Andrus Peat enters free agency, Saints teammates praise their 'most versatile o-lineman'

New Orleans Saints starting offensive line unit hasn't had much change in recent years.

All-Pro Ryan Ramczyk has manned the outside at right tackle, Terron Armstead has held down the fort at right tackle, Larry Warford has earned three Pro Bowls at right guard, and Andrus Peat has typically been at the left guard position, though he's taken snaps all over the line.

But the latter could change this offseason, as Peat is entering free agency after spending the first five years of his career in New Orleans. Peat declined to comment back in January on what the future could potentially hold for him, but he said he has treasured his time in the Crescent City.

"It's been awesome, man," Peat said of his time as a Saint during the Pro Bowl week in Orlando. "This city has been great. You can't ask for a better group of guys. I've enjoyed being in the city of New Orleans."

Armstead, the longest-tenured member of the offensive line, remembers the days after Peat was drafted 2015, admitting that time has flown by.

"Now he's five years in and entering free agency," Armstead said. "It's crazy how fast it goes. Andrus has been great and he's a great teammate.

"He's really quiet. He don't say much. I play next to him and he still don't say much, but that's just him though. He's a calm-natured guy, real quiet and reserved guy. But, I know we would all love to have him back."
