Legendary offensive lineman Jason Peters is retiring after 21 seasons in the NFL and will take a job in the Seattle Seahawks' front office, general manager John Schneider told reporters at the scouting combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Peters, who spent the past two years with the Seahawks, will take a player-development role under vice president of player affairs Mo Kelly, Schneider said. Peters' specific title is listed on the Seahawks' website as "veteran mentor."
Peters amassed one of the most decorated resumes for an offensive lineman in NFL history, going from undrafted in 2004 out of Arkansas to a sure-fire Hall of Famer.
