Jason Peters is currently unemployed and not a member of the Philadelphia Eagles but that doesn’t mean his presence isn’t still looming large.
A free agent currently, Peters will likely land on an NFL roster thanks to stats like this one from Pro Football Focus.
According to grades and data collected by PFF, Peters was named one of the NFL’s best performers in the 4th quarter and overtime, landing on the 2019 All-Clutch team.
LT JASON PETERS, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Second Team: Taylor Decker, Detroit Lions
Peters may remain a free agent, but this man can still play at 38 years old. His overall grade of 83.4 in 2019 ranked second among all left tackles, and no player graded out better in the clutch than Peters did. It was a balanced effort with grades of 77.0 or higher as both a pass-protector and run-blocker. Peters allowed just five pressures in 114 pass-blocking snaps across these plays. His continued availability as a free agent presents an ideal opportunity for a team that needs stability up front, particularly if the current plan is rushing along a young tackle who may not be ready to step in and start right away.
Right guard Brandon Brooks landed at second-team on the list behind Dallas Cowboys right guard Zach Martin.
Peters has been in constant contact with the Eagles, but the organization appears prepared to move forward with second-year left tackle, Andre Dillard.
