Welcome back? Seahawks visit with 42-year-old Jason Peters
The Seattle Seahawks are hosting a familiar face.
Field Yates reported on Tuesday that 42-year-old offensive tackle Jason Peters is being hosted by Seattle. Peters played in eight games for the Seahawks last year, starting in two of them (all at right tackle.) This workout may be somewhat surprising for Seattle as Peters is 42 years old (if signed, Peters would be the oldest active NFL player, with Aaron Rodgers second at 40.)
However, what is not surprising is that the Seahawks are hosting an offensive tackle. Abe Lucas is eligible to come off the reserve/PUP list after week four, however Head Coach Mike Macdonald has remained mum on that potential return. “I don’t want to put a timeline on Abe right now . . . we have kind of an in-house timeline with him and we’re working through it. But I’m not going to put a timeline on him right now.”
The injury concerns at right tackle don’t end there. Lucas’ backup, George Fant was also placed on reserve/IR just last week and isn’t eligible to return until after Week 6. Since Fant went down with injury during week one, Stone Forsythe has been playing at right tackle, garnering mixed results. The Seahawks have rookie Mike Jarrell, and recent practice squad call-up, McClendon Curtis (both of whom have never started an NFL game) as depth behind Forsythe for now.
It is that lack of experience behind Forsythe that may be causing John Schneider to pick up the phone for Peters. In the league since 2004 (that’s right, 2004) Peters has started 221(!) games in his career, for five different teams. Though far away from his All-Pro prime (Peters earned a measly 53.9 overall grade in 2023 for Seattle), Peters surely could bring some much needed wisdom to the very young offensive tackle room in Seattle. One thing to note, if Peters signs, it doesn’t have to be onto the 53-man roster. Currently Seattle has no offensive lineman on the practice squad, so Peters could make a great fit there.

COUNTDOWN: Five weeks until you can help West Seattle Food Bank ‘Nourish & Flourish.’ Special guest revealed!
Five weeks from tonight – on Saturday, May 2 – you can help the West Seattle Food Bank “Nourish and Flourish” by being part of its annual dinneer and auction, as an attendee and/or sponsor. This week, a special guest was revealed – here’s the WSFB announcement:
The West Seattle Food Bank (WSFB) is pleased to announce that Seattle comedian Scott Losse will join this year’s Nourish & Flourish gala as a special guest, bringing humor and heart to an evening dedicated to community, compassion, and impact.
Losse — recently featured as an “Undisputable Champion of Comedy” in The Stranger — is known for his sharp, relatable takes on life in the Pacific Northwest and his ability to connect audiences through both humor and honesty.
At Nourish & Flourish, Losse will provide a moment of levity during the program, helping to balance the evening’s powerful stories of need and resilience with laughter—an essential ingredient in bringing communities together.
“This event is about nourishing hope,” said Robbin Peterson, Development Director at West Seattle Food Bank. “Scott’s ability to help people laugh, even in challenging times, reflects exactly what community looks like— showing up for one another with both compassion and joy.”
Losse’s connection to West Seattle Food Bank is deeply personal. His wife Janelle was inspired to pursue a career in social services and nonprofit work after volunteering as a child alongside her grandmother — who was one of WSFB’s volunteers in the early years of the food bank.
“That legacy of service — passed from one generation to the next — is exactly what we see every day at the food bank,” Peterson added. “It’s neighbors helping neighbors, steadfastly across time.”
Nourish & Flourish will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 4105 in SODO, bringing together 300 community members for an evening of storytelling, fundraising, and celebration. Proceeds support WSFB’s vital programs, including food access, housing stability, and essential services for thousands of neighbors across West Seattle.
In 2025 alone, West Seattle Food Bank distributed more than 2.25 million pounds of food, served over 23,000 individuals, and helped keep hundreds of families housed.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at:

WSB is media sponsor of Nourish & Flourish. See you there!

The Seattle Seahawks are hiring former UW Huskies offensive coordinator Jimmie Dougherty as an offensive assistant, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Friday.
What Bump makes of Seahawks’ visit with RB Najee Harris
This will be the first NFL job for the 47-year-old Dougherty, who has spent the past 24 seasons coaching at the college level. He was with the Huskies during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, serving as the team’s passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2024 and offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2025. Dougherty was not the play-caller for UW under head coach Jedd Fisch.
Dougherty left his position at UW in February.
Dougherty also coached at UW from 2009-2012 as wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator under Steve Sarkisian.
Dougherty’s previous college stops include Illinois Wesleyan, San Diego, San Jose State, Michigan, UCLA and Arizona. While at Michigan as an offensive assistant in 2016, he coached alongside Seahawks special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh and under then-head coach Jim Harbaugh. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald coached under Jim and alongside Jay when he was Michigan’s defensive coordinator in 2021.
Dougherty played quarterback in college at the University of Missouri from 1997-2001 and was the starter in 1999.
