"The Philadelphia Eagles have worked out an agreement in principle to acquire Buffalo Bills left tackle Jason Peters, according to multiple sources. For Peters, the Bills will receive a first-round pick (the 28th selection in the round), a fourth-rounder in next weekend's draft and an undisclosed pick in 2010, according to a source (ESPN)."
Peters backed the Bills into a corner, and they had to do something. He was asking for way too much money, and the Bills were at a crossroads where they either had to give him what he wants, which would have been horrible for the team (everyone would lineup for contracts), or trade him. They decided to trade him. If the Eagles and strike a deal with Peters then this is a very solid trade for them. Giving McNabb more time will only make him more dangerous. For the Bills it sucks they had to do it, but at least they got a lot out of it. They will most likely use one of their first two 1st round picks to replace Peters, and now they have another pick to fill any other gaps on their squad.
**UPDATE**
The undisclosed pick is a 6th round pick in 2010.
