Jason Peters

[Nanker]

Naw. My take was that Corp00085 was giving props to Peters because he (himself - Peters) turned into something more than what was expected (UDFA TE =>Starting RT/LT). Turning water into wine is a metaphor gentlemen. I figured you missed that through the hairpin turn of Corp00085 going from wine to beer.

That is all. Class dismissed. This isn't the Lacanian real ya know.

I think Jason needs to get a new agent. Are you telling me that a guy who's a lock to be a starting RT is worth only $425K? That's absurd.

Get an education and start over, igmo! ('Igmo' is not a standard English word, but it has a ring to it and is particularly apt when describing sh---for-brains illiterates such as you!)

Geez dude, that's a bit harsh. I would have taken what he said as a compliment.

I don't think he meant any malice from it....though what do I know?

I'm in a bit of a quandry. What's another word for "thesaurus"?

Its basically an enforced deal the way the CBA is set up and the CBA is set-up the way it is:

 

1. Because the two parties involved finally after the owners kicked the NFLPAs butt in the lockout of the mid-80s and then the NFLPA finally with the desperate realization that the cards were stacked against them in a mano a mano fight understood the advice that by threatening to diestablish themselves the owners would be forced to cooperate rather than deal with a free market.

 

The CBA is essentially an agreement between the NFL and NFLPA to restrain trade and with the labor peace insured by the cooperation of restrained trade, the NFL made more money than it ever had. Finally in this last CBA the team owners were forced to split the profits with their workers in a method that recognizes the players are the majority revenue beneficiaries in this partnership.

 

The owners took this dimunition of the relationship because they make far more money within the labr peace this brings than they would if their were war.

 

2. Given these broad parameters the NFLPA is made up of vets not rookies and youngsters. They agreed to the restraint of trade device of the draft as long as it is set-up in a way to guarantee slotted top dollar to the picks and a player minimum which sets a base for building player salaries.

 

Under this system the high level draftees are slotted with huge salaries which drive up salaries for all players. The remainder of the draft and UDFAs get a minimum payment and harsh restaints on trades known as Exclusive Right Free Agency and then Restricted Rights Free Agency and then even Franchise Tags which save the owners from participating in a free market until a player really becomes a Vet.

 

By this time, the player salary does escate a bit as the best players get higher tenders in the Restricted FA period and there is a strong market incentive to extend players like Crowell.

 

However, as far as Peters is concerned he has only put in the time necessary to be an Exclusive Rights FA and having no negotiating ability or leverage it makes little difference who his agent is or what skills they have.

 

If he has a good season this year it makes sense for all parties to extend him and he can apply a little pressure though if the Bills give him the high tender he has little choice but to accept it. Even this will be the biggest paycheck he has ever gotten (just as the current tender is) and as booby prizes go it ain't bad.

You'll have to explain in detail what you've just written as, I don't get this at all.
