A typical Peterson move. What a clever GM we have.

Yeah, whether intended or not, it's an interesting turn.
LJ was leverage against Priest, now Priest is leverage against LJ.
I don't think it'll have much impact on the LJ negotiations, though. If Priest is still able to contribute (and to me that's a big "if") I'd think it would be in a very limited role.
That said it could be huge. Priest does well in the areas LJ is lacking. Blocking, receiving, etc. He could be a fantastic change of pace, not to mention lightening the load on LJ.
This is nothing but good news. Worst case scenario, he can't play anymore, and we're no worse off then we were yesterday.
