Overview
- Peat announced his retirement on Aug. 2, 2026, posting on Instagram that he was stepping away after 11 seasons in the league.
- He was the No. 13 overall pick out of Stanford in 2015 and spent nine seasons as a core offensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints.
- Peat earned three straight Pro Bowl selections from 2018 through 2020 and finished his career with short stints at the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Recurring injuries, including a broken arm in 2019, a torn pectoral in 2021 and a concussion in 2025, reduced his snaps and contributed to his late-career role decline.
- Peat leaves a legacy of reliability and leadership on the line and his retirement creates modest roster room for teams that had already been adjusting their offensive-line plans; his family’s multi-sport profile includes father Todd Peat’s NFL tenure and brother Koa’s 2026 NBA first-round selection.
