Bengals salary cap breakdown: Defensive Tackle

The Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle position is in a state of uncertainty. Are they improving or declining? Either way, they account for 9.8 percent of the team's total salary cap in 2015.

The Cincinnati Bengals combined cap number for defensive tackles ranks fourth in the NFL, with $14.9 million against the 2015 cap -- which accounts for 9.8 percent of the team's cap. As it stands right now, defensive tackle is in a status of degradation without much redeeming value as Geno Atkins recovers from a 2013 ACL tear and as Domata Peko's age increases his worth on the team decreases.
