Peters is scheduled to count for $11.7 million against the cap in 2017 (largest number on team) and then $11.25 million in 2018 before becoming a free-agent, according to overthecap.com. The Eagles could save $9.7 million cap dollars if they chose to flat out release Peters, hence the pay cut discussions.
