Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said after his press conference Tuesday that the former nine-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro was retiring to join the Seahawks’ front office as a “veteran mentor.” Peters spent the past two seasons with the Seahawks; he became the oldest active player in NFL history in 2023, and re-signed with the practice squad again in 2024. He played a total of 21 seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, and Seahawks.
