Jason Peters returns to Philadelphia.
Peters, the 38-year-old offensive lineman who spent most of the past decade as the Eagles’ starting left tackle, is re-signing with Philadelphia, the team announced.
But Peters will not return to his old position. Instead, Peters is expected to play as the right guard, replacing Brandon Brooks, who will miss the season after suffering an Achilles tendon tear.
According to the NFL Network, Peters is getting a one-year contract with $ 3 million guaranteed and a chance to win a total of up to $ 6 million.
If Peters can admirably replace Brooks, it would be a breakthrough for the Eagles’ offense to go in the right direction as they try to repeat as NFC East champions.
Peters has been a big part of many successful offensives in Philly, and will now try to keep him from a new place on the offensive line.
