Over the previous 12 seasons, Domata Peko has begun double-digit games every fall.
With 13 years of NFL service under his belt, the 34-year-old free representative believes he has some more starts in him.
“I think I have a few more years at the tank,” the defensive tackle told TMZ Sports in an interview published Wednesday.
According to Peko, the team that is currently showing the best interest is that the Detroit Lions, with whom he visited last week.
“My representative’s trying to work some stuff out,” he explained. “We’re gont see; just being patient with it and enjoying this time with my family.”

Together with his family, the former Bengals and Broncos newcomer is spending some time in sunny Southern California and he would not mind heading back on a more permanent basis.
“I’d love to play in L.A.,” explained Peko, who started 16 games for the Broncos in 2018 with 31 tackles tallied. “I’m about L.A., grown up in Whittier. So, dude, if the Rams come phoning or the Chargers, I would love to do this.”
Before he had been chosen in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of Michigan State, Peko continue played football in California within his junior college days when he played with at College of the Canyons, that has also produced the likes of pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul and receiver Marquise”Hollywood” Brown.
Asked whether he would prefer lining up next to Rams all-world defensive tackle Aaron Donald or Chargers pass-rushing standout Joey Bosa, Peko did not hesitate to decide on the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
“I would like to be with Aaron Donald,” said Peko, who spent the first 11 seasons of his career in Cincinnati. “That would be dope.”
Locking on a sales pitch, he also had a message for Donald’s head coach, Sean McVay.
“Coach McVay, your boy friend Domata Peko here ready to proceed, and I would love to come back out here and represent L.A. and try to pursue that championship,” Peko said.
The 6-foot-3, 325-pound Peko could still provide a run stuffer in the center and an experienced starting presence to any defensive lineup.
Judging by his remarks, the Lions are likely his top suitor, but putting a big-bodied veteran alongside Aaron Donald worked for the Rams last season, so who knows?
