Let’s go! Exactly what we need. Can play both T spots and for a year or so can be a good starter.

I love that lineman can play into their 40’s cause the best of them hone in technique and the strength pretty much stays with age, mobility is the only concern.

JP is probably about 80% of what Tyron was last year. If he stays at that level, he’s a quality starter on either side. Hopefully he’s signed in time to be able to go against Tampa.

The thing that sucks about the timing here is we are probably too close to the season for him to jump right into the starting lineup. So what do you do, play Smith at LT for 2 games then back to LG? Even then does Smith replace McGovern if he’s playing well? The timing makes this thing much more complicated.

He might double our average roster age alone, but I'm onboard.

 

[Direwolf63]

I'm not sure he would be an upgrade

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I mean....

At least they're looking into it I guess...

Peter's and Smith or Smith and McGovern. I take the former 10/10

 

[Blast From The Past]

Why are they waiting so late?

 

[Carson]

77.5 PFF grade. Would be a massive upgrade if we put him at LG and would be a solid piece to help Tyler grow

 

[charron]

Bout time they at least bring in someone. Honestly they should have had a deal in place kinda like the rams did with weddle.

 

[morasp]

He was who Broaddus mentioned from his gang of 7.

Now here's a past LT that was moved to Guard.

Exactly what should have been done with Tyron this training camp to allow Tyler reps at LT.

Instead the team took the reactive approach and just hoped for the best.

Now here we are.

Probably bc if they signed him, it would be after week 1 so they are not on the hook for him all year.

 

[Hardline]

He still has to leave with a signed contract.

I mean he played for $1.75 million last season. So I cannot imagine it’s worth waiting a week to eat that amount of cap. It’s not like it’s an 8 million dollar deal like Fisher would get

 

[J12B]

Wasn't he having injury problems during his last couple of seasons in Philly?

This is just a band aid signing.

 

[baltcowboy]

Peters is probably better then any offensive tackle that was cut. Hopefully he can gives us 8 games. I can’t imagine him playing much more.

Ya I don't get it but they get weird about guaranteeing the money for vets. Just pay the guy 2 mill and be willing to eat it later.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Peters started 15 games last year and graded out very well.

Doubtful. You want him learning the offense now.
