Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

Trade #21 for Peters

Right now the best move the Eagles can make at #21 would be to trade Picks #21, #53 and #85 plus Winston Justice to the Bills, and get back Jason Peters plus Picks #42 and #75.  Throwing in Winston Justice as a deal sweetener is also a possibility.

An O-Line of Peters - Andrews - Jackson - Andrews - Herremans would be transformative.  Even run-happy Andy wouldn't be able to resist running with that kind of run blocking prowess.  Westbrook - Weaver would thrive.  Drafting Moreno (at #28) and Quinn Johnson (in the 5th Round) in April would put in place the Eagles backfield of the future.

With pick #42 the Eagles would be picking early enough in the 2nd Round to be able to snag TE Shawn Nelson from Southern Mississippi to address the TE situation.  Further TE blocking help could come from signing RFA Quinn Sypniewski, which would only cost the Eagles their own 5th Round choice.

Peters, Moreno and Nelson would be major steps forward for the O.

Peters, Bills far apart on new contract – Eagles Mentioned

Not a lot of Jason Peters fans on this board anymore.

However, with all the pick swapping you mention, have you asked yourself if the Bills would want to give up Peters, plus position in the second and third round and take back Justice?

Maybe you have. To me that looks like a real Eagle-centric offer though.

I’m starting to really covet Pettigrew and an RB at 21 and 28 anyway, rather than OL. I try not to hope for particular guys on draft day, but …

Too much $$$

Much like Denver will now trade its headache QB, The Bills would jump on this offer (in large part because it’s way too much for Peters), but the Eagles are never going to pay him the $10-$11M per year Peters is looking for. He’s talented and would likely be an improvement over either Andrews of Herremans at LT, but only slightly and not enough to justify the contract he’s seeking. So unless he’s willing to accept Walter Jones as opposed to Jordan Gross money, this will never happen.

by weeryide on Apr 1, 2009 10:11 AM EDT up reply actions  

I have a sneaking suspicion that Peters will convert some of his demands to incentives when/if he escapes Buffalo. I certainly would expect Banner et.al. to create a contract where pay quality/quantity matches play quality/quantity.

Regarding the one year spike in sacks, he missed 100% of the minicamps, 100% of Training Camp, 100% of the preseason games, and reported on September 5th. He played his way into shape over the first half of the season. Look at what happened to Andrews when he missed Training Camp and the preseason. Bottom-line, a very understandable bad year.

We had discussion with a Bills writer regarding Peters this AM.

While some of the things he said about the way Peters has acted are troubling… He agrees with you that Peters would take less money to get out of Buffalo.

by JasonB on Apr 1, 2009 10:44 AM EDT up reply actions  

No I didn’t see it.

Re: Pettigrew, I see him as a safe pick, but not an inspiring pick. His blocking will improve some of our running play production, but I don’t see him having a significant impact in fixing our Red Zone woes. I would prefer Nelson or Cook, who can be taught how to block. Sypniewski has already shown he is a NFL quality blocking TE.

by mattwill on Apr 1, 2009 10:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

My main reservation with that plan would be… are you confident in the Eagles ability to teach a TE how to block? There’s certainly no evidence yet to support the idea that they can.

I goff at this assertation and point to LJ Smith and Brent Celek as proof of this excellent strategy… oh yeah… wait a second

Jason, the key tactic that addresses TE blocking is the RFA signing. Sypniewski has demonstrated excellent blocking skills/production in his tenure with the Ravens. I just don’t see accepting Pettigrew’s lesser speed and receiving skills just to get his improved blocking as a good tradeoff.

Drafting Lydon Murtha from Nebraska to be a developmental blocking TE wouldn’t be a bad option either.

by mattwill on Apr 1, 2009 3:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sypniewski tore his ACL off of the bone … is he even going to be ready to play by pre season? will this guy even get a chance to learn the playbook? I’d rather draft someone with that 5th round pick we’d lose signing a RFA.

pettigrew

is a stud and is better than celek .. celek is a nice second tight end to have .. but pettigrew is better in all aspects of the game .. hes bubba franks with better receiving skills .. no hes not gonna be a dominant pass catching TE like tony G or gates .. but he certainly can be as good as olsen and better than celek .. celek was amazing down the stretch but i think we are over rating him a bit

you are just talking to make noise. demps is a poor tackler. how many interceptions did he have last year? he was out there a lot. i’m not saying he can’t be a quality player down the line, but as of now. he’s not all that good. mikell should of been in the pro bowl. his numbers were great. you can be dismissive all you want. his production speaks for itself.

Chris Cooley round 3 2004
    Kellen Winslow, Ben Watson, Ben Troupe, Kris Wilson, Ben Harsock were taken before him

Those were the top 4 TEs this year … there were plenty of no names taken before those guys with the exception of Tony G. Let’s wait until he plays to anoint him king of TEs from this years draft.

