Why didn't we resign Peters?

Huh?


True, but what he brought off-the-field was invaluable.

he said he's old and injured, and I said tyron smith who is old and always injured is his brother!

Because he's just one play away from a permanent walker. Great mentor though. Would have liked them to have brought him on as an assistant coach. Could see the respect from the rookies.

Was there ever any rationale given for not signing Peters?

Peters still wants to play. He was a quality starter at *multiple* positions last year. I'd take him as the gameday backup at 4 positions over all our other backups, including Chuma. But fine. Maybe they just love love love Chuma. If they like Chuma more than Peters, then keep them both, because Peters' value was *more* than established last year.

Once we didn't draft interior oline high, signing Peters was a no-brainer to me. Still is, especially if we're trying to make a run this year, which seems to be the case.

Cause he would constantly get hurt and wasn’t good anymore

It took him a long time to get in shape last season. He didn't play over 38% of snaps until game 17.

Yeah, I hadn't remembered that he wasn't playing full games for almost all of last year. Just remembered that he looked good when he did play.

Here is an injury report from the Tampa game. Hip.

Just too old. Turn the page. There's got to be at least one other guy in North America who can play Oline for Dallas. Find him

Agreed, it's a real head scratcher.....
Waiting for after the first game so his contract is not guaranteed?

Because he is 41.
