Eagles News: Looking back on how the Jason Peters era began 10 years ago

Oral history of how Eagles landed Jason Peters, 10 years later - NBCSP
Since the Eagles traded for him in 2009, Jason Peters has become their longest-tenured player, one of the greatest players in franchise history and a likely future Hall of Famer. It all started with a simple conversation back in 2004. Back then, Peters was an undrafted rookie out of Arkansas in the middle of making a position switch from tight end to offensive tackle. The Buffalo Bills had him on their practice squad early in that 2004 season, but Howie Roseman (then the Eagles’ director of football administration) saw something special in the relatively unknown player.
