Veteran has spent his entire career with New Orleans
Las Vegas Raiders’ general manager Tom Telesco is easy in the post-draft roster addition period as the team has agreed to terms with former New Orleans Saints starter Andrus Peat, according to NFL Media.

Earlier Monday, the Raiders signed veteran backup wide receiver Jalen Guyton, who spent his first five NFL seasons with Telesco with the Los Angeles Chargers. Last Monday, the Raiders signed former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup, two days after the 2024 NFL draft concluded. In total, the Raiders have signed eight unrestricted free agents who played elsewhere last season.
Like Gallup and Guyton, Peat will likely be a rotational piece. Most of his experience in his nine-season career has been at left guard. He played left tackle in 2023. He has little experience at right tackle, where the Raiders are likely going to give third-year player Thayer Munford the first crack to start.
Peat, 30, was the No. 13 overall draft pick from Stanford in 2015. He has 102 career starts, including 12 last season.
