Ex-Cowboys hater Jason Peters: “Love at first sight” with Jones
Talk about a change of heart!
The Dallas Cowboys now have themselves some veteran depth at the offensive tackle position, having agreed to a deal with former Philadelphia Eagle Jason Peters.
Of course, fans may remember his infamous comments in 2018 while still a member of the Eagles, in which he voiced his disdain for what he perceived to be Dallas "arrogance".
“I don’t like the Cowboys," he said. "They’re just arrogant, the organization, America’s Team.”
But not surprisingly, he's singing a different tune now that he's a member of the Cowboys.
“You can’t blame me. We were rivals,” Peters said of disliking the Cowboys, via Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “At the end of the day, me and Jerry go back to Arkansas. When he called me, we sat down and talked. It was like love at first sight. We were talking about the Hogs.”
“I don’t really call it arrogance,” Peters said. “They had swagger, pretty much the same thing. The swagger they go in week in and week out with that swagger, you could tell how (with) that defense.”
“The Dallas and Eagle rivalry go deep, so it’s kind of weird, but I’m here in my home state and ready to roll,” he said.
The Cowboys begin the regular season on Sunday, September 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
