In his 40s & actively playing in the NFL, Jason Peters often gets asked if he has a wife due to his low-key stature. So, is the offensive tackle married or dating?
The Seattle Seahawks player is not a big fan of social media and keeps himself away from it. As a result, insights into his personal life and relationship barely get into the public eye.
Given the history of NFL players settling with their partner within a few years of professional venture, many believe Peters did the same.
With the inclusion of the 2023 NFL season, Jason records 20 successful seasons in the NFL, totaling $120 million in career earnings.
Born on January 22, 1982, Jason Raynard Peters is now the oldest active NFL player at 41. He got the feat after the retirement of Tom Brady on February 1, 2023.
In November 2023, the Seattle Seahawks signed him on the active roster, where he is an alternate offensive tackle with the jersey number #70.
He plays alongside Drew Lock, DK Metcalf, Charles Cross, and Derick Hall, among others.
Peters, an alum of Arkansas Razorbacks, was the undrafted pick of the Buffalo Bills (2004-08) in the 2004 NFL draft.
Over the years, he played for the NFL teams, Philadelphia Eagles (2009-20), Chicago Bears (2021), and Dallas Cowboys (2022) before joining the Seahawks.
With the Eagles, he won the Super Bowl LII in a 41-33 victory against the Patriots.
