I am afraid it won't be a slow decline. It will be a cliff.
He's also the 2nd best tackle in the league, and you have to consider his play more than his age. You have his backup there waiting, but as long as he's playing as well as he's playing, you let him play. To do otherwise is lunacy. Remember the Stoolers cutting Harrison a few years back because he was "too old"? Guess what, he's still playing and they had to eat their words. Whit told the Bengals when they drafted two tackles.. "You can do what you want, but I'm playing" and he walked the walk to go with the talk. Are you really going to replace him with someone who is younger but not as good?
