‘Peters was asked if his contract situation affected his play last year. "A little bit," Peters said. "I was thinking about it sometimes. If you get beat on a play and you think about your contract … It doesn’t affect me that much. I thought about it some early in the year, but later on in the year it wasn’t a big deal." Sounds to me that if a defender blew past Peters on a particular play, Peters could shrug it off with the notion "Oh, well. I’m not getting paid enough anyway." You wonder how that attitude affected him every day in practice — once he showed up, that is.’
