DJ Reader signs with DET

Pretty sure Detroit vetted him well enough to sign him.   He'd come back from this type of injury before without any negative fallout.   

He was just SO good at the nose tackle position.  He controlled the line of scrimmage and collapsed the pocket.  He and Hendrickson were the core of the defense.

I don't know Tart.  I hope he's a solid replacement - and if so that he signs.   But Reader was an elite NT.

I mean I don't have privileged information, so maybe they had a quality risk assessment.   But that is not their history.  They tend to make decisions on their gut.  And their gut is typically wrong.

I apologize for being so peevish.   But of all the players on this team that needed to be signed given our significant holes, he was the one.
Plus, we lost a cool nickname "Grave Digger" and the star pitcher on our football team. 

IF he stays healthy then $14Mil/Yr is a great price; but he never gave us a full season.
