<em>Domata Peko has been a staple on the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive line for years. Could 2017 be the year the team decides to cut ties?</em>Domata Peko has been one of the marquee players for the Bengals this decade. Whether having a great or subpar performance Womens Ryan Glasgow Jersey , he seems to always be brought back for another couple of years.Last season, Peko had a down year. After posting five sacks in 2015, he had zero this past season, at the age of 32. While not known as a sackartist, to begin with,there’s no question his play is on the decline. So. would it be worthwhile to have Peko play his 11th season in the Jungle?Article continues below ...I personally vote yes, as long as it’s in a reduced role. I still think Peko holds some value for the Bengals as a leader and as a strong locker room presence.

If Peko will sign for closer to the veteran minimum than the$4.5 million averagehis last contract was($9 million for two years) then it would be worth it in my book.Peko seems to have his fair share of haters andI think there is an argument to be had there. But, I for one think his value to the team goes beyond the stat sheet. I liked comparing him to David Ross of the Cubs this year. Neither of them is the best at their position on the team and both are past their prime. But, you can’t imagine winning a championship without them on the team.Next: Trevor Roach RetiresThe Future at the PositionI’m a big fan of Andrew Billings and have high hopes for his “rookie” year. Billings anchored next to Geno Atkins has the potential to solidify the middle of the Bengals’ D-line for years to come. By carrying four to five guys who can play DT Hardy Nickerson Jersey , the Bengals can afford to drop Peko down the depth chart. It all depends on how Brandon Thompson recovers and Marcus Hardison develops. Cutting Pat Sims and reallocating his contract to a new one for Peko could open the roster spot and keep the cap hit reasonable.More from Stripe HypeTrevor Roach Tells Bengals, NFL Goodbye4h agoBengals’ Andy Dalton Is A Super Bowl Caliber Quarterback8h agoMaking A Case For Bengals’ Possible 2017 Draft Picks1 d agoWho Dey Notes: Bengals’ McCarron, Chris Brown Gets The Call1 d agoNFL Draft 2017: Bengals May Need To Replace Rex Burkhead1 d agoThis article originally appeared on The Bengals announced the hiring of two assistant coaches, with senior defensive assistant Mark Duffner and defensive assistant Gerald Chatman completing the staff.
