Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-Imagn Images Nine-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters is expected to retire after 19 NFL seasons, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Schneider said Peters will take a job in the team's player engagement department. Per the Seattle Times, Peters' job title will be as a veteran mentor, working closely with the offensive linemen.
Peters, 43, signed with the Seahawks' practice squad on Oct. 1 but did not play in a game last season.
He has played in 19 seasons since entering the NFL in 2004 after being undrafted out of Arkansas.
The two-time All-Pro previously suited up for the Buffalo Bills (2004-08), Philadelphia Eagles (2009-20), Chicago Bears (2021), Dallas Cowboys (2022) and Seahawks.
A Super Bowl champion with the Eagles during the 2017 season, Peters has started 221 of the 248 career games in which he has appeared. He was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame's All-Decade Team for the 2010s.
