Bengals haven't traditionally signed players 30+ years old to multi-year contracts.
If Reader is retained, it would only be for 2024, I think.
If that were the case, I'd offer him no more than $10 mill given his injuries and age.
That's still relatively close to his $13.25 mill AAV he got on his last contract, which was when he was in his prime.
Do that and draft a guy in Rd 2-4 range to groom for a year.
Bengals should do a club option 2nd year in case he heals up and plays well. Doesn't cost us anything and could help us get him signed.
