In short, the FO is looking to get anyone that will play for, what will be or close to, league minimum. My opinion is that he is wayyy past his prime, injury prone more so than Smith and will probably present more of a threat to Dak than protection as opposing defenses will key on Peters with a younger, quicker and at this point in his career, stronger player. But, I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I could be wrong. Old man started 15 games last season for a Chicago and graded out as their best Lineman. He is quality insurance over what we have right now. He could arguably be our 2nd best lineman as of signing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Cowboy Fan Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I feel like Jerry and Co are committed to Tyler Smith at LT. Is there a chance we play Peters at LG, and have his as our primary swing tackle should someone get hurt? As long as he’s inside it would protect his old *** vs the young we faster edge guys.

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think if you thought you could get a better situation than this at the beginning of September, you were kidding yourself. This is a great signing. At minimum, added another great mentor for Tyler Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northland Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 He's a better option than anyone else on the roster. More importantly between Tyron Smith and Peter's, young master Tyler Smith will get some excellent counsel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheatieMan Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Tyler Smith pick once again proves that Jerry's team is genius or among the best in the business. Just hasn't translated to finding the coach or picking high enough to land a HoF QB. But talent evaluation and drafting for need has been spot on for the past ten years and above average since the Campo years. You can go back to Randy Moss. Highest rated player they've ever rated and to date the most talented player to have ever played the game.
