The Buffalo Bills have traded Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com.

In exchange for Peters, the Bills receive the EaglesÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ 28th overall pick of the first round as well as a second-day draft pick in this yearÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s draft and a late-round draft pick in 2010.

thats great, now they may not get boldin unless they want to trade both 1st

this is ludicris... they just stole one of the best left tackles away from the bills in broad daylight... this is highway robbery!!!

and to think we could have done the same thing!!

Well if they end up getting Boldin it would have to be with next years first.

Who knows if the Cards are willing to do that

Yeah..they still have one first left but I don't seem them using it for a trade. I actually thought Philly would be the team to get Boldin.

rumors are that the cowboys might try and land him...

either way, i'm mad we could have gotten our tackle if we had tried to trade for peters...

It's okay.. at least we still have the false start/holding machine Cook still.

Do we actually know that the Vikings didn't try and trade for him.
Just a thought.
Also, this might indicate that we aren't sold on going OT in the first round.
Or there could be issue with Big Mac moving to the right - do we even know if he can play RT, or if he would?

There is alot that goes into stuff like this, so I am not too worked up over it.

IMO paying both McKinnie and Peters top teir LT money just isn't very cap-smart, especially when one will wind up on the right.

We could use improvement at tackle, but that's just over-kill.
