General manager Tom Telesco and the Las Vegas Raiders added multiple offensive linemen in the 2024 NFL Draft.
It was a need area for the Silver and Black with some major struggles in that regard a season ago. Apparently, Telesco agrees.
Vegas has now signed one of the top remaining offensive lineman on the NFL free agent market.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, three-time Pro Bowler Andrus Peat has agreed to a deal with the Raiders.
This is a pretty signicant move for the Raiders. Peat, 30, has spent his first nine NFL seasons with the New Orleans Saints after they made the Stanford product a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

Peat started 102 of the 111 games he’s appeared in with the Saints. He earned three consecutive Pro Bowl appearances from 2018-20 before injuries caught up to the offensive lineman.
At the very least, Peat should compete with rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson to start at right guard. He could also act as a potential swing tackle for the Raiders.
