Jason Peters returning to the NFC East?!

Jason Peters as a member of the Dallas Cowboys?!

It simply may occur.

The previous Eagles franchise left deal with is scheduled to satisfy with Philadelphia’s largest NFC East rival for a free agent go to. This a lot based on a report from Todd Archer.

The Cowboys have a gap at left deal with with Tyron Smith suffering a serious injury that can reportedly preserve him out till at the very least December and presumably trigger him to overlook your complete 2022 NFL season.

As beforehand famous, there was a lot consternation concerning the Cowboys’ deal with depth PRIOR to Smith getting damage. There is no such thing as a apparent plug-and-play in-house substitute in Dallas. That’s, at the very least, on the subject of confirmed choices. The Cowboys can shift rookie first-round decide Tyler Smith to left deal with since he performed that place in school. However he’s been taking reps at left guard all summer time and he had a severe challenge with holding penalties whereas taking part in within the AAC final yr. Is the 21-year-old actually prepared to begin out on the sting?

Peters, who turns 41 this coming January, may not appear to be a greater different. He was clearly a legendary expertise in his prime however ageing and accidents have taken a toll. Regardless of this, Peters did handle to begin 15 video games for the Chicago Bears final yr. And, for what it’s price, he truly ranked because the NFL’s twenty second finest offensive deal with by Professional Soccer Focus’s grading.

However, once more, he’s hardly dependable. Eagles followers know this all too effectively from when Peters was continually out and in of the lineup as a consequence of nagging damage points. The Cowboys signing him is hardly a slam dunk resolution to their issues.

Whereas I can’t blame JP for capitalizing on an opportunity to earn more money, it definitely could be a bummer to see an Eagles legend sporting a Cowboys uniform. In fact, he’d hardly be the primary. The nice Harold Carmichael performed his final recreation with Dallas. Randall Cunningham performed his penultimate NFL season for the Cowboys.
