Bengals1181 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 according to pft, no mention on bengals.com yet. [quote]BENGALS EXTEND PEKO Posted by Michael David Smith on June 12, 2008, 3:38 p.m. Not everything happening on the first day of the Bengals’ mandatory minicamp is related to Chad Johnson. The Bengals announced today that they have signed defensive tackle Domata Peko to a five-year contract extension through the 2104 season. The rookie deal Peko signed as the Bengals’ fourth-round pick in 2006 was scheduled to expire after the 2009 season. No financial details of the new contract were announced. Peko started all 16 games at left defensive tackle in 2007, finishing the year with 65 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. A 319-pound run stuffer, Peko fills a similar role in Cincinnati to the one Tony Siragusa and Sam Adams filled in Baltimore when Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 [quote]Peko extends The Bengals today signed DT Domata Peko to a five-year contract extension. Peko's original Bengals contract ran through 2009, and he is now signed through the 2014 season. Peko (6-3, 319; Michigan State) is a third-year NFL player in 2008. He was a fourth-round Bengals choice in the 2006 draft. He started every game last season at LDT, posting 65 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. He also had a fumble recovery. As a rookie in 2006, he played in every game in the defensive line rotation and had 49 tackles. "Domata is a fine, young player who has fully proved his worth over the last two years and still has a tremendous upside," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis.

The five-year extension of the original four-year deal Peko signed as a fourth-round draft pick out of Michigan State in 2006, industry sources say, avergas about $5 million, making him the highest paid defensive tackle in Bengals history. Since '06 the 6-3, 320-pound Peko has become a regular who started 16 games last year at left defensive tackle and finished the season with 65 tackles and 1.5 sacks to go along with a pass defensed and a crucial mid-field fumble recovery in the fourth quarter of a one-point game against the Jets. Peko, the son of a minister in American Samoa, has also become of the more popular and recognizable Bengals with his flowing hair. He's the poster player for Friday night's Taste of the NFL at Paul Brown Stadium, a fundraiser for Cincinnati's FreeStoreFoodBank at 6:30 p.m. in the East Club Lounge. Peko, along with Michelle Brown, chef at Jag's Steak and Seafood in West Chester Township, are the hosts for an event attended by more than 30 restaurants. Peko, who doesn't turn 24 until November, now gets a deal industry sources figure to total about $30 million. With the selection of defensive tackles in the third round (Auburn's Pat Sims) and fifth round (Fresno's Jason Shirley) and starting right tackle John Thornton's six-year deal up after this season, the Bengals look to be moving to a younger defensive front. In a free-agent move back in March the Bengals signed 26-year-old right end Antwan Odom to a five-year deal. Meanwhile, left end Robert Geathers, 24, signed an extension before the '07 season.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jza10304 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 5 mil a year? I think is a little too much for someone who played average on a bad defense. Save that $$$ for TJ or Stacy, Whitworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 agree with Go, $5millions about the going rate for a starting DT. That's the way were headed with the cap constantly going up and maybe even disappearing. Better to sign him now than later at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Tommy Harris -- regarded as the best upcoming DT before his injury -- believed Peko would be the next great one. For the rate they got him at, I'm happy. He still needs work, but he's on the right path. Good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommando Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I like Peko, but to compare him to Siragusa and Adams at that point in their careers, key cogs to one of the greatest defenses of all time......quite a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LudwigVan Kubrick Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I like Peko too. One of my favorite Bengals. Seems like a really nice guy too. But he has yet to be anything beyond "serviceable" on the field. That being said, he is young, hasn't had a lot of talent around him, still has a big upside, should get better with age, and we got him for relatively cheap. I call this a good signing.
