Peters gets a new deal

breaking a trend....

I sort of agree, but who knows? It is interesting to note that it happened at this point in time. I think that the Eagles got what they would like to accomplish out of this. Peters gets more guaranteed $ so he gets something out of the restructuring as well.

IMO, the most important thing out of all of this to note is that Peters has indicated his willingness to play at guard.

Now we (not they) need to get him a ring.

...Eagles allowing a veteran proven cornerstone player to finish out thier career in midnight green.......I like it.

Even more Peters at 35 is better than 85% than what the rest of league has to offer.

32.5 million guaranteed for a 35 year old injury prone (recently) tackle.

....codpiece father strikes again.

[TRENT]

he started all 16

but didn't finish 2 if I recall.... book end tackles are the Only reason we won so many games in the ought years,

I think they were trying to do it before when he turned it down ... these back-loaded deals are restructured all the time ... particularly with top players who are near the end of their careers.

The player gets guaranteed money ... the team gets the back-loaded salary from the prior deal off the cap and spreads out the guaranteed money.
