Eagles left tackle Jason Peters is in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl, but his selection to this year’s game feels like a case of past reputation more than present production.

Peters battled injuries all season, missing two games and leaving several others early during a season that saw him play less than two-thirds of Philly’s offensive snaps overall. Peters, who turned 34 this month, was less effective when he was on the field than he was in past seasons. Neither the injury nor the inconsistency on the field has coach Doug Pederson ready to look in a different direction, however.

The Eagles could save over $6.7 million under the cap by parting ways with Peters, but Pederson says he wants Peters back at the end of the offensive line.

“I do,” Pederson said, via CSNPhilly.com. “I think J.P.’s got several good years left in him. I think that he does the right things in the offseason to get himself ready to go for another year. I look forward to visiting with him, sitting down and talking with him and number one, seeing where he’s at and then motivating him for the future.”

If things wind up playing out the other way, the Eagles could flip Lane Johnson from the right side of the line to replace Peters, but it sounds like that’s a definite Plan B for 2016.
