Philadelphia Eagles starting left tackle Jason Peters will be back with the team in 2017, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
According to a source, Peters did not take a pay cut. His salary for the 2017 season will be $10,450,000, not $9,950,000.
Previously, it was reported by Adam Caplan of ESPN that the Eagles approached Jason Peters about taking a pay cut. However, with so many holes on the roster, if the Eagles released Peters, offensive tackle would instantaneously become every bit as big a need as wide receiver or cornerback, perhaps even more so.
The Eagles had almost no leverage. If Peters were to take a pay cut, he would have been doing so out of the kindness of his own heart. That didn't happen.
