They're going to have to do SOMETHING.
They can't go into the season with Remmers or Rankin (who apparently can't beat out Remmers) at LT.
If you think you can get 10 games out of Peters I guess you could do that.
But I'd rather a guy like that was insurance, and you had talented youth in the house.

I get that.
But in your scenario, the most likely "something" is them signing him to a deal that's cut friendly after 1 year.
I don't see any reason why Eric Fisher would agree to that at all. You'd think he'd just sit on his ass and get paid. They can't cut him, he has all the leverage.
I think the more likely scenario, given that they need some of his cap hit back, is that they resign him to a deal that gives him more long-term security. Which means HE is the long-term plan and a LT in the draft is no longer an option.
