how the FO approached the Peterson thing is curious
never offered him a contract (confirmed) and (speculation) sounds like they never really were interested
that sounds like it wasnt a $ issue but something else
one thing i noticed last year: several big plays were given up by the D where P2 came off his assignment to jump a route, only to see the ball go to his guy. (admitted - anecdotes arent data)
curious if he was viewed as unreliable or if the message to the team was "do your job" and here was a high priced guy not always doing his job.
also: i found Keim's constant talk of "leadership" when talking about the FA guys they brought in to be sub-tweeting last years vets. maybe P2 was one of them
because at $8mm per, its not cap reasons why he isnt here, and, as noted above, even as his lower level of play, he is better than the Alford option
