According to Sal Paolantonio and John Clayton of ESPN the Eagles have agreed in principle on a deal for left tackle Jason Peters from the Buffalo Bills.
The Eagles will send a first-round pick (the 28th selection in the round), a fourth-rounder in next weekend’s draft and an undisclosed pick in 2010.
Peters is flying into Philly on Friday to meet with the team. The deal is probably contingent on Peters passing a physical, and agreeing to contract extension.
Peters, who came into the league as an undrafted tight end, is largely considered one of the best offensive lineman in the league.
Peters is scheduled to make $3.75 million this year, and held out of training camp last season in hopes of renegotiating his deal. The Bills did not renegotiate.
In an interview with 950 ESPN Radio in Philadelphia, Clayton said that the Eagles are now most likely out of the running for Arizona Cardinals’ wide-receiver Anquan Boldin.
