Assuming that Peters continues to play at the level he has the last several seasons, this is a fine move. The contract, while large, is money well spent on such an important position. They do as good a job managing the cap as anybody so I don't agree that there is any sort of future risk of cap overload. And the cost in draftpicks is nothing they can't afford either, given the surfeit that they had going into this draft.

So while there is a legitimate risk of Peters not living up to his billing or growing complacent in wealth, these are risks that are manageable, and ultimately worth taking for the chance to secure a young truly elite LT.
