In other NFL news Jason Peters 43 announces his retirement after 21 years as a premier LT.

Originally an Undrafted FA TE in 2004 the Bills signed him to the PS and elevated him to Special Teams.

For 2005 he became the Bills starting LT earning two Pro Bowls and two 2nd Team All Pro's

The Bills got cheap and refused to play the man what he was worth and after a camp hold out in 2008 he was traded to the Eagles in 2009 for 1st 4th and 6th rnd picks.

The 1st would be used on Center Eric Wood the other two picks were scrubs.

Signing a massive at the time 6 year 60m deal he went on to gather accolades as one of the best LT's the game has ever known.

9x Pro bowl

2 x 1st team AP

4x 2nd Team AP

1x SB ring

2010 All decade Team

More than 120m in career earnings he is a lock for the HOF

I was really bummed out when the Bills messed up and didn't pay this massive man and the playoff drought continued for another 8 years getting to 17 years total with plenty of other bone headed blunders.

Thankfully the new regime is making up for all that wasted time and talent with playoffs in 6 of 7 years and 5 straight AFCE titles with 2 AFCC Championship games
