Jason Peters still wants to play

[Stash]

Yes he has everything to do with losing Tyron, he slides to LG when Tyler slides to LT.

Better yet, Peters steps in at LT - his best position - and there’s no sliding at all.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Sure but he's constantly getting injured.

then he doesn't count against your roster & you can bring up a PS OL.

 

[Stash]

If Peters is still physically able then he would be great for depth. His leadership and knowledge is like having an extra OL coach.

Absolutely! He helped Tyler Smith tremendously during his rookie year.

He’d likely help Asim Richards in much the same way.

 

[Praxit]

..been saying this all along. Dial up the Peters insurance plan. He's good player, great sport and veteran support to OL.

 

[MonsterD]

Need someone at Oline thinking of Farniok, Ball, and Waleztsko as backup is pretty scary.

 

[TheCritic]

Probably won't get signed until after week 1 to avoid guaranteed vet min.

 

[RS12]

I'd like him back for his mentoring abilities alone. He and Tyler watched a lot of film together which greatly helped his development. Worst case assistant OL coach.

Peters is definitely on the rolodex.

Vet min is only like $1M which Im sure he would have at least that amount guaranteed anyway.

We always draft well.

Stop with that stuff. When was the last time you saw a slew of post week 1 signings? Not really a thing anymore.

No NFL team wants to guarantee the contract of a limited 41 year old offensive lineman. Peters cannot play full games. He needs to be in a rotation. If he's on a roster for the first game, then his salary is guaranteed for the season. The earliest Peters will join any roster is after game 1 is done. And then he'd need a few weeks to get into game shape. I'm not against the idea of bringing Peters back if he's needed. But it won't happen in the next few weeks.

I like everything he brings to the table except the fact that he can't play full games and has a health risk factor,,, which is kind of a biggie. That and being a progress stopper for Asim, Hoffman, Waletzko, et al.
Still, beggars can't be choosers and the front office did this to themselves,

In before the "you know Tyron will miss games" crowd.

Are we wrong?

The trade off is if you signed him now, he’d have a few weeks to be in shape and available for week one.

If you signed him afterwards, you’re hoping that you don’t need him when the games do count.

 

[Bagman]

Peters in.

Ball out.

No wisecracks!

I expected that from Risen, not you ! Lol

 

[Pass2Run]

Bring the dude in. He did well last year. Great leader and team guy too. He's capable and makes us better.

 

[Pass2Run]

If he wants to lace em up, I would sign him to a reasonable 1-year deal in a heartbeat. I see no downside in having an insurance policy to hedge against a few injuries on the offensive line. He was good enough to not let the game get wrecked last year when he played.

Good teams should always be looking to add cheap, quality veteran depth like this. It is a long season.

Amen.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Sign him now, get him in shape, then release him before week one so his money isn't guaranteed. There can be a handshake deal in place to have him re-sign in week two and then I feel a lot better about the depth of this line.

Not to mention he's a great influence on the younger guys.
