In the summer of 2008 there were increasing quarrels between Peters, who was dissatisfied with his contract, and the Bills. He stayed away from the preparation in part, was fined, but was then used in 13 games and was again called to the Pro Bowl.

He thanked his team with consistently good performances. With the exception of the 2012 season, in which he had to pass due to injury, he has been called up to the Pro Bowl every year. After Peters tore his cruciate ligament in the middle of the season in 2017, he was able to play again in all 16 games and 79% of the offensive snaps in 2018 .
