In 2004, the Buffalo Bills signed Jason Peters as an undrafted rookie free agent. In 2006, Peters prevailed over former Texas standout Mike Williams to start at right tackle for the Bills.
Peters received compensation for his performance, which resulted in the Bills offering him a $15 million, 5-year contract in the offseason. Peters was firmly established as the starting right tackle in 2007 as the season started.
The Bills changed up their offensive line after Week 7 in order to better safeguard quarterback J. P. Losman. Mike Gandy was transferred inside and replaced by Peters at left tackle.
