This is the second year in a row that this is a legitimate question ... about a HOF LT! He still has value as a player and as a team leader, but considering the Eagles' cap dilemma, at what price? He's set to make $10,666,668 and the team would save $8,000,000 by releasing or trading him. Here ...
If he stays another year he can help usher in a new LT, either Mailata or potentially a draft pick? That would be ideal, him starting and the kid coming in when Peters' is out with an injury. He's still better than most LTs, but he can't stay healthy any more and another year won't improve that. The alternative is to have Big V in that place keeper roll - I'd rather it be Peters.
I doubt he'll take a pay cut and the Eagles may not even want to suggest it. He's a proud man, so the alternatives are probably either releasing him, keeping him or offering him a job replacing Chung - hell, honor his contract except as a coach not a player.
