Jason Raynard Peters (born January 22, 1982) is an American football offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL).
He was drafted free agent by the Buffalo Bills in 2004, originally as a tight end.
He played college football at Arkansas.
College career
Peters played for the Arkansas Razorbacks football team while playing in both football and basketball at Queen City High School (TX). He was originally recruited as a defensive lineman, but he spent his freshman year as a reserve defensive lineman. He was then moved to the tight end, where he had four passes for 37 yards as a sophomore. Peters had 21 attempts for 218 yards and four touchdowns in his junior season, earning him a second-team All-SEC selection.
Professional career
Peters was described as "a clone of former Denver Broncos General Orson Mobley," at a much more athletic tight end. Peters spent more time in college before deciding to be a defensive tackle for the NFL since he had more knockdown blocks (61) than catches (21) in his last year. Sports Illustrated had expected him to select him in the fourth round, but he did not get to the draft.
In April 2004, Peters was drafted as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Buffalo Bills. He was fired and re-signed from the Bills' practice squad and was suspended. On November 12, 2004, he was officially on the active roster. Peters made his mark on special teams as a wedge buster on kickoffs and as a blocking tight end, while offensive line coach Jim McNally taught him how to play offensive tackle.
Peters defeated former Texas star Mike Williams for the Bills' starting right tackle in 2006. In the offseason, Peters was rewarded for his work by signing a five-year, $15 million contract extension with the Bills. Peters debuted as the starting right tackle in 2007, and he was recalled as the season's starting right tackle. The Bills reshuffled their offensive line after Week 7 to better shield quarterback J. P. Losman. Peters was recalled to left tackle after replacing Mike Gandy, who was moved inside to left guard.
Sports Illustrated's Paul Zimmerman debating selecting Peters to his All-Pro team after the 2006 season. Jason Peters, whom I would have loved to pick, but he isn't there yet." The sport is good, but not enough of a roughneck." Peters had only two firings in the previous year, and no one had called for a holding penalty.
Peters had his best years as a pro in 2007 and was selected to start at left tackle on the AFC Pro-Bowl team. "His capability is limitless," offensive line coach Jim McNally said. He strained his groin during a game against the New York Giants last week, and he was unable to attend the Pro Bowl game. In 2003, he was the first Bills offensive lineman to play in the Pro Bowl after Ruben Brown. Joe Thomas was selected to replace him in the Pro Bowl.
Peters was dissatisfied with his deal and did not turn up to any of the Bills offseason workouts, including the teams' mandatory minicamps, at the start of the 2008 offseason. If he did not turn up, head Coach Dick Jauron said he would be fined and even suspended from the roster if he did not turn up. According to reports, Peters wanted a deal extension between $8 million and $11.5 million per year. Peters will not report to the Bills' training camp in Pittsford, N.Y., according to Schefter, who also said Peters was able to wait out the entire season to get a new and improved deal. Peters' training camp for the Bills came to an end on August 20, 2008, with him missing for the entire camp and all of the preseason games. Peters called off his holdout and returned to the Buffalo Bills on September 5, 2008. Peters was fined over $560,000 for missing all of training camp, but if he had missed a regular season game, he would have been fined $191,000 for each game he missed.
Peters was selected as the starting left tackle in the Pro Bowl and was a Second-team All-Pro, though some felt the Pro Bowl pick was dubious. In 2006, he allowed only two sacks and allowed six sacks.
Since staging a holdout in 2008 during training camp, Peters had been dissatisfied with his work and was not attending the Bills' offseason activities. The Buffalo Bills traded Peters to the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round pick (28th overall, used to select center Eric Wood) and fourth round pick (121st overall, used to select tight end Shawn Nelson) in the 2010 NFL Draft, along with a conditional sixth round pick (used to select linebacker Danny Batten).
The Philadelphia Eagles reported on April 17, 2009, that Peters had signed him to a six-year, $60 million contract, allowing him to remain in Philadelphia until 2014. Peters' previous deal with the Bills was void, according to the Eagles. He had two years remaining on the Bills. "Jason Peters is the best left tackle in football," head coach Andy Reid said. He is a strong and athletic tackle, and I have admired his work over the past few years on film.
Peters was selected as a starter in the 2010 Pro Bowl and 2011 Pro Bowl, and as a member of the 2010 second-team All-Pro team.
During an offseason workout, Peters ruptured his Achilles tendon. In May 2012, he exploded it for the second time after the machine he was using to move around his house malfunctioned. Before the start of training camp, he was put on the active/non-football injury list on July 22, 2012.
Peters signed a new five-year contract with the Eagles on February 26, 2014, worth $51.3 million.
Chris Baker of the Redskins struck Eagle Quarterback Nick Foles with an illegal hit during a game against the Washington Redskins on September 21, 2014. A brawl broke out on the sidelines between both teams after the assault. Peters confronted Baker, who took a swing at Baker, resulting in both players being banned from the game. Peters was fined $10,000 on September 27, 2014.
Peters committed to the Eagles for one year beginning in June 14, 2017. Peters left the game with a noticeable right knee injury during Monday Night Football against the Redskins on Monday. It was revealed that his right knee had tears to the ACL and MCL, which ended his 2017 season. The Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41–33, giving Peters his first Super Bowl ring.
On March 11, 2019, the Eagles signed Peters on a one-year deal for the 2019 season. Peters extended his one-year deal with the Eagles on July 17, 2020. Following Brandon Brooks' season-ending injury, he was supposed to start at right guard, but he was forced to return to left tackle after suffering a season-ending injury, including Andre Dillard. After his switch to left tackle on September 10, 2020, he was given a restructured deal. He was put on medical reserve on October 3, 2020, after suffering a foot injury. He was activated on October 31, 2020. On December 12, 2020, he was put back on injured reserve, effectively ending his season.
Peters signed with the Chicago Bears on August 16, 2021. He appeared in 15 out of 17 games for the team.
Peters joined the Dallas Cowboys practice squad on September 5, 2022. On September 26, he was called to the active roster.
