HALLELUJAH.

this is awesome!!!

yay for good news!!!!

Alright!

He couldnt afford game fines and he was going to crumble eventually. Too bad we’ll lose him against the Hawks though, their pass rush (Kearney, Peterson) is brutal

That’s my biggest concern. It may be week 3 or 4 until Peters is 110% football fit, but I hope he at least plays week 2.

If we’d used a roster spot on Costanzo instead of Matt Murphy (who is going to be cut now with Peters returning), we wouldn’t have had to put Angelo Crowell on IR.

We have or stud lineman back in the fold. Now if we get news that the Bills have reached an agreement with Lee Evans then…

We have been saying it all along. The Bills had leverage, Peters did not. We all knew this was going to happen.

Great news, GO BILLS!

Why hold out this long? It was apparent a long time ago to everyone that the Bills were not going to talk to Peters about a new contract until he reported. What a waste of time this has been for Peters. Are we going to forgive all the fines?

finally some good news. Bring him in, get him up to speed and let’s win some games. This does wonders to the O-line and provides the depth they will need. And maybe it will be a good thing as Chambers and Walker got some new experience and are better equiped to handle any injuries during the season.

Now if only the Bills reversed the decision on Crowell

Finally, some good news! I think the coaching staff is smart not to play him this week.

More bad news for the "Hawks. Their starting RT (Sean Locklear) is not expected to play Sunday.

Peters doesn’t have a contract but I’m sure he has a commitment. Without that commitment I think he would’ve stayed out and hoped for a trade eventually. A trade would’ve given us something, but a team could draft an OL first rounder year after year (and take on all the financial risk) and still not get an all pro like Peters.

This is from John Clayton’s write-up, and contrasts directly with what we’ve been hearing from the team. Who’s right?

Once Peters reports, talks are expected to start for a new contract. Peters, who has three years remaining on his contract, sat out the entire preseason, with the Bills refusing to reopen contract talks with him until he reported.

“Protecting the quaterback’s blind side since 2006”

I don’t care what gave…I’m just glad he’s back. I wonder if he heard about Crowell and was like “O isht!….these guys really are serious…..I better my @ss get back!”

Seriously though, this is great news. I am just curious to hear what exactly were Peter’s reasons for choosing to hold in such a seclusive manner, where he was, etc. Hopefully we’ll here more as the week goes. Although he is a notoriously quiet person, I hope we get some background info on the situation (from Peters) to end all of crazy theories we all have conjured up on the holdout.

Inquiring minds wanna know…..

I have to give props to Brandon and Co. I felt that they handled this situation correctly, and hopefully sent powerful word to our current players and maybe even the rest of the league.

I hope they stand firm and collect the fines already imposed on Peters, but I would not be upset if Jason had a new contract before the end of year. Now get ’er done with Lee and make me proud Russ!

The Bills will know what kind of shape Peters is by tomorrow afternoon. If they don’t slap him on IR (Nyuck! Nyuck! Nyuck!) they’ll be able to judge whether he can play week 2. If he can, the arrangement of the line becomes an interesting question for week 1. I’d be sorely tempted to flip Walker and Chambers for this game. You can make the case that the continuity would be better leaving it as is since they’ve played a couple of preseaon games with the current alignment. I’m more interested in continuity going forward and would rather see Walker at RG this week.

The NFL will grant the Bills a two-week roster exemption for Peters, meaning he won’t count against their 53-man limit while he works himself back into shape. Once the exemption expires, Peters will have to be activated and a player will have to be released to make room.

Hope he is ready when the Raiders come to town, but with a new offense, playbook etc, that might be hopeful thinking – especially if he is not in shape.
