    As much as they got, they lost quite a bit as well. They lost a Pro Bowl OT and have a huge hole there now. They're going to be counting on a rookie to play there and hopefully, Joey Porter takes advantage of that and plants Edwards into the ground quite a few times this year.

    Ahhh... Peters was, at best, competent this year, despite the pro bowl bid. Still, as we've seen ever since losing Mark Dixon, its a tough spot to fill.

    Pro Bowl I guess. But did you watch him last year? He was average most of the time. Your right, it is a hard spot to fill and I am sure Porter is excited. They are in good position in this draft though and if they hit on some of the early picks it will help them in the long run

    Yeah, he was pretty average last year but he also missed training camp and a lot of time. Then he got injured against the Rams and then came back. He's a good player though and this move is a head scratcher but that comes with the Bills organization. Just look at the Terrell Owens signing.

    The Bills is an organization that does very few things right. :pointlol:

    This is a great deal for both teams IMO if the Bills draft well. Eagles got a Pro Bowl player at a very hard position in the NFL. The Bills got some quality picks and may turn that into 2 or 3 starters. This draft is loaded with tackles so this was probably one of the better drafts to try and get a tackle. Its very much a gamble however if they get an above average OT and another starter than its a very good trade for both teams. I know the Bills are having money troubles and that probably had somehting to do with this trade. Peters is going to try and make a huge payday. Every team in the AFC East had a great LT until this move so it will be interesting how this affects them in the first season.

    Peters was pretty bad last year. Got in Pro-Bowl on rep alone. The guy was a fat, out of shape malcontent. Buffalo wins by virtue of losing this bum. Of course, they added Owens, so they are far from cancer-free, so to speak.

    Getting a first rounder + a fourth for this slob is highway robbery. Maybe the first rounder will be the next Thurman Thomas. Maybe (hopefully) it will be the next Jon McCargo.

    Wow, this is a great deal for the Bills IMO. Theyre getting quite a bit in return for him.

    Eagles-Bills about to trade?

    The Bills and Eagles have reportedly come to an agreement about Jason Peters. For his services, the Eagles will reportedly give the Bills the 28th pick in the draft, as well as a 4th round pick and an unknown pick in 2010's draft.

    Having linking issues but its on ESPN website.

    Ah sorry was takin the Eagles side and posted in the general NFL :up:

    As far as this trade goes, it gives Buffalo with some serious ammunition, but also leaves a gaping hole. Even with peters, their line was horrid, now they are losing their by far best OL. They will have some serious work to do on their line.

    Peters is a great LT, one of the top 5 in the NFL ... when he wants to. He held out of camp and had some injuries and just didnt play that hard this past year. But if he can get motivated in Philly they got a total stud. As long as he gets his money I guess.

    As for the Bills, it will be interesting to see if they sit at 12 and hope one of the big 4 fall to them, youve got to think at least Oher and Andre Smith will be around. This could also make the Lions think twice about passing on Jason Smith at #1 if there is another suitor for a top LT they might not have an elite prospect left at 20 and have to "settle" for a Britton.

    You would think after the Mike Williams Debacle that buffalo would understand...you dont trade away solid left tackles...you just dont.
