the bills would have the upper hand. if trent wants a new deal before his current contract is up, he has no options but to sit out if he does not like the offer or even gets an offer. further more, after his deal ends and he is a rfa if the bills give him a qualifying offer and he decided to go somewhere else, buffalo make out with multiple draft picks.
jason peters is a bad example to use as it comes down to the team became sour on his attitude, play, and/or potential and the guy was making a money grab right after signing a contract.
Three false start penalties for Jason Peters against the saints. he must be thinking about his NEXT contract. or maybe the pro-bowler is still rusty from missing last years camp and preseason.
