Bills did fine - Peters is ridiculously overrated.

I dunno, he went to the Pro Bowl twice.



"The Buffalo Bills don’t want to lose Jason Peters. They believe he is one of the dominant left tackles in the National Football League. Some pro scouts think he is the best athlete at the position."

That doesn't sound "ridiculously overrated" to me.

From Scouts Inc. :

Offensive Lineman - Top 10
RK PLAYER GRADE
1 Jason Peters 87
2 Michael Roos 81
3 Samson Satele 79

Remember when Lomas Brown used to make the Pro Bowl every year, even when everyone would comment he didn't deserve it and was a classic "name selection?" That's Peters. He held out last year, and had a very poor year, and the local press felt the line actually performed better when he wasn't in the lineup. Peter's best talent was bitching about his salary.

The Bills will draft an OT in the first round and be just fine.

Time will tell. I'm certain they didn't want to trade him. As Titans fans we are very fortunate to have two of the elite O linemen. They are a luxury in the NFL. Nobody is happier than Westbrook and McNabb right now.

reports say this dude gave up 11.5 sacks last year.

And remember he held out to start the season, is making 7.2M this year and is bitching about being underpaid. Again.

The Bills did just fine and will fill this hole in the draft, and not have the locker room cancer anymore.

I'll bet anything Peters whines to Andy Reid in under 3 years about his contract. That will play well with Philly fans.
