Older players or players working their way back from injury are offered one-year deals all the time. Again, Tony didn't have to accept it.
Depends. How old are they? What position do they play? BTW, a one year deal is an extension.
I wonder if Peterson's problems might cost him the HOF one day. I know that you're only supposed to consider on-field performance, but sports writers can be petty and vindictive when they want to.
