On Monday Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks take on the Philadelphia Eagles in an attempt to get back to.500 against a well-known NFC opponent. These are a few of the best players who have spent their careers playing for both Seattle and Philadelphia.
Seahawks are signing 41-year-old OT Jason Peters to their active roster from their practice squad for the remainder of this season, per his agency @eliteloyaltysp.

Former Arkansas player Jason Peters, a 320-pound tight end turned tackle, was not selected in the 2004 NFL Draft. In just four seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Peters went from being unnoticed to a major player, winning two consecutive All-Pro selections in 2007 and 2008. Peters was acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles from Buffalo in a trade in 2009. In the city of brotherly love, Peters would rise to prominence as one of the best tackles in the league, taking home two first-team All-Pro selections (in 2011 and 2013) and a Super Bowl LII championship. Peters was also included in the All-Decade Team for 2010. Peters spent a season with the Chicago Bears in 2021 before playing for the Dallas Cowboys in 2022. In September, the 41-year-old joined Seattle in an effort to bolster the offensive line’s depth.

Michael Bennett, a graduate of Texas A&M, played defensive end for five different teams during his 11-season NFL career. Bennett had a chance with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2009 after being left off the draft list, but he ultimately signed a four-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bennett signed a free agent contract back to Seattle in 2013, and he helped the Seahawks win their first championship in Super Bowl XLVIII right away. Bennett was selected to the Pro Bowl three times in a row from 2015 to 2017. Bennett was acquired by the Eagles in 2018 through a trade with Seattle. Bennett split his final season between the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots after being traded to Dallas the previous year.
