Congrats to the future first-ballot Hall of Famer!
As the NFL meets up in Indianapolis this week for the combine, we’ve learned that former Eagles legend Jason Peters is officially retiring from the NFL after an incredible 19 seasons.
The OT has had a remarkable career, including being a Super Bowl Champion, 6x All-Pro, 9s Pro Bowler, and was named to the Hall of Fame’s All-2010s Team. He played 248 total games, 148 of which were with the Eagles, and was the anchor and educator for every offensive line he was apart of.
Howie Roseman was asked about the news during his media time at the Combine, and he noted that Peters gave them so much confidence every Sunday, regardless of the pass rusher they were facing. Roseman said without hesitation, “No doubt, first-ballot Hall of Famer.”
The GM recalled trading for Peters and said he was really thankful for Jason Peters being one of the reasons he’s in the position he is today.

The offensive tackle was also monumental in the development of Philly’s strong o-line and creating the culture that has been sustained through Jason Kelce, and now Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata.
The 43 year old has bounced around the league since leaving Philadelphia in 2021, and last suited up for the Seahawks in 2023. It looks like the offensive tackle will still be around the game, however, and is looking to stay in Seattle as the team’s
