This Bowe thing...

His agent probably isn't doing him any favors but every bit as much is on Peterson. With a couple recent rare exceptions like Tamba last year Peterson is usually one of the last GM's able to get his 1st rounders into camp. Obviously his negotiation style and people skills leave a lot left to be desired.

It is hard to put too much on the agent when the same thing happens nearly every year regardless as to who the agent might be.

hmm...I thought Sims was the only holdout in several years...

That's right. At least LJ, DJ, and Hali were all in on time.

I know Tamba was in on time and I pretty sure you are correct about DJ. I don't remember if LJ was or not. Time rips by when you start to get old. But regardless I would be quite certain that Peterson would rank very near the bottom of the NFL based on the average time it takes to sign first round picks.

Went back and looked it up and actually I was wrong...LJ was done well before camp and DJ was actually done a little late after camp had started.

So I think only LJ and Tamba were signed before camp kicked off in recent history.
