Former Razorback and current Buffalo Bills lineman Jason Peters has lately been absent from "official team activities" such as practices and workouts. The activities are voluntary, but usually team members make their way out to at least a few of them. Peters, however, has been a no-show. The reason? Jason Peters wants a raise:

Peters is scheduled to make $3.3 million this year. That includes a $100,000 escalator he hit for making the Pro Bowl last season.

There is little doubt Peters will want to become the Bills' highest-paid lineman and one of the top-paid linemen in the league. The New York Jets in March signed guard Alan Faneca to the richest free-agent deal for a linemen - at an average of $8 million a year. The top-paid veteran left tackle in the NFL is St. Louis' Orlando Pace, at $7.55 million. Seattle's Walter Jones is at $7.5 million a year. Both of those deals, however, were signed in 2005.

The Pro-Bowler has three years left on his contract. Mandatory team activities begin on June 3.
