The Philadelphia Eagles will start out NFL free agency with almost $50 million in salary-cap space according to Over The Cap, and there are some huge decisions to make.
Changes are coming to the roster and several players won’t return. The biggest decision in free agency for the Eagles appears to be left tackle Jason Peters, who’s a future Hall of Famer but has seen his play regress over the years.
Peters wants to return but with the Eagles using a first-round pick on Andre Dillard in 2019, Howie Roseman has a decision to make that ESPN deems the most important for Philadelphia this offseason.

The coaching staff will have to give an honest assessment of that before the front office decides to move on from Peters, 37, who is not as dominant as he once was but remains better than most. — Tim McManus
Peters entered the late weeks of the 2019 season as one of the highest-graded linemen in football, so his production still is without question. Peters has hinted at switching positions and could be a candidate to play guard if needed.
