24. LT Jason Peters

After 11 seasons together, the Philadelphia Eagles have announced they will let Peters test the open market. He has missed 12 games over the last three seasons (three in 2019, nine in 2017) and is 38 years old, but Pro Football Focus graded out the nine-time Pro Bowler as its sixth-best offensive tackle last year.

Peters is in line to have a robust market for his services, with the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets among the teams that should have interest. A return to the Eagles is possible, as head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Howie Roseman have not closed the door on it. But Peters can get more money and a starting job elsewhere if that’s a priority, and Philadelphia seems ready to go with 2019 first-round pick Andre Dillard protecting Carson Wentz’s blind side.

The premium placed on left tackles, and a continued high level of play, assures Peters will have no trouble landing a payday. He has said intends to play at least one more season, and he presumably will be abundantly clear (and precise) on that timeframe as negotiations with teams get going. The length of his contract will be just as interesting to see as how much he gets in annual value.
