The Denver Broncos signed former New York Giants offensive tackle Matt Peart to a one-year contract on Wednesday, marking the team’s uncommon foray into the free agent market. “This organization has a rich history. It’s fantastic. After putting ink to paper, Peart told the official team website, “[It’s a] great culture, great atmosphere.”
Entering his five season in the NFL, Peart, 26, has played in 43 games for the Giants, who selected the 6-foot-7, 315-pound blocker with their third-round draft pick in 2020. He has made seven starts during that time.
As a college student, the UConn product started 48 games and was named to the first team of the All-AAC in 2019. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein noted in his scouting report, “Swing tackle prospect with outstanding length and athleticism, but lacking play strength and hand usage to survive against NFL competition at this time.” It’s crucial to remember that Peart can still develop stronger and that the majority of the problems are fixable.
Although he has the physical attributes to continue improving as a pro, teams may question whether he still possesses the guts and attitude at the point of attack needed to succeed in the professional ranks after four years as a starting NCAA player.” Playing both tackle places, Peart might take over the starting swing position for the Broncos, which was once occupied by veteran offensive lineman Cam Fleming, who is still an unrestricted free agent.
Additionally, by signing him, you can protect yourself from starting linebacker Garett Bolles leaving as a trade or speculative cut target.
