Only he's not Will Peterson anymore, he's William James. But other than the name change, he's still the game 6-footer who once played corner for the Giants and has been beset by back problems recently. He's taller that the other DBs on the Eagles roster, and I'm guessing his main job will be to handle guys like Plaxico Burress, to try and negate the height advantage. What do you guys think of the signing?

Why not call himself Billy Jim? If he was any great shakes, someone would have signed him well before this.

I heard about this change.

He claims he has been thinking about it for a while.

I like Will Peterson better, because William James is such a common name. Right, Billy Bob?

[MJHMarc]

Oh wait, James is his middle name! That connects the pieces to the puzzle.

Those back problems really put a damper on his otherwise pretty damn good career with the Giants. I thought he was forced to retire early due to them but (for his sake) thankfully he's got a second opportunity to play. He's always physical but he'll have a tough time with the interceptions.

Overall good signing for the Eagles if he can stay healthy.

Anyone know the story about why he dropped the Peterson name?
