Peat, 32, appeared in six games last season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, making three starts. He played the first nine seasons of his career with the New Orleans Saints, who selected him with the No. 13 pick in the 2015 draft out of Stanford. He played in 117 games for the Saints (including playoffs), making 108 starts, and was selected to three straight Pro Bowls (2018-20). He played the 2024 season with the Las Vegas Raiders (15 games, 1 start), following in his father's footsteps. Peat's father, Todd, played guard for the Raiders in 1990, 1992 and 1993.
