Kyle Williams

Jason Peters

The Eagles are a doubt to make the playoffs, and their longtime left tackle could be ready to hang up his laces given all the injuries he's incurred.

Once a feared pass-rusher, Wake has seen his role reduced over the last couple of seasons. The pending free agent will turn 37 in January.
