Jason Peters makes a lot of sense

It appears the only way they will consider bringing in a legit/potential starter, Tyler probably will have to fall flat on his face like Chaz Green. In other words, he would have literally cost us a game or two.

BUT...
This is exactly what everyone is glossing over. The assumption that it will be a success story from college LT to pro LT.

It doesn't happen that way quite often. 4 year LT out of UT they just got rid of only played guard. Their current All Pro RG out of Notre Dame played 4 yrs of LT in college. He doesn't even want to play tackle. I could go on but that's just with this team.

My point is there should be a back up plan if this kid turns out to be a better guard than tackle. They actually need to grab a vet like Fisher(or some vet with some juice left)on a 2 year deal. Let him play LT this year and put Tyler back at where he's practiced at guard.

If Fisher(or other vet's) performance is more indicative of short term vice long term solution then you open up a full on competition in TC with Tyler next year giving him just as many snaps at LT as Fisher(or other vet) and let the best man win.

I'm not a believer in not having a solid back up plan to this replace within philosophy.

Gosh forbid the kid is better suited to be a guard.

Stop it. Stephen's not going to bring in some 40 year old FA when he already has young bucks to fill the void.
Move on already....

Fill the void? Problem is, they don’t look near ready to fill the void.

If the 40 year old can play for cheap, who cares if he’s 40.

Especially one that's an Eagles icon who won't play for us. Peters to Dallas is likely moot.

If they bring in a vet players, such as Peters or Fisher, they will wait until after game 1.
When his salary is not guaranteed. And yes, all teams do this. It is not Stephen being cheap.

They may want to see how their plan goes game 1.

I mean, we have a lot of cap room and we only need 1 year

While this is true, when you don't have to work anymore unless the right offer comes along, you can be choosy. Peters has said he wants to play, but maybe he might only want to play if the price is right.

Perhaps, he didn't want to go through the rigors of training camp.

Several GM's have told some media that Peters is done in the NFL. It would be a total waste of money to bring him in. Why is most on this board only interested in names they've heard of not whether they can still play or not. There are good reasons Peters is on the street.

Probably right, but we all thought Steele would crash and burn replacing Collins during his suspension and the team didn't lose a single game.
