back and forth between right and left tackle during a game with 102 degree heat.
