This may see the Bengals target a DT in round 2 or 3 of the draft this year.
I don't care, DJ was playing the best of his career last season. I think he could be elite for 2 or 3 more years. We need him.
At least a couple year extension for DJ would make me feel so much better about our Defense.

The strength of our defense starts up front with the Dline and the anchor of that line is Reader. We can't afford not having Reader. Everybody witnessed what Cleveland was able to do to the Bengals defense without Reader. I think we need to extend him before the season starts. Dont let him play his final year and have him become a free agent. You want to see the Bengals defense fall apart? If we dont have Reader in 2024 we will see it.
I don't know if the Defense would fall apart, depends on the moves but I sure as hell wouldn't gamble on it. Yes, get the deal done before
the season along with the Burrow and Wilson deals. If we extend Tee, great but I think all these of these players are the most important for
the future besides Chase of course and building up the trenches on both sides. Don't gamble and lose your best DT.
