The Cincinnati Bengals are re-upping with defensive lineman Mike Daniels after liking what they saw from the veteran last year.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news: “The Bengals are re-signing veteran DL Mike Daniels to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million, per source.”

Daniels joined the team after the defensive tackle spot suffered a wealth of setbacks last year and ultimately played in 11 games while serving a key rotational role.

Going into his age-32 season, Daniels is better positioned this year to serve as a depth piece who can be more effective on a pitch count. He’ll rotate in with D.J. Reader, a returning Josh Tupou and new free-agent add Larry Ogunjobi.

Even with this move, the Bengals could still add further pieces to the line in free agency or the draft, especially after last year’s depth woes.
