IT NEVER seemed likely Jason Peters would leave the Eagles this year, and sure enough, the NFL Network reported Thursday that Peters will remain, at his current salary-cap figure of $11.2 million.
That's the team's highest cap charge, and the Eagles would have liked to reduce it; they approached Peters' agent, Vincent Taylor, about some sort of pay cut/restructuring, but didn't press the matter. Indications are that Peters' camp has been told that it has now been dropped.
Peters, 35, is a nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle who is one of the best players in franchise history.
