D.J. Reader Heads To Bengals
5 years agoThe Cincinnati Bengals agreed to a four-year, $53 million deal with defensive tackle D.J. Reader on Tuesday, according to sources. The deal makes him the highest-paid nose tackle in the league. It's well-deserved, as Reader is one of the best nose tackles in the NFL, and he'll help stop the run in his new home in Cincy. The 25-year-old former fifth-round pick in 2016 had 2.5 sacks, 52 tackles (28 solo), six tackles for loss and 13 QB hits in 15 games in his final season with Houston. Reader doesn't do much for fantasy owners in IDP leagues, but he'll surely improve Cincinnati's defensive line up the gut.
