The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to trade for Buffalo Bills left tackle Jason Peters early Friday, according to multiple sources.

Andy Reid talks with Scott Hanson about the Eagles' new additions and expectations for the coming season.
By Friday night, , according to a source, Peters had signed a four-year extension worth $53 million in new money. The Eagles acquired him with two years remaining on his Bills contract. In total, Peters will make $60 million over the next six seasons.
For Peters, the Bills will receive a first-round pick (28th selection overall), a fourth-rounder in next weekend's draft and a sixth-round pick in 2010, according to a source.
"Jason Peters is the best left tackle in football," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "He is a powerful and athletic tackle and I have admired his play over the last few years on film. I have always believed that success in the NFL is derived from the strong play of the offensive and defensive lines. This offseason we have added two young, top-flight offensive linemen in Jason and Stacy Andrews."
For more than a year, Peters had been in a contract stalemate with the Bills. He's made two Pro Bowls at left tackle and wants to become one of the highest-paid players at his position -- at an annual salary of possibly more than $11 million.
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 328 pounds, Peters completed his sixth season last year and is scheduled to make $3.375 million for the coming season. Last year he held out of training camp, but the decision did not get him a new contract. Peters is signed through 2010 and can then become a free agent.
A great success story for the Bills, Peters was an undrafted tight end out of Arkansas. After his rookie season, Peters was converted into an offensive lineman, and started 10 games at right tackle in 2005. He moved over to the left side midway through the following season. Buffalo eventually turned him into one of the best left tackles in the game.
By landing Peters, the Eagles fill an immediate hole on their offensive line after left tackle Tra Thomas signed with Jacksonville in free agency last month. The Eagles still have a first-round pick, the 21st overall.
Without Peters, the Bills have another need to address in either free agency or the draft. Buffalo was already in the midst of revamping its offensive line after releasing left guard Derrick Dockery and electing not to re-sign centers Duke Preston and Melvin Fowler in February.
The Bills, coming off their third straight 7-9 season, have added Geoff Hangartner, who is expected to take over at center, and versatile journeyman Seth McKinney in free agency.
By acquiring the 28th pick from Philadelphia, Buffalo will now have three of the first 42 selections in the draft, including the 11th overall. Aside from offensive line, the Bills have specific needs on defense, including adding a lineman or outside linebacker.
Right tackle Langston Walker is a candidate to take over for Peters. Walker filled in on the left side during Peters' holdout last year, and in Buffalo's opener.
Peters was fined by the Bills more than $600,000 for missing mandatory minicamp and all of training camp last year before reporting to the team a day before Buffalo's season opener. It's not clear whether Peters paid those fines.
Sweet deal for the Eagles. A top lineman who's young and one of the best tackles when motivated for only the no.28 pick.
You should have said left tackle. There is only one "LT" in da game. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
The Eagles need to fire Andy Reid and trade McNubb if they want to go anywhere

Eagles with McNabb = Playoff team
Eagles without McNabb (Kevin Kolb lolz) = Potentially last place in NFC East
Just wondering Sean, but do you think Eagles would be better off with Kolb as starter? I think we all know how that worked out last year. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
And as far as all the McNabb hate, he is still one of the premier QBs in the league. He's had a couple of off years since his injury but he is still a great QB and Philly would be worse without him.
BTW I am biased as far as McNabb goes since he is one of my favorite players in the NFL and has been since he was a rookie.

Oh Kolb isn't any better. IN fact they both are shit. McNabb only gets hated in Philly because He can't bring us the big one.
