Lori Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The NFL source said he expected the Eagles to give Peters a contract that will make the undrafted Arkansas tight end quite happy. ...sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 One of the worst deals I've seen. Pay the franchise LT franchise LT money. We will never have a winning organization with this type of bs attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Not happy with the compensation. Wanted more...the 20th instead of the 28th, and a 3rd instead of a 4th. Not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 This is awful, simply awful. Who the F--- is going to play LT now? How about LG? You finally find a pro bowl LT after searching since 1993 (wil Wolford) and now this is how you treat the man? This organization is completely ridiculous. Yeah, we saved $1.5 million, cash to cap wahhhh!!!! We have draft picks!!! Wahhh....friggin ridiculous. This is the first day in my 33 years of life I can honestly say I am friggin embarassed to be a Bills fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoking things - could the Bills be thinking about packaging and moving up? I'd hope not, they need as many picks as they can get. At this point, use the #11 on Andre Smith or Oher, use 28 on Pettigrew if he's there or the best DE available (Johnson, Brown, Ayers, etc).

Avalanche Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 At least he's gone. He did not want to play in Buffalo. It will be interesting to see what kind of contract the Eagles give him.

VJ91 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-7-83/...for-Peters.html Well, the Bills actually did better then I thought they would. They actually got the second of Philly's first round picks in next weeks' draft and a fourth rounder. Since they were really just trying to dump his Peters and his salary demands, I thought for sure they would not even get either first round pick from the Eagles this season. So now Langston Walker can officially mover back over to the left side for good, and the Bills can draft a kid to compete for the starting right tackle spot. I wonder how warm and fuzzy Trent Edwards is feeling about this decision to save money?? Next, I can't wait to see what the Eagles sign him for. Anybody want to bet that he will get his 11 Million per season that so many die hard fans out here think he doesn't deserve?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Seemed like this was an inevitability...oh well, now they move on. Stoking things - could the Bills be thinking about packaging and moving up? Well Cinci, that would mean (among other things) that they would potentially lose the opportunity to fill two needs and only fill one need instead. And moving up would reduce the amount of money they would "save" by trading Peters. We just created another need that we have to fill. So at #11 we take a tackle? And at #28 we take Pettigrew? So we won't draft a pass rusher till #42? Like I said earlier, I'm disappointed in the compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pBills Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Great deal. Having two first round picks and a 4th, plus a conditional next year. Glad they got rid of the problem child. Only way that could have been better is if they got the 1st and the Philly TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Please. THIS is the day you are humiliated? Not the countless on the field mishaps or flops? Nope, never humiliated. My team played and lost, it happens. Its football. You weren't embarrassed after they kept Jauron? You must be one of those people who kept their season tickets. Nope, not at all. My opinion on Jauron would never have made me embarassed to be a fan of this team like today did. Believe me, I have never made a statement like that before and don't take it lightly. This trade proves that there is absolutely no commitment to winning from that organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Please. THIS is the day you are humiliated? Not the countless on the field mishaps or flops? They would not be the Buffalo Bills if they did not repeatedly break my heart. Usually, they do it during the season. This time they let the Eagles fleece us. At a minimum, it should have been the 21st pick in the draft and a third -- at a minimum. Instead, we gave the Eagles a left tackle that they never would have been able to get with the 21st or the 28th pick in the draft. At best (for the Eagles), they would have had to package both their 21st and 28th pick in the draft to get in the top of the draft to have a chance at one of the top three left tackles in the draft -- all of which are unproven commodities. Horrible deal by the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Tim any idea what the conditional pick next year hinges on? I wanted a first and a third this year too. But if next years pick turns out to be a third rounder, then would not be a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Good riddance. I'd like to know the terms of that conditional pick next year. Me too.

BeastMode54 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 28th pick is like a second rounder. FOR A PRO-BOWL LEFT TACKLE?!! Agreed, we should have gotten their first pick in the first round and a 3rd. I'm SO PISSED RIGHT NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Would have liked to see more compensation, but glad it is over and glad he is gone.

Horrible deal by the Bills. Do you think the Bills had any other options? What other NFL team needs a LT, has that much cap space and that many picks to work with? Its not like the Bills could have said "Well, The Raiders are willing to give us so and so...you need to increase your offer" I honestly think Philly was the only team interested with what Peters' was selling. Do I think we could have gotten a third instead of a fourth? Maybe. Either way, its not that far off from what I expected. No way in hell Peters would have netted us two first rounders, absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddoublee Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 If Peters was in the draft pool, the lions most likely would have taken him first overall. Now I know we were not trading him to a top ten pick team-but the 28th pick is horrible compensation. less than likely to replace him w a probowl caliber player there-or at 11. draft is a crap shoot, and we traded a sure thing. frustrating.
