Popular Post GREENBEAN Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 Emphatic yes! He was top ten T's last year. And he's willing to play RT if necessary. He'd be a good mentor too. Win Win Win. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 My red flag is that JD is extremely familiar with him, sees his market is slow/weak, is at a position of need and still hasn't pounced (presumably). That tells me a lot, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 https://www.profootballrumors.com/2020/03/jason-peters-open-to-playing-rt Longtime Eagles LT Jason Peters is open to playing right tackle if it will help him land a job, as Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network tweets. Peters graded out as the No. 6 overall tackle in 2019 per Pro Football Focus’ advanced metrics, but he is still looking for work as we hit the second wave of free agency. Of course, part of that is due to Peters’ advanced age. He turned 38 in January, so teams in need of an OT are likely trying to see if there are longer-term options available. At this point, it’s fair to wonder if Peters will need to wait until after the draft to find a new club. But he will certainly be playing somewhere in 2020. Over a remarkable 16-year career, Peters has accumulated nine Pro Bowl nods, two First Team All-Pro bids, and a Super Bowl ring. He has played on the right side before, and it would probably not be too difficult for him to move back to RT if necessary. The Buccaneers, who are clearly all-in on bringing home a championship in 2020, could see Peters as a win-now option at RT, and while the Browns filled their right tackle vacancy by signing Jack Conklin to a massive free agent deal, Cleveland’s LT job is still wide open. The Chargers also profile as a potential landing spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardTodd27 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I wouldn't mind Peters, especially since both our tackle spots are big question marks right now. But the guy I prefer is Cordy Glenn. He's 30 and would be less sucestible to injury than the 38 year old Peters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a lot of players get signed by teams that show no interest in them? The Jets aren't in a position of bargaining power with Peters. He's probably not chomping at the bit to end his career with a team that is likely not consider a playoff team. If the Jets were to come in with a reasonable offer when he had essentially no market, he'd have to decide whether to take the reasonable offer he has in hand or gamble that he can get an offer/situation he likes better down the road. If he chooses the latter, the Jets were never getting him to begin with. Be proud of your poker game, I'm sure you are awesome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is a particularly great bet, but Cordy Glenn has missed 10 games in two of the last three seasons.

Adoni Beast Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I doubt he’d want to come here. But he’s still top 10 at his position, so for a 1 year deal 5-7 mil he’d be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I take back my initial assessment base on what I'm reading. Still very good and can be a mentor to our #11 LT.

Was about to say, Jason Peters is the type of signing you make when you swing and miss in FA/draft and/or arent confident in who you have as your starter heading into training camp. And for his sake, he's probably better off waiting for that situation from an offer perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know age isn't the only indicator of future injury (or decline of play) but it's a huge factor. Given the choice, I prefer youth (relatively speaking). My post was poorly worded. Glenn missed 10 games in 2017 and another 10 in 2019. He missed another 3 in 2018, so compared to the 12 that Peters missed (9 of those were in 2017), Glenn has missed 23. Recent concussion issues are always concerning.Everybody prefers youth, but when you are looking for a one year placeholder, it doesn't make much difference. sh*t, I'd put Donald Penn on this list too as a cheaper option.

Dcat Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 4 minutes ago, Philc1 said: No. Draft Becton or Wills at 11 assuming that one of them will be there is quite risky. Every which way I see the 4 of them Wirfs, Thomas, Wills and Becton) just as likely to be all gone as one of them falling. If one of them falls to us it'll probably be Wills. Having Peters on 1-year deal would be great if we draft one of these guys. It would be foolish to assume the rook is going to start from day 1. Peters would be perfect for a year.

Thanks, If the Jets were just a LT away from being a contender I'd be all over it. They're not. Peters is more then likely looking for a BIG chunk of money, and more then lkely someone is going to give it to him. If no one does, and his price comes down ALOT, yeah then I would consider it. Right now the smart thing to do is contact him, make an offer, and wait it out. I suspect that is what Dougla is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus guys get cut after the draft as well based on who that team drafts at a particular position.

peekskill68 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm sensing JD and Gase are looking for OL with a particular skill set which is why they targeted Fant and McGovern. I have no idea if Peters fits the mold but using stats and PFF rankings based on the system they ran in Philadelphia may not be applicable here...
