Should we be worried about Jason Peters?

[Mahdi]

I guess managment is busy signing coaches and all that but do you think the Bills will make it a priority to sign Jason Peters? And, what kind of contract will Peters be looking to sign? Starting LT money or average lineman money? I think Peters is a priority signing and when it happens, hopefully, I'll be relieved. Any thoughts?

J. Peters has not shown any signs of being greedy. We were the only team that took a chance on him and he seems greatful. Hopefully they do sign him and give him a little more to show that he is appreciated for his efforts...

[casdhf]

He is a RFA, correct?

[DBrown77]

peters is playing RT not LT

[Earthquake Enyart]

We always need to be worried about Jason Peters.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Peters has a wonderlic score of 8. We could offer him $500K and a box of Hersey bars and he'd sign.

[Earthquake Enyart]

He got an 8 and they give you 10 for signing your name.

[HAMMER]

A couple months back I read that the Bills had made an offer for an extension, Peters and his agent turned it down. Sorry no link.

the offer probably had lots of words and no pictures.

Exclusive Rights Free Agents
These players have no bargaining power and will remain with the Bills if they want them.

CB Jabari Greer - Not much depth at corner, likely to get qualifying offer.
OT Jason Peters - Team will look for longterm deal.
WR Jonathan Smith - He's a playmaker. Tender will be made.
OL Lawrence Smith - Injured player will likley not get tendered.
RB Shaud Williams - Will definitely be tendered an offer.


I pulled this off of BillsDaily.com, looks like we hold all the cards with Peters.

[kgun12]

I think because he is a RFA if we tender him an offer, and another team signs him we get draft choices. I don't think many teams would give up draft choices for a guy we got as a free agent signing.

Peters has a wonderlic score of 8. We could offer him $500K and a box of Hersey bars and he'd sign.

Unless his agent also has a Wonderlic capability of 8, I don't think we can make that assumption. I don't think he has the leverage to command a huge salary, but I'd want to pay him enough to keep him happy.

Don't be fooled. Sooner or later it is always about the money. There is no loyalty in the NFL.

[Bill Cody]

Peters has a wonderlic score of 8. We could offer him $500K and a box of Hersey bars and he'd sign.

He's holding out for $400k and two boxes.

[Kerr]

I heard Peters isn't a very good run blocker. Wouldn't it be more fitting for him to play LT then? Most right tackles should be able to run block since they run to that side the most. Isn't this why Mike Williams was selected? He was selected for his run blocking, not his pass blocking. When healthy, he was a pretty good run blocker though.

[TigerJ]

Peters hasn't been playing tackle long enough to judge what he's going to be good at. He's still in the early stages of his learning curve. By the end of the next training camp, he might be a pretty good run blocker.

If Peters becomes the player that people think he will, then he and his agent are doing the right thing by waiting for FA. Donahoe was right in trying to nail him down on the cheap before he fully developed.

[vicmantak]

It would depend on how smart is the new FO. They have all the tools to sign Peters at the right price and IMO Bills FO did a great move to retain coach Jim McNally who is arguably the key-factor to stay in Buffalo without any big issue.
I just wonder, why he was not extended after he showed some obvious evidences of quality and potential...

Starting LT would be a mistake; he has not shown he is capable of being a starting LT let alone a complete tackle for a year.

[Bmax]

Hey leave the guy alone.. According to bills o-line coach jim mcnally peters has picked up the line position very quickly. Having no problems with his assignments.

So all this talk about his test score means nothing. Did you see the guy against peppers ?. Have you ever seen him play special teams. Look i want a guy who can pass block not perform brain surgery. Talent wise the sky's the limit .. He is a efa free agent so we have nothing to worry about. We will sign him to a long term deal sooner or later.

[G. Host]

I want a tackle which can pass AND run block.

[tampabay25690]

I think he will be signed and it wont be a high salary......

[ddaryl]

I forsee the Bills giving Peters a rock solid contract.

He should also see lots of time at LT during training camp.

[X-Era]

Peters has a wonderlic score of 8. We could offer him $500K and a box of Hersey bars and he'd sign.

Did you ever take the Wonderlic?

Thats what I thought.

Personally, Id put Timmy out at RT if he could play half as good as Peters.

[Saratoga Slim]

Did you ever take the Wonderlic?

Thats what I thought.


So Miyagi's dumb cause he didn't take the Wonderlic? That's like saying he's slow because nobody ever timed him in a 40.

Jp-era........is that "Jason Peters era?" Are you Jason Peters?

[gr8slayer]

I think we need to do everything we can to keep Peters. He has a TON of upside.

[Saratoga Slim]

Yeah, he's one of my favorite players. The wonderlic stuff makes for easy material, that's all. He doesnt play dumb, from what I've seen. I could care less if he's writing books in the off-season, long as he knows his plays.
