Peters is currently set to make $10.45 million in 2017 and $10 million in 2018, but nearly none of that money is guaranteed, per spotrac.com. In February, the Eagles reportedly asked Peters to take a pay cut.
Peters had another successful season in 2016 starting all 16 games, reaching his ninth Pro Bowl.
Peters told reporters he will not holdout of training camp.