I never said he was better then any of those guys. You clearly missed the point. I did mention Winslow actually … those were last years top 4 TEs in the league in receiving and then the TEs drafted before them in the same draft. My point is that just because someone is projected to be better or drafted high doesn’t mean they will be better in the NFL.

Your opinion is what it is but until it is substantiated by fact it is still nothing more then an opinion. As of right now Brent Celek is a better NFL TE than Brandon Pettigrew given the fact that Pettigrew has yet to play an NFL game. Pettigrew might become better then Celek, but as we stand here today he is not.

Why is it better....

to take a headcase LT but not a headcase WR. I dont like either very much. Maybe it is just because I am not a huge Peters fan. The guy busted his butt to make himself into a starting LT in the NFL. Then demanded more money in the form of an extenstion when he hadn’t even played the position yet. He gets the extension and then has a great year because he is happy. Look foward one year and he isn’t happy again. So the guy returns to less than stellar form. That is called a character issue and I really do not see the Eagles jumping into that fray. I don’t want a headcase on the team no matter what their position, LT, WR,TE,QB it doesn’t matter. I don’t think the FO wants a player of that mindset either.

Then demanded more money in the form of an extenstion when he hadn’t even played the position yet. He gets the extension and then has a great year because he is happy.

That’s not completely true. Yeah, Peters got the extension after (less than) a season of playing (right) tackle, but the Bills approached his agent, not vice versa. Peters didn’t ask for the first extension; it was given to him. The Bills have been notorious for handing out deals similar to that to young talent – Terrence McGee, Roscoe Parrish, Kyle Williams and Brad Butler are just four examples that all got similar extensions.

The only times Peters has “demanded” an extension have been the past two off-seasons.

by jack is better than asante on Apr 1, 2009 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

Actually, he was offered the deal in July of 2006, accepted, and then played it out for two years. During the first season, he was switched from RT to LT during the team’s mid-season bye week. He spent 1.5 years as a LT on his current deal, made a Pro Bowl in the process, and at that point he began to seek a new deal.

by jack is better than asante on Apr 1, 2009 10:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

Oh, absolutely. He’s severely underpaid as an upper-tier NFL LT. He’s just not worth what he’s demanding of Buffalo, and because the Bills aren’t going to do anything to effect their on-field performance in 2009 negatively, they HAVE to do something with him, and soon. That’ll help teams trying to trade for him – the Bills lose a little bit of negotiating leverage. I believe he can be had for less than a first-round pick; a second and a third or fourth might do the trick.

No need to. None of the teams in #22 through #27 have need for an RB, and they do have other needs that will cause them to pick BPAs other than Moreno.

even though we pay him starting WR money, he would incur a big cap hit if we cut him…so in reality, the team can’t just cut players. if they are talented, and make sure their contract is structured well, they can protect themselves from getting cut. at the very least, large cap hits are incentive for the team not to cut the player, even if they grossly underperform (i.e. inactive players who were paid started money…reggie brown…)

exactly…if a player underperforms his contract the teams leverage is to cut his ass, if a player overperforms his leverage is to hold out.

I dont think many football fans think holding out is necessarily wrong…just in certain contexts. there is a right way and a wrong way to ask for a new contract. Westbrook made it quietly known that he was unhappy with his contract, he took his concerns directly to the front office, and they gave him a hefty new deal. T.O. on the other hand staged a national sympathy campaign through the media, making it seem like he was living in poverty and that the Eagles were evil for not giving in to his demands. all that “I need to feed my family” crap is largely the reason T.O.’s hold out was wrong.

and the NFL will never and should never have guranteed contracts. there are just to many injuries and players decline faster than any other league. The fact that players are not guranteed all the money provides incentive for them to work hard and earn the money. Do you really want the NFL to be like the NBA where one bad contract can damn a franchise for a decade? do you really want it to be like major league baseball where Manny Ramirez can sign a huge deal only to choose when he plays with faked injuries?

by andyreidswaistline on Apr 1, 2009 10:18 AM EDT reply actions  

I forgive if I’m wrong but isn’t Peters more of a “Run Blocking” LT? While guys like Lynch and Jackson have had success at the RB position, their QB’s in Losman and Edwards have been sacked to hell.

Peters was credited with 11.5 sacks allowed in 13 games last year versus Tra Thomas who was credited for 2 sacks. Thomas was more of a “Pass Blocking” LT and didn’t bring a whole lot to the run game in my opinion but look at our head coach. It’s obvious he runs a pass first offense so why bring in a run blocking LT? I say there’s no way he does it.

