8. Jason Peters, LT, Philadelphia Eagles
At 38-years old, the veteran left tackle is not a long-term answer for any organization. But Jason Peters is still playing at a very high level, and last season he allowed just three sacks and 21 total pressures, a very impressive number for a veteran left tackle on an offense that threw the football a ton. If you look at his pass blocking grades from Pro Football Focus, Peters has not seen his grade dip below 75 since 2008, his final season with the Buffalo Bills.
If you want a taste of what Peters can still do, I would highly recommend some of the work that noted offensive line guru Brandon Thorn has put together on Twitter. In this clip, Thorn breaks down some of Peters’ technical work from early in the 2018 season:
Jason Peters was again amazing in week 3. A little of everything here, starting with his beautiful pass set & punishing 2-hand strike. 3 slingshots in a row, pulling/leading, & finishing up with him wiping out the DE: pic.twitter.com/frx7WoBm9V

Thorn has also collected all of his work on Peters in one handy spot, which you can find here:

Again, he might not be the long-term answer at left tackle for a team. But an organization that, say, might have some offensive line woes but has a short window for winning, given a veteran quarterback they just signed, might want to give Peters a call.
Does that sound like anyone in particular?
