I wish him better luck with his Dad's team than he had in NOLA.

Had it not been for all the injuries Peat would have been looked on more favorability during his time in Saints nation. He was incredibly athletic for an OLmen and quite versatile. He just couldn't stay on the field and that is his biggest knock because he is a very good OLmen.

In my opinion Peat was sabotaged by the Saints drafting him to play him out of position but as an occasional backup for his true position behind Armstead who was often injured. Peat has always been a decent left tackle. He can’t play right tackle because he cant adjust to the right side and is inconsistent as a guard because of his lanky build. So the plan was to play him out of position but occasionally rotate him to his true position just to keep him guessing. At left tackle last year he was decent, but if he is asked to play every position he will get hurt. At least he can play one more position than Penning though.

Peat's salary was not sabotaged, however.

Have you seen the salaries of offensive linemen across the league recently?

Peat got an average of $11.5M per year. There's 50 offensive linemen making that or more per year currently.

Current salaries are offensive... and overvalued. The reference was to his previous compensation as a Saint, not as a projection as a previous Saint.

Current salaries are driven directly by the salary cap by way of revenues. The league is required by the CBA to commit between 48% and 49% of total revenues to player salaries via the cap. The league is required to spend 95% of that cap as a whole. Current salaries are not offensive nor overvalued. They are mandated and thus contractually valued accordingly. I have never had, nor ever will, have any issue with what any player gets paid. They are worth precisely what their employer is willing, and able, to pay.
