Don't use Bengals situation as cover for failed draft picks and bad free agent signing contracts (Von Miller).

Wasn't a bad signing. He just got injured at an unfortunate time. Reader missed 7, almost 8 games this season. He just had the good luck of getting hurt early in the year, doesn't make it a bad signing.

He had 8 sacks in 11 games. That's as many as Hendrickson got in 15 games. Miller had only missed 3 games in the previous 7 years before this year and helped carry his teams to SB wins the last 2 times he was in the postseason, getting 9 sacks, 3 FF, and 1 INT in 7 games.

Funny thing about his comments is that he's not wrong that it is easier to make a great team with a QB and #1 WR on rookie deals, but Allen and Diggs didn't even have huge cap hits in 2022 so it just smells like an excuse. Now 2023 is another story as they are going to combine for about $60m in cap hits.
