Philadelphia Eagles Spent 60 Million Dollars Introducing Super Tackle

on April 19, Jason Peters who Philadelphia Eagles newly introduced made his bow. Peters previously played for Buffalo Bills and signed up with Eagles on Friday.
Since four-time Pro Bowler Tra Thomas went to Jacksonville, Eagles coach Andy Reid has been worried about absence of the left tackle. Peters' s arrival calmed Reid's heart."Of course Tra Thomas is a great tackle," Peters said at news conference on Sunday. "He left big shoes to fill and I'm ready to try to fill those shoes." Peters has been dissatisfied with the contract with Buffalo so that Philadelphia Hawks used a first-round pick (28th overall) and a fourth-round pick (121st overall), plus a second-day pick in 2010 to the Bills in exchange for Peters.Now Eagles owned a right tackle Stacy Andrews and strong Peters who could made this team dominate the whole NFL.
"You know my feelings on Tra Thomas," Reid said of the four-time Pro Bowler. "Tra was a phenomenal left tackle here. We had our 75th anniversary team and Tra was the left tackle. You're talking about the best left tackle in the team's history. "But age does take place in this game and Tra played a lot of years here. We needed to replace Tra and we tried to seek out the best left tackle in football. That's how we went about it."
