Veteran defensive lineman Domata Peko had a visit with the Detroit Lions according to a video posted by TMZ Sports. Peko told TMZ camera's that he had a visit with the Lions and that his agent was trying to work some things out.
Peko turns 35 years old this fall. He has a very solid NFL career, making 186 starts in 13 seasons. Peko played the last two seasons with the Denver Broncos but was informed in February that Denver wouldn't re-sign him.
Peko said earlier this offseason that he still felt he had a few years left in the NFL and preferred to play his career out.
“I think I have a couple more years in the tank,” Peko said, via NFL.com. “My agent’s trying to work some stuff out. We’re gonna see; just being patient with it and enjoying this time with my family.”
“I would love to play here in L.A.,” Peko said. “I’m all about L.A., grew up in Whittier. So, dude, if the Rams come calling or the Chargers, I would love to do that.”
Even though Domata Peko would like to play in L.A., he hasn't received any offers from the Rams or Chargers. If he wants to continue to play in the NFL, the Lions might be the only choice.
He wouldn't be a starter with the Lions, but he could be a good rotational player who would provide depth and could step up if one of the starters went down with an injury.
