Free agent LT Jason Peters, 40, meets with Cowboys
Free agent left tackle Jason Peters met with the Dallas Cowboys on Friday.
Owner Jerry Jones said he planned to meet with the 40-year-old veteran following Peters’ physical exams.
Earlier this week, Jones insisted he was comfortable entering the season with untested 21-year-old rookie Tyler Smith at left tackle.
Peters, with 218 career NFL starts under his belt, could serve as a mentor for the 2022 first-round pick at a critical position.
Peters could also provide needed depth with veteran starter Tyron Smith on injured reserve with a knee injury.
Peters started 15 games for the Chicago Bears in 2021 after earning nine Pro Bowl selections in 16 seasons with the Buffalo Bills (2004-08) and Philadelphia Eagles (2009-20).
Undrafted out of Arkansas in 2004, Peters has started 218 of his 228 career NFL games. He won a ring with the Eagles in Super Bowl LII and was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2010s.
The Cowboys open the season at home Sept. 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
