Bills and Eagles Agree On Trade - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tired of trying to re-sign two-time Pro Bowl tackle Jason Peters, the Buffalo Bills have agreed in principle to trade him to the Philadelphia Eagles for three draft picks -- a first- and fourth-rounder in this year's draft and a sixth-rounder in 2010.

The deal, sources said, is contingent on Peters working out a new contract with the Eagles and passing a physical.

The Eagles have two first-round draft picks and would surrender the second, or 28th overall, in the deal for Peters. Initially, one source close to the Eagles said, Buffalo considered making the trade for a first- and third-rounder this year but, in the end, held out for three draft picks to give the Bills more flexibility.

Peters, who has two years left on his contract with Buffalo, had been seeking a long-term deal with the Bills that would average $11.5 million to $12 million a year, sources said. The Bills had been in talks with him since he returned last September from a holdout but had made such little progress that the club recently resolved to consider dealing him.

Sources said the club never had serious offers until late Thursday, when the Eagles approached them about making a deal.

With Peters gone, the Bills can work on repairing their offensive line through the draft. They now have the 11th and 28th choices, and you would figure that one of those would be exercised on an offensive lineman -- presumably a tackle. In the meantime, the short-term solution is to move last year's best pass blocker, Langston Walker, to left tackle to protect Trent Edwards' back and move Demetrious Bell to right tackle to take Walker’s spot.

Walker started one game at left tackle last season, playing there in Peters' absence. He was the team's starting right tackle the remainder of the year. Veteran Kirk Chambers is also a possibility -- but at either tackle. He played at right tackle for the season opener, then was the starter at left tackle for the Bills' last two games.

The departure of Peters ends a yearlong drama with the Bills and the 2007 and '08 Pro Bowl pick at odds over a new contract. The Bills had signed Peters to a generous five-year, $15 million extension shortly after he took over for Mike Williams at right tackle, but he demanded more last season after the club paid Walker and Derrick Dockery lucrative contracts as free agents.

He didn't attend last year's minicamps and he didn't make it to training camp, either, finally showing up Sept. 6 after the club insisted it would not talk about a new deal until he returned. Little headway was made on a deal, and Peters played poorly -- both factors in the club's decision to rid itself of a good player who had become a headache.

This is cool but we NEED those draft picks to get Boldin, and or the kid from Cleveland as well.....if this is all we're doing, I am not satisfied but it's a good start at least.

Another wideout is what Philly needs.

DeSean Jackson seems to be a good start- they have to build around him.

That could allow for more space to open up for Westbrook, as well as a decoy.

(BTW, I'm picking Philly to win the NFC East in 2009.)

According to the news on all the stations around here , Baltimore is the frontrunner for Boldin. From what they're saying it might take a #1 and #3.

That's interesting lol. I didn't think Baltimore was the frontrunner in all of this. Yeah and the Eagles just gave up their # 1 pick, to GET that possible big name wide receiver lol, in Boldin or Edwards.

Sometimes ya gotta repalce big names on the o line and protect, before you even get the chance to throw to the big name receivers if you have it....so it wasn't the worst way to give away a first rounder haha

First and foremost, I'm straight- in every sense of the word (and like nice looking women, not fatties) lol. And no, you root for 3 teams. Don't play it down.

You're a sports fraud, to take a quote from your book....except I'm not and you are, because I root for all the teams from where I'm from, bad or good every year, instead of the best teams from the each of the big markets in the US like you do...aha

I know it's no over, so many people including the media always getcarried away when a team goes up 2-0. Especially in hockey, it's easier to come back from a 3-0 deficit, You get down 0-3 in the NBA you can forget it
