Carl Peterson Guy Quotations

He was the highest rated guy on our board without any question. We were looking for defensive backs and players who can set the tone.

There was one guy out there with a football after a Saturday walk-through and it was Priest, ... He's practicing scoring a touchdown, catching the football, turning and running to the pylon in slow motion. The next game he catches a pass, runs to the pylon and I say to myself, 'I've seen this play before.'

I think it's only smart to retain your own best players first, and then if you have the money and the cap dollars (remaining) to go after free agents. You don't want those guys to ever get to the last year of their contract for fear that you might lose them to free agency.

I asked Dick if they'd asked him if he was interested in the (Redskins) job, ... Dick said they did, and then he said, 'But I couldn't work for a guy like Dan Snyder.'