Naturally a LT should be fairly good at both things but the strengths at ability to run or pass block can be vastly different (ie Khalif Barnes Run>Pass). If you’re a 300 lb individual you might be stud when you need to plow a defender forward and then be a stiff when you need to plant your legs into the ground and hold a bull rush at bay.

I’d love to hear some poetic waxing from the BuffaloRumblings on Peters abilities on running plays versus passing plays. There’s certainly a different approach by the offensive line in run versus pass.

While guys like Lynch and Jackson have had success at the RB position, their QB’s in Losman and Edwards have been sacked to hell.

You shouldn’t pigeon-hole Peters as one-dimensional simply because J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards have been sacked a lot. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that those two guys haven’t been very good. Why should Peters shoulder the blame when our quarterbacks take more sacks than most NFL quarterbacks?

I’ll agree that Peters, at this point, is a better run blocker than pass blocker. I’d go so far as to call Peters one of the more dominant run-blocking left tackles in the game. That doesn’t mean his pass protection is bad, though. It’s actually very impressive the VAST majority of the time. His athleticism is severely underrated. Playing for a guy like Reid, I’ve no doubt he’d improve in this area, particularly when factoring in the overall awesome of Donovan McNabb.

what do you base your thoughts on?

you watch tape? then why is it that when whodie says he watched the guy play and observes something else whodie is wrong and you are right?

does that look like some sacks to you? how can you consider him a stud in pass protection? …and he did that in just 13 starts!

yea

with an immobile qb who stayed in the pocket .. he made the probowl for a reason .. thank god someone who matters can recognize talent

by jack is better than asante on Apr 1, 2009 11:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

oh...

kerry collins rushing yards in 2008 – 49 yards
trent edwards rushing yards in 2008 – 117 yards

so just to make this clear… trent edwards leaves the pocket to rush more than kerry collins… yet, peters is number 31 on the list and roos (from the titans) in number 2. the facts don’t match up with your claims.

by awd777 on Apr 2, 2009 6:14 AM EDT up reply actions  

titans

are a running team who only drop back to pass a few times a game .. edwards was dropping back and waiting for evans to get open .. so thats why .. dont compare him to kerry collins who doesnt throw the ball hardly

by jack is better than asante on Apr 2, 2009 12:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

It doesn’t matter how mobile your QB is if you can give him enough time to pass the ball, see: Manning/Brady/Warner end of argument.

by Whodie126 on Apr 2, 2009 9:06 AM EDT up reply actions  

what!

peyton releases the ball so much faster .. a young inexperieced qb like edwards holds it and stays in the pocket .. he gets more coverage sacks where manning would of threw the ball away

by jack is better than asante on Apr 2, 2009 12:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

what

dude im done arguing you .. didnt this guy make the all pro team? hes a stud .. edwards is the reason he gave up sacks .. if i stood in the pocket .but had walter jones and pace protecting me eventually id get sacked

by jack is better than asante on Apr 2, 2009 10:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

he made the all pro in 2007, not in 2008 where he had a bad year. He made the pro bowl because lineman get voted it by name recognition only.

by Whodie126 on Apr 3, 2009 8:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

no way

hes worth walter jones type money .. maybe not gross money .. but hes a stud and hes better than any of the tackles on this roster .. hes a lot better than stacy andrews .. and sean needs to stay at guard where he already is an all pro .. peters is the best move they can make .. id rather have peters than any wr. .

by jack is better than asante on Apr 1, 2009 6:18 PM EDT reply actions  

yeah hes good… goodenough to give up 11 sacks last year
hmmmm how many did tra give up? oh thats right 2

where did WR come in?

this thread was about peters, as far as i can tell. and all i did was point out that you ironically spelled retarded wrong. yah, i said i wouldn’t correct your spelling and don’t care, but i also don’t care for people using retarded as a derogatory term.

and…i don’t really know much about peters, but i do know that tra did a hell of a job for us…

by eagleyosh on Apr 1, 2009 11:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

hey jill.

tra is better than peters. just look at how many sacks thomas allowed vs. peters. i think you have the i.q. of a carrot.

by snowhill82 on Apr 2, 2009 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

snowhill

i think your a moron .. tra thomas barely got a contract offer .. peters is gonna comand around 10 mil made the pro bowl and an all pro team i believe .. hes a stud .. tra was great .. peters is a younger more athletic version

by jack is better than asante on Apr 2, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

the difference between me and you is.....

sometimes i actually know what i’m talking about. now why don’t you go masturbate to a video of terrell owens doing sit-ups.

by snowhill82 on Apr 2, 2009 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

tra

yea i love tra. . i always said he was a great tackle and hes better than big john .. although everyone seems to love him more .. tra is a borderline hall of famer who wont get in because of the great ots playing at his time .. pace, odgen, walter jones .. .so yea he is great. . but peters is a younger more athletic tra
