3 Tackles the Eagles Should Target to Replace Jason Peters

After 11 years, seven Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl ring, Jason Peters appears to be on his way out of Philadelphia. Peters has been a rock-solid component of the Eagles' offensive line, etching his name into club history in the process. However, the Eagles and Peters appear to be moving on, which will allow the 38-year-old left tackle to test the open market.

The #Eagles are expected to let Jason Peters hit the free agent market, sources say. After 11 years with the team, the nine-time Pro Bowl selection could be headed elsewhere, though the parties will remain in contact.

The Eagles will likely turn the position over to 2019 first-rounder Andre Dillard, but they will have plenty of options available to bolster their offensive line in free agency. Amazingly, since Peters effectively picked up after Tra Thomas, this is only the Eagles' second search for a left tackle in the last 22 years. Here are some offensive linemen that the Eagles could acquire in free agency.

1. Kelvin Beachum

If the Eagles don't go with Dillard on the left side, they could opt to sign veteran left tackle Kelvin Beachum. After three years for the New York Jets, Beachum is hitting free agency at age 31. A reliable starter for the Steelers and Jaguars in the past, Beachum would be a solid replacement for Peters. He will likely also command a hefty price tag, but if the Eagles want to lock down the left tackle position, he's their most reasonable option.

2. Daryl Williams

Daryl Williams bounced back from an injury-marred 2018 by playing in all 16 games for the Panthers last season, starting in 12 of them. He was playable across the offensive line, starting games at left tackle, right guard, and left guard. Williams has significant injury risk and isn't reliable enough to be a long-term starter at left tackle like Peters, but he would be a strong short-term option that the Eagles could play in multiple spots, providing them with versatility and depth all across the line.

3. Andrus Peat

In addition to losing Peters, premium backup lineman Halapoulivaati "Big V" Vaitai is also hitting free agency. The potential need at multiple positions could make Andrus Peat especially appealing, as the former 2015 first-round pick who is set to leave the New Orleans Saints. Peat has never lived up to his lofty potential, but he's a solid backup guard who can also play tackle. Peat is just 26 and could still have a solid second act of his career.
