YOU MIGHT be watching the Eagles' 2017 starting offensive line Thursday night against the Giants.
Jason Peters will be at left tackle, Allen Barbre at left guard, Jason Kelce at center, Brandon Brooks at right guard and Lane Johnson at right tackle. That's the group the Eagles employed at the start of 2016, as well. The assumption then was that for 2017, Peters and his $11.2 million cap hit would be gone, Peters in retirement or playing elsewhere, Johnson would be the left tackle. Fingers were crossed that 2016 rookie Halapoulivaati Vaitai could replace Johnson, and maybe 2016 rookie Isaac Seumalo could take over for Barbre at left guard.
