30 is old in NFL terms once you remove the protected QBs, Kickers, Punters, or Longsnappers from the equation. The rookie wage scale has made paying guys in their 30s less common than it used to be. Only the Ravens in the AFCN had more than 1 starter that wasn't one of those at age 30+ last year. The only guy the Bengals had was backup S Michael Thomas who made 0 starts and played 25 defensive snaps, with 21 of the 25 coming in the Carolina blowout win where they were up 42-7.
The only time a player 30+ has started for the Bengals defense in the last 2 years was the 2021 backup game against the Ravens.
