Overview
- Peat announced his retirement in an Instagram post over the weekend, thanking coaches, teammates and his wife and sons and saying he is ready for the next chapter.
- A 2015 first‑round pick out of Stanford, Peat spent the bulk of his career with the New Orleans Saints and earned three straight Pro Bowl nods from 2018 to 2020.
- He finished his 11 seasons with brief stops at the Las Vegas Raiders (2024) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (2025) after nine seasons in New Orleans.
- Recurring injuries, including a broken arm in 2019 and a torn pectoral in 2021, reduced his playing time late in his career and factored into his decision to step away.
- Coverage confirms the retirement but shows inconsistent totals for games and starts and differing estimates of career earnings, so official league records and contract filings are the most reliable sources for precise stats and pay figures.
