| August 2, 2008 Jaguars linebacker Mike Peterson has gone public with his desire for a new contract, according to the AP. I want to get paid for it because this is my job. If I was playing the game and had another job, it would be different. I don't want no more than I'm worth," Peterson said. |

| May 13, 2008 Mike Peterson is expected to return to his starting post at middle linebacker this season following a wrist injury that caused him to miss the 2007 playoffs, and he commented on the new season, according to Jaguars.com. Peterson said, "This is the NFL. You have to prove yourself every time you strap up. Ive never been handed anything. Competing for a job, reassuring the coaches. I dont have a problem with that at all. The ball is not in my court (for a potential new contract). Im trying to do everything the right way. Im trying to stay positive. Hopefully, theyll step up to the plate and take care of the deal. Anybody associated with me knows I want to be here. Theres going to be a time and a place that business is going to take precedent over my football family. It is a business. Im a grown man. I can handle it either way. Ive seen it all in this league. I can swallow either pill. I know I have a lot of football left in me. My approach is Im going to handle my business on the field. I dont want to get into the whining thing." |
| April 1, 2008 Mike Peterson is expected to step back into his starting middle linebackers job, following a late-season wrist injury that caused him to miss the playoffs, according to Jaguars.com. I think its safe to say Mike remains a starter. Justin Durant is a good football player. Clint Ingram is a good football player. And Daryl Smith is an outstanding football player, head coach Jack Del Rio said. Peterson, 31, still produces at a high level when healthy, but keep in mind he has missed 17 games during the past two seasons due to various injuries. |

Peterson said he plans to play, but like Del Rio point out, his wishes are moot until doctors clear him to hit the field. |
| January 2, 2008 Mike Peterson (hand) will not play this weekend against Pittsburgh, Jack Del Rio has confirmed. The team isn't placing Peterson on injured reserve, however; the Jags are hoping that Peterson would be available in a week if Jacksonville is able to advance. |
