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.

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
