Multiple sources, including Keith Brown, have confirmed that the Eagles have stolen, I mean obtained, Jason Peters, from the Buffalo Bills. The sources indicate that Philly gave up the 28th pick in this years draft, a 4th round pick in either this years draft or next years draft, plus a late round pick in this year's draft. The Eagles still have the 21st pick in this years draft.
Jason Peters, a 27-year old undrafted, former tight end from Arkansas, has blossomed into one of the best left tackles in football. This trade stems from the Bills unwillingness to re-negotiate with Peters, who is due just under $4 million this year and becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2010. Given what the Eagles gave up in the trade, it is likely they will re-negotiate his contract.
The trade will not be official until Peters has undergone an physical and the Eagles have negotiated with Peters.
