Sure, the offense picked up the slack, and the results were wins, but that defense took a noticeable step back when Reader wasn’t there

I really wonder what some fans are looking at when the game is on...

I disagree with you often, Frank, but this is most definitely not one of them. The run D took a huge step back when Reader was out. He is the anchor our D is built around. I lean heavily towards an extension. 

How things go this year will obviously play a part. And just like with losing Bell, Bates, & Hurst allowed for an unexpected Brown signing, so to next year. If Higgins plays hardball & Boyd dies not, & Iosivas explodes, who knows? 

2024 FA, (Potential replacements): 

1. Jonah Williams, $12.6 mil, RT (Carman, Collins) 
2. Joe Mixon, $13.1 mil team option ($2.75 dead cap) (Chase Brown) 
------------------------
3. Tyler Boyd, $10.3 mil (Charlie Davis) 
4. Chido Awuzie, $7.9 mil (DJ Turner) 
--------------
5. DJ Reader, $15.5 mil (no one, Tupou, also a FA)
6. Tee Higgins, $4 mil (likely $20 if extended) (Andrei Iosivas) 
7. Logan Wilson, $3 mil ($7-10 mil if extended) (ADG) 

We could also save $15 mil but cutting Hendrickson or $7 mil by cutting Collins.
