Eagles ask Jason Peters to take pay cut

We need to do both. Get a quality stop gap and draft someone to mold behind them. Let's face it, there seem to be no Day 1 starters at LT in the draft. Need a solid vet and develop someone behind him. If we're going to get back to the playoffs, we can't have both Oher and Remmers as starting tackles.

I don't think we'd have to trade for Peters. I think if he fails to renegotiate, the feeling is that he will be released. I may be off on that, but I remember researching available OTs for us, and came across a few Philly papers/blogs that mentioned him being gone this offseason because of his contract. 

I would take a 34 year old Peters as a FA and then draft another OT later in the draft to groom behind him. I do wonder how much worse Riley Reiff would be though.... he's 6 years younger. Would we rather have 2 years of Peters or 4-5 of Reiff?

Wouldn't necessarily be mutually-exclusive moves, and Peters could (and probably does) have a few quality years left. Get the starter, develop the younger guy, add depth, gain draft and FA flexibility.

Depends on his value.  What is is contract worth at the moment?  He has lost a step so just like Whitworth, he would have a value to the Panthers but not sure it would be in a trade.  Probably wait till he is released and hope the Charlotte area would help get a small discount

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
