Former Eagles All-Pro OT Jason Peters signs one-year deal with Bears

The 39-year-old spent the past 12 seasons with the Eagles, with whom he earned seven of his nine Pro Bowl selections.

Peters' deal with the Bears reunites him with offensive line coach Juan Castillo, a former offensive line coach and defensive coordinator for the Eagles. 

After playing eight games last season, Peters was placed on injured reserve in December with a toe injury that required surgery. He has appeared in only 44 of a possible 64 games since 2017 due to several injuries. 

The Arkansas product said in March that he had plans to play an 18th NFL season, particularly to help young players develop.

"I don't know about 'a whole lot,' but I still got some in the tank, and I can definitely show some of the young guys how to play the game of football," he said, according to NFL.com. "You can know the X's and O's, but I'm gonna be the one to stay with 'em after practice and show 'em how to really play the game, the technique, and the things about the detail of the football game throughout the course of the season."
