The talent disparity along the Bengals’ defensive line is quite amazing. Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap are both top-15 players at their respective positions, but the line didn’t feature a single other player with a competent grade in 2016. Michael Johnson, Domata Peko, Pat Sims, and Will Clarke all saw more than 350 snaps, with none of them grading higher than 46.6.

This is the final grade from last season.  You sure you still want to consider MJ a good run stopping DE?

He's just not that good anymore.  Aside from 2012, he's never been a great pass rusher.  He's not that good against the run anymore, and he doesn't bat down as many passes as he used to.  He might do better in a rotational role off the bench,but he's being paid too much for that.  If Chris Smith continues to flash, I would personally cut bait.
