2. Jason Peters, Chicago Bears OL

This is another one that you cannot see with the new coaching staff. Fans like Jason Peters but have to remember why he came here. He was called off of a boat when he was thought he was retired. Who called him? Juan Castillo.

Juan Castillo works for Washington now. Castillo was the offensive line coach who signed Peters and started his Hall of Fame path with the Philadelphia Eagles. The two have a great relationship, and you could argue that Peters did Castillo a favor by leaving that boat and coming to Chicago.

Peters is a stud and a future Hall of Famer at tackle. The Chicago Bears may offer him some money to stick around, but Peters has made plenty of money in his day. When you get to his age you come back for friends and relationships like Peters did with Castillo. There is no chance that Peters is going to come back to Chicago now that the coaching staff has switched up, and he has no ties to the new coach.
