Peters to Philadelphia Rumors?

Just saw this at eastcoastsportsnews.com.... not sure what to think but I'd prefer a long-term deal to get done prior to OTAs. If the Bills and Peters are really that far apart, I wouldn't blame OBD if they trade him so we don't have to go through all that drama of holding out again.

03/10...Trade rumors involving the Bills and Eagles are spreading throughout the league...the Eagles are reportedly interested in acquiring Bills offensive tackle Jason Peters to fill their huge need at the offensive tackle position...their starting left tackle Tra Thomas departed in free-agency and signed with the Jaguars, their right tackle Jon Runyan is 35 years old and coming off a knee injury...the Bills and Jason Peters have been involved in contract negotiations just recently, but are reportedly far apart from reaching a deal...The Eagles own two first round selections in the 2009 Draft, including four (1st-21, 1st-28, 2nd-53, 3rd-85,) of the first eighty-five picks in the draft.

Ben Troupe

Profootballtalk.com is reporting that Ben Troupe was released by the Bucs. I guess his decision to sign with them wasn't a very good one. With Derek Fine and Schoumen banged up this year and Royal barely establishing himself as the number one guy, should the Bills Brass go after Troupe? During free agency there were many people on this site hoping that Troupe would sign with us, but would the signing bare risk of messing up some of the offense chemistry and upsetting the locker room? Tough questions, but Troupe does have more natural talent than any of the tight ends currently on our roster.

Seattle game

Just got a little easier... Bobby Engram is out 6-8 weeks with a cracked shoulder, whatever that is. Deion Branch is on the PUP, DJ Hackett is out of town, Engram is now going to be on the bench, and Julius Jones does not scare me whatsoever. The only receiver they still have is Nate "I'm incredibly overpaid" Burleson. I can't remember if they have added anyone else during the offseason to note...
