MPL Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Is a 40-year-old Jason Peters worth bringing in? He was surprisingly solid last year in 15 games for a pretty bad Bears team. We could certainly use some depth on the line, especially with some lingering questions about Spencer Brown's health this past Spring. The story kind of writes itself—Peters returns to the team that made him what he was, gets a ring, and helps make the sour taste he left in our mouths all those years ago a little less sour. https://www.nfl.com/news/free-agent-ot-jason-peters-keeping-himself-ready-as-camp-nears-whenever-the-time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 If the price is right (cheap) I could see Beane bringing him into camp for a look. If he has anything left in the tank then it could be a good depth signing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Is Marshawn Lynch available too? I know that Terrell Owens is in shape? Why not go all the way and see what Donte Whitner and Ko Simpson are doing these days? That way, we can have all of the Jauron-era malcontents back together again? 1 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all come as a package deal with Keith Ellison, but Keith Ellison has to be included. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’d bring him in and let him compete. He Could probably step in and play everything but center at a level higher than our current backups 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I couldn’t stand Keith Ellison as a player back then, I have to admit, as an undersized linebacker, he’d likely be viewed a bit differently if he played in todays NFL. Was ahead of his time. But man, he frustrated the hell out of me back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 A storybook ending to a hall of fame career. He comes back to Buffalo, changes positions back to TE, and has a career resurgence. He goes on to play 5 more years and breaks all of Lee Smiths records for touchdowns and receiving yards en route to winning 4 super bowls. 1 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How things have changed... Keith Ellison: 6'0" 229 lbs. Terrel Bernard: 6'1" 224 lbs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Maybe change the title of the post to "40-year old Jason Peters interested in one last-ditch effort at another paycheck" The team that actually signs him deserves what they get when he half asses and lunch-buffets his way through training camp, makes the active roster, then gets injured and goes on IR in Week 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Its good to see that after all this time people have gotten over Jason Peters and moved on. I guess time really does heal all wounds...well, almost all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be a bad time to point out that Peters has at least placed decent ball recently regardless of the age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 No. Not even as a depth piece. The perfect depth player is one who has a future, one who could potentially crack a future starting lineup. A 40 year old player is a dead-ender with no future. It would be a waste of a developmental roster spot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
