Nathan Peterman Latest News
Joins Falcons' practice squad
Peterman was signed to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Peterman was released by the Raiders last Tuesday after spending the preseason as an extra depth option behind Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell at quarterback. Peterman played in two games with the Bears in 2023 and he'll likely operate as an emergency backup option in Atlanta with Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix on the active roster.
Cut by Las Vegas
The Raiders released Peterman on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Peterman was brought in two weeks ago as preseason depth, and he started the Raiders' exhibition finale with Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell resting. Peterman went 12 of 19 passing for 108 yards and one touchdown, but it wasn't enough to convince the Raiders to keep him on the 53-man roster. Peterman could be an emergency QB3 on the practice squad.
Starts Friday's preseason finale
Peterman completed 12 of 19 pass attempts for 108 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason finale against the 49ers. Peterman was signed to the Raiders earlier this preseason after getting cut loose by the Saints on Aug. 2. The veteran journeyman rejoins Las Vegas for the second time in his pro career in an attempt to back up journeyman starter Gardner Minshew this upcoming season. Peterman would still have to beat out the current frontrunner for the No. 2 position, Aidan O'Connell, who was one of the healthy scratches in Friday's exhibition.
Returns to Raiders
The Raiders signed Peterman to the training camp roster Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports. Peterman was let go by the Saints on Aug. 2, and it didn't take long for the journeyman quarterback to catch onto another team. The 2017 fifth-round pick appeared in two games for the Raiders across 2020 and 2021. If Peterman wishes to secure a spot on Las Vegas' 53-man roster, he'll have to beat out Carter Bradley and Anthony Brown for the No. 3 emergency quarterback job behind Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.
Cut by New Orleans
Peterman was cut by New Orleans on Friday with the addition of Samson Nacua, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Peterman's stint with the Saints is now over after being signed to the team back in March. The 6-foot-2 quarterback was the third-string in Chicago's offense this past season, and he will now likely search for a team to give him a similar opportunity ahead of the 2024 season.
Gets chance in New Orleans
The Saints are signing Peterman to a contract Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Peterman played four snaps as the Bears' third-string quarterback last season, but didn't attempt a pass. Now, he'll get an opportunity to compete for a similar spot, if not potentially the top backup role, behind Derek Carr in New Orleans. Peterman previously backed up Carr during their time together with the Raiders.
