Lurie's order for bacon pizza mistakenly turns into blockbuster trade for Jason Peters

In a move that shocked the entire city of Philadelphia and the president of the organization, the Eagles unintentionally pulled off a blockbuster deal for Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters on Friday.

Eagles General Manager Tom Heckert explained Saturday how the move only came about due to a misunderstanding between he and Lurie.

“I walked by his office on Friday and could have sworn I heard him say to his assistant ‘I’m tired of this same old crap…go get me Jason Peters’,” said Heckert. “He’s one of those guys that says pizza like ‘peetzer’, which really threw me off.”

The Eagles have recently been ridiculed by the media and two-bit websites for their relative inactivity given their resources this offseason. The accidental trade and subsequent signing of the 340-pound lineman may now give the Eagles a reason to continue upgrading the team.

“I can’t believe they went out and got that guy when they knew I had no intention of spending another penny this offseason,” said Lurie. “I guess we have no choice now…we might as well just blow the whole wad and go after [Anquan] Boldin while we’re at it.”
