Matthew Slater might have announced his retirement from the NFL back in February, but the 10-time Pro-Bowler is still hanging around Foxborough.
Slater was on hand for the first day of the Patriots’ voluntary offseason workout program on Monday, greeting several of his former teammates like Kendrick Bourne, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jabrill Peppers, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Christian Gonzalez.
On Tuesday, Peppers was asked about what Slater’s current role within the organization is.
“It said advisor — whatever that means,” Peppers said of Slater’s current position. “As long as I get to bounce some knowledge off of him and see him around the locker room, having Slate in the locker room, he uplifted spirits and always knew what to say.
