Domata Peko has played all 16 games in 10 of 11 seasons. That's incredible. Elway may have saved the DL today. #9sports

The nose tackle had spent his entire 11-year career with the Bengals, who drafted him out of Michigan State in 2006.
Peko will be joining his cousin, Kyle Peko, in Denver. He played in one game as a rookie for the Broncos last season.

The team may hope it drafted his successor last year in Andrew Billings, though he missed all of what would have been his rookie season after suffering a knee injury in preseason camp.
Peko's departure comes two days after the team lost offensive linemen Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler to free agent deals with the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns, respectively.
The Bengals have re-signed cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, receiver Brandon LaFell and offensive lineman Eric Winston.
