I say no, I say he either takes a pay cut or we look for another RB in the draft or FA.
His production does not equate to a huge contract for a RB in my humble opinion.
Correct. He made his money when the Bengals had problems attracting free agents and were happy to keep one of their own. It's very likely they could draft two running backs (2nd-4th, 5th-7th) and be close in production and block better. It's hard to justify keeping his contract when there are so many 2024 free agents. They can pull money forward for another 2 years for a guy like Reader.
