Eagles trade first round pick and more for Bill's Peters
You can write off the Eagles from the Boldin trade marketplace.
The Buffalo Bills have traded Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com.
In exchange for Peters, the Bills receive the Eagles’ 28th overall pick of the first round as well as a second-day draft pick in this year’s draft and a late-round draft pick in 2010.
Peters has been unhappy with his contract and hasn’t been attending the Bills’ offseason activities after staging a holdout last summer at training camp.
Presumably, Peters will be seeking a new deal from his new employers.
The Eagles needed an offensive tackle after starter Tra Thomas left in free agency. Jon Runyan is a free agent and has been battling injuries.

Eagles Acquire Jason Peters

The Eagles have acquired Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters from the Bills for the 28th overall pick in next week's draft, FOXSports.com has learned.
Buffalo will also receive a second-day pick in this year's draft, as well as a late-round pick in the 2010 draft.
Peters held out before the start of the 2008 season, missing Buffalo's entire training camp and all four of the team's preseason games. Peters ended his holdout before the regular season began, with the Bills never giving in to his contract demans.
Peters, 27, has made the Pro Bowl the last two seasons, and was an All-Pro selection in 2007.

well take them off the Boldin list. Peters wants to be highest paid OT in the game and I doubt they're going to shell out two mega-contracts in a weeks time.

I don't think this takes them off the table at all. They need to win now. Another rookie WR doesn't help. They still have their higher first available.
Besides, I think a Boldin-McNabb connection would thrive. Which is best that we don't send Boldin over there.

Money will be spent on giving Peters a big OT contract. |

1. Philly got fleeced for the most overrated OT in the NFL. Rumor is its a 1,3 and a 2010 pick that can be as high as a 3rd if he goes to the pro bowl.
2. Philly is without a doubt not in the running for Boldin. For many reasons. Ried loves his draft picks and will not leave this draft with no 1st rounders left for him to use. They will not be working on getting a deal done with two high priced players at once in Peters and Boldin.

Except, they do not have much to offer that we would want now. |

Agree with everything you say. Eagles are off the Boldin trade list for sure. |

agreed, just think what we could have gotten for Big back in the day. He was better than Peters anyday. Hell, Gandy is better than Peters. |

Boldin is going to be a cardinal next season...

After this move, I bet that Eagles take RB with first pick.
