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...

We always need to be worried about Jason Peters.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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