Jason Peters opens up about his future in the NFL
One of this generation's elite offensive lineman isn't ready to hang up his cleats just yet.
Indeed, former Bears Tackle Jason Peters made an appearance on the SiriusXMShow yesterday and he took to opportunity to open up on his future in the NFL.
said he's been staying in shape and waiting for a team to come calling. And he's not just looking to join a club that's contending for a Super Bowl in 2022.
«I just let my agent talk to those teams and he'll hit me and let me know who's interested and who's not,» Peters said. «Looking for an upcoming offensive line, good team � or a playoff team. Either/or is good for me, because I can pass my torch on to some guys who are trying to get better, the younger guys, the new generation. Or if I get on a team with some vets, they already know how I rock, and we can just go into the playoffs and make a run and try to win another ring.
«But right now, either way is good for me because I can teach or I can sit back and listen and learn from other veterans who have played this game, too. So either way is good.»
Peters added that he doesn't have a time frame for when he'd like to put pen to paper on a contract.
«Whenever the opportunity comes, I'm going to give it one more run at it and try to get me another ring, or pass on some knowledge to these young kids, up and coming,» Peters said. «But I don't have a time frame on when I'm going to get signed. You know, last year, it was two-and-a-half weeks into training camp. So whenever the time comes, I'll be ready.»
