Demarcus ware went from 19.5 his age 29 season, and never had over 11.5 after that. He played 5 more years and had 10 and 11.5.
Jared Allen went from 22, age 29 season to not having more than 12. He has two seasons of double digit sacks, out of 6, after 30.


Similar for Terrell Suggs, Dwight freeney, and most DEs all time.  Trey may be an outlier, but the data shows a likely decline (maybe steep) within 2 years, meaning this year or next.

Vonn Miller tore his ACL and was never the same. Demarcus Ware had 10 and 11.5 sacks, I mean that's pretty good. He had a great year in 2014. That's top 10 and he had a bunch of QB hits, very productive season. 

I think at times we take for granted PRODUCTION and focus too much on ELITE production. No one is asking Trey to have 20 sacks by his age 33 season. If he can still get to the QB, have 10 sacks, cause disruption, then that is all we are asking for. Given the current state of this DL, I'd more than take that. 

Yes his best years are most likely behind him, that doesn't mean he can't be a very productive player still.
