Glazer: Eagles to acquire Jason Peters from Bills
According to a report by Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com, the Eagles have struck a deal with the Bills to acquire left tackle Jason Peters in exchange for the 28th overall pick and a fourth round pick in this year’s draft, as well as a conditional 2010 draft pick.
Even though they still own another first round pick, this move would suggest that Philly won’t make a play for Anquan Boldin now. Eagles’ GM Tom Heckert has said all along that Philly’s receiving corps is set and apparently that might not have been a smokescreen after all.
If the Eagles can sign Peters to a long-term deal, this is a great trade. They still own the 21st pick in the first round and they filled a massive need at the left tackle position, which became an issue when Tra Thomas wasn’t re-signed.
Obviously this is a nice deal for the Bills too, although now they need a left tackle. At No. 11, they could have the opportunity to land Ole Miss’s Michael Oher, or Alabama’s Andre Smith if either of them fall out of the top 10. Some pundits believe that Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew would be Buffalo’s pick at No. 11, but that always seemed highly unlikely. If the Eagles pass on him at No. 21, the Bills might have a shot to land Pettigrew at No. 28.

I cant stress enough how much i love this move by the Philadelphia Eagles. You needed a OL and who else better to get than Pro Bowl tackle Jason Peters…Ive seen him play multiple times while Buffalo is getting beatne by someone and everytime Marshawn LYnch made a play Jason Peters was the catalyst for it…PLus i know the eagles wanted Michael Oher but there wasnt no guarantee that he would be there at 21..SO why not trade for a Pro Bowl OT…So now the eagles can focus on getting either people…I say they Draft Kenny Britt WR/ Rutgers… I think he can give you the playmaker ability of DeShawn Jackson With the height and hands of a Possesion receiver..Hakeem Nicks could go here but there are red flags about his work ethic and he being in shape…But look out the NFC East the Eagles have said we are not out of the division
