Per the report, Peters is at the Eagles’ training complex.
Citing a team source, Caplan reported that the trade terms were agreed upon this morning (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/17/eagles-negotiating-with-peters/) and has been in the works ever since the Eagles’ playoff loss to the Arizona <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%;" id="itxt_nobr_4_0">Cardinalshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif</nobr> (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/17/peters-passes-physical/#).
The Eagles’ fallback plan if the Peters deal hadn’t been executed was to shift right offensive guard Shawn <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%;" id="itxt_nobr_5_0">Andrewshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif</nobr> (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/17/peters-passes-physical/#) to left tackle, according to a team source.
Of course, the success of the trade will hinge upon whether Peters performs to an optimum level. Sometimes, Peters’ desire and work ethic have been questioned.
“If he’s motivated, the Eagles got a steal,” NFL analyst and former Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski told Scout.com. “The guy is really talented, but he didn’t play (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/17/peters-passes-physical/#) at the same level last season that he did previously.”
The Eagles are still working on a new contract for Peters as talks have begun with his Indiana-based agent, Eugene Parker.
