The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back an old friend to bolster their offensive line. The team signed veteran offensive tackle Jason Peters, who will be in his second stint with the team, according to his agent Elite Loyalty Sports. Peters will join the team's practice squad.
The signing comes after the team hosted the free agent in late September.
Peters was with Seattle during the 2023 season, appearing in eight games for the organization to go with two starts. The 42-year-old joined the club last year amid injuries to its offensive line.
While Peters may be familiar with the organization as a whole, it's important to highlight the new regime that is currently running Seattle along the coaching staff. Unlike last year when Pete Carroll was still the head coach and Andy Dickerson, the offensive line coach, Mike Macdonald is now running the show as the first-year head coach, and Scott Huff is serving as the O-line coach. Still, it is John Schneider running the personnel side as GM, so there is that link from 2023 to this year's squad.
Peters has been around the NFL since coming in as an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas in 2004, playing for the Buffalo Bills from 2004 to 2008. The bulk of his tenure in the league was spent with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2009-2020, where he helped the organization win Super Bowl LII. He spent the 2021 season with the Chicago Bears and the next year with the Dallas Cowboys.
He also is a six-time All-Pro and has been named to the Pro Bowl nine times throughout his career.
The signing means he is now the oldest player in the league, ousting Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers from that title.
