Reader was a good signing.
I think it's way too early to tell on this.
Waynes hasn't even played. We have to at least see what it looks like in this system to see if we "overpaid". You can't just write him off because he was hurt. At 14 million per he's pretty equal to what WJIII just got (13.3 million per ), and they both have an identical signing bonus (15 million). And remember, WJIII inked his deal in a lowered market. Had the cap been the same he probably would have been paid more. It's not like WJIII is some elite CB. I see no reason why we can't expect a similar overall level of play from Waynes.
As far as Reader, I keeping hearing about what a good signing he was. But if I'm being totally honest, he didn't look anywhere near worth the money we shelled out for him with what little I saw from him in 2020. Maybe he needed more time in the system, maybe the talent around him hurt him, but he didn't appear to be a game changer at all. In fact, he just looked like another run of the mill DT.
I hope Reader ends up being who we hoped he we be here. But I don't know how anyone can say he's been a good signing yet. So far he's been a terrible signing, and when he did play he didn't look all that great.
