Jason Peters on the trade block...

Please lets stop going after other teams players who are looking to get paid. We need to put more stock into drafting and developing our own players. Thats why we have scouts and coaches to evaluate and teach. If you look at our roster we have some young players who we have drafted ( Montgomery, Golston,Horton,Landry,Rocky,Cooley,Rogers, Campbell, Blades,Reed D. Thomas, Kelly, Davis, Kareem M.) that are or will contribute this season. If you notice we do not have any Quality offensive Linemen that we have drafted in recent years. I did forget about Rhinehart, but as we know he did not get on the field. We are not even sure he will make the roster for this season. We have a HOF Offensive Line Coach in Joe B. you would think we could find some diamonds in the ruff in the later rounds.

We don't have the cap space to trade for him even if we wanted to pull the trigger.

We already have this thread...

Too much to give up and the guy is a bit of a nut job.

agreed he is a tough guy to deal with not worth the risk

I guess I just don't consider a player that goes to the pro bowl and is arguably the best LT in football asking for a new contract as being unreasonable. He's playing on an UDFA TE contract - he deserves more than that. I think all these 'nut job' and 'tough guy to deal with' type comments are a bit far fetched.

I understand not wanting to deal to get him, and hopefully if we take a T high, he'll pan out. For just our 1st round pick, I think I'd do it (assuming we could massage the cap and get him under). A proven commodity with plenty of years left in the league is a good deal to me. Especially if we're thinking about drafting the T out of Alabama who seems like he may be a far larger headache in the NFL.

NFLnick, Im not sure what you mean by 'we already have this thread' I'm not sure what you mean. Im sure this topic is burried in one of the threads on the forum. But that type of forum setup is what drives me away from this site. I can't quickly find discussions on a specefic topic. I have to dig through some broad thread that everyone is talking to themselves about many topics.

No thanks. If we are gonna trade our 1st and 3rd Id rather go after Peppers. That said we gotta use our picks or hopefully trade down to add more picks.
Totally

Apparently the Bills are seeking a 1 and a 3.

the majority of your posts seem to be how you don't like there being a thread existing, maybe you should evaluate your own posting or make your own board if you're so adamant about how things are run

I'd rather use our first on a guy; I don't blame Peters for wanting a new contract but do we wanna trade away likely our only "certain" picks?

I would not trade for a guy who plays LT when our need is RT, and wants a big deal. No thanks
