Report: Cowboys reach contract negotiation phase with former Pro Bowl OT Jason Peters
The Dallas Cowboys are working on their backup plans now that Tyron Smith is out.
The Cowboys brought in veteran left tackle, Jason Peters, on Wednesday for a visit. On Friday, the Dallas Morning News’ David Moore said the team was negotiating a contract with Peters.
Although he is now 40 years old, Peters played in 15 games for the Bears last season as their left tackle and was serviceable.
The former nine-time Pro Bowler is not the All-Pro he was a decade ago for the Eagles, but he can still help a team like Dallas that is in need of a replacement for Smith.
If the Cowboys reach a deal with Peters, it will be interesting to see how positions are filled on Dallas’ offensive line.
The previous plan was to have rookie first-round pick Tyler Smith play left tackle. Would a Peters signing lead them to move Tyler Smith to another spot on the line? We’ll have to see.
