As soon as Brian Baldinger tweeted that there was a move coming that would make the Eagles ‘a lot better’, speculation soared. But for those who had hopes of a blockbuster trade, there was always the underlying suspicion that the team were bringing back a familiar face. That’s ultimately what happened, with the Eagles announcing on Tuesday morning that offensive lineman Jason Peters is set to return.
Peters returns on a contract worth $6M. This in itself is notable considering his last deal was actually worth $8.6M. We know for a fact that Peters had starting offers from other teams and it was reported that he was holding out for a potential Eagles return.
