No, you are not experiencing Déjà vu, you did in fact read this headline correctly. On Tuesday afternoon it was announced the Seattle Seahawks hosted 42-year old veteran tackle Jason Peters for a workout. The reason why this sounds familiar to you is because the then-41 year old Peters played in eight games last year for the Seahawks.
Now, it appears a reunion could be on the table between the future Hall of Famer and his former team.

Despite their best efforts this offseason, the Seahawks’ offensive line is in shambles once again. The health of Abe Lucas continues to be the largest problem, as he was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the season due to a knee procedure he had this past winter. Unfortunately, there is no concrete timeline for Lucas to return. At least, not one head coach Mike Macdonald is willing to share publicly.
As for Lucas’ primary backup George Fant, he was placed on Injured Reserve this past weekend and brought up McClendon Curtis in his place. The other in-house options for Seattle are rookies Michael Jerrell and Sataoa Laumea, who have been inactive for every game this season.
Ironically, my initial post-draft analysis for the Laumea pick was the Seahawks were trying their best to ensure they would not be in a situation where they’d have to rely on someone like Jason Peters.
A visit does not confirm Seattle is intent on signing Peters, but the two sides are obviously familiar with each other, and there is a clear need for depth. Stone Forsythe has performed admirably in his new starting role, but the Seahawks clearly need a contingency plan behind him.
