1 Reason for and against Eagles keeping Jason Peters one more year
The reasons for his dismissal are obvious.
The other side of the Peters debate is an easy one to argue.
Why should the Eagles part ways with ’71’? Why do teams normally get rid of great players? It’s simple actually, a man’s age and how much money he’s making or expecting to make would be the main reasons and the only reasons that make sense for a team to move on from a future Hall of Famer.
Peters’ deal expired at the end of this past season. No extension was placed on the table. No extension has been signed. Though the idea of Peters retiring as an Eagle qualifies as the ‘happy ending’, it doesn’t seem likely.
The Eagles may lose two cornerbacks, one of their top three wide receivers, another tackle outside of Peters, a running back or two, and maybe the team’s best safety. Who knows how things will turn out, but we can guarantee that the Eagles will look drastically different in 2020.

Philly’s got ten draft picks. They’ve got a ton of holes to fill with more holes coming, but they’ve also got a suitable replacement in Philly’s first-round selection from last year’s draft, the aforementioned Dillard. Though we all appreciate what Peters has done in the decade-plus that he’s been in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’, it’s time for the Eagles to move on. Only time will tell if they do so.
