DJ Reader may be 29 years old and gets dinged up but who are you going to replace him with? Who is the proven elite run stopper we are getting to replace Reader so we can shut down the Cleveland, Baltimore, Pittsburgh rushing attacks?
That’s Duke’s job to figure out, not mine. But Hubbard is an elite run stopper on the edge. And they have him for 3 more seasons.
Also, the Bengals are not traditionally big on giving out 3rd contracts, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t end up re-signing Reader.
