Veteran offensive line help is on the way to Las Vegas by way of New Orleans.

With Kolton Miller entrenched at left tackle, Peat is likely to offer depth and a veteran presence on a line that welcomes the former Saints standout, former Bears offensive lineman Cody Whitehair and second-round draft pick Jackson Powers-Johnson. He could potentially mentor Powers-Johnson or give the rookie and/or veteran guards Dylan Parham and Whitehair some competition on the interior.
After nearly a decade in the Big Easy with the Saints, the former first-rounder is headed west to try his luck in Vegas.
