Eh, we see this every off season with the fan favorite vet getting cut. Honestly, Peters is on the downswing of his career, and I can't blame the team for wanting to push the younger talent.
And no, Peters won't be the difference between a Super Bowl or not. Lamar Jackson, and the young talent stepping up will be.

I'm not sure I buy that? It's certainly possible, but Peters had been a guy in press conferences talking about wanting to retire here. Talked about how it was a Renaissance coming here.
Then this offenseason be had multiple posts like "wish I was out there with my guys" which were comments to our guys.
It's totally possible that something soured. Maybe it was all money? Maybe something else. But to the point of not being salvageable? Idk
Sounds like that public blowup on the sideline was one of multiple throughout the season. They gave it the good PR of course.
Would say that it may not necessarily be ill will on either side either. May be that the sides just needed a fresh start.

I agree that it is fun to look at the rookies fighting for the dream of an NFL career, and see them play their hearts out. But the chance that any of them will have any impact in a real game in 2023 is so incredibly slim, so my list was mostly about players that will have a shot at getting playing time
I wouldve never letting him go, especially not this season. His personality and iq is very well needed for this defense right now. That alone may not be enough to keep someone but right now its needed
im more thinking about the pat mekari, michael pierce, pat ricard, gus edwards of the past
the guys who you dont hear a ton about in training camp but who suddenly explode through preseason

Will he be similar to MP last year? What’s a good comp?
he had a couple decent seasons. One of them was really good and I agree we shouldn't expect that. He even played good down the stretch 2nd half of the season for Washington in 2021. If he can be average at a reasonably inexpensive salary and have some upside, I'd be good with that. I'm certainly hoping RYS can have a good season and JAD can surprise. I was ok with JAD in college and thought he had some upside.

Corners and pass rushers are almost always the difference. Each final four typically has qbs and offenses that can win it all, the team with the hottest corners and pass rushers tend to be the ones that make it over the hump
think that was partly on the RB running the wrong route
but should have just thrown it in the dirt and killed the play
it's a mistake but not as bad as it looks initially

I am always going to start at the line.

The team with the hot pass rushers is usually the reason this matters

Does anyone here remember Joe flacco’s first preseason series?

Absolutely not lol. That play was just ugly. This was more in response to the media who have been dooming Stroud based on his first game. I expect they're going to make a big deal of Richardson's too.
In general though a huge amount of interceptions being thrown this preseason

And that's my thing. Father Time was slowly catching up to him. I would've preferred re-signing not only for depth but for veteran presence but it's understandable.
he got a well earned 3 year 21m deal with 11m guaranteed
completely remade himself last year
