It's been seven years since the Eagles were active participants in the high-priced, free-agent offensive line market. They initially signed Stacy Andrews in the 2009 offseason, and while Jason Peters wasn't technically a free agent, the veteran tackle came in a trade.
The Eagles were attempting to replace tackle cornerstones Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan on the fly, and while Peters ultimately became one of the team's better acquisitions over the last decade, Andrews, like his brother Shawn, flamed out.
Now, the Eagles face a similar, though not as drastic, predicament on the line. They have their tackles - Peters, likely for one last hurrah, and Lane Johnson - and center Jason Kelce, but they need immediate help at guard.
