Have you noticed that? They have virtuallyone or 2 guys on their 3rd deal. This is why I think reader is going to be gone. Not that he isn't an A++ dude and player, but I just think they got killed with Atkins contract and some others and just want to keep reloading with 2nd contract guys.
MArvin, however, was going balls deep on vets. ZT is nearly the exact opposite.
I hope Reader is the outlier here, he doesn't play a ton of snaps so he could last longer than people think. Also the fact that he doesn't
play a lot of snaps and he is getting older should make him affordable for a couple more years while he still has it. I don't want to go back
to getting ran over by the Browns and Nick Chubb. We lose Reader and we have no one to take his place.
We would of drafted Benton or one of the other NT's if we thought about letting Reader go after this year IMO.
