Not if they're any good, and even then Reader is averaging 41% as a Bengal. IR 3 times in 4 years.
Dexter Lawrence last two years were 63% and 76%.
Jarran Reed at 68% and 68%.
Grady Jarrett tore his ACL last year, but the two years before that were 76% and 74%.
Vita Vea is indeed there at 54% and 48%, but at least brings higher level play.
Harrison Phillips at 74% and 60%.
If Reader could stay healthy and play 60% of the snaps? Absolutely re-sign him. He can't stay healthy, though. You can't give him a pile of money only to have his backup play nearly 2/3rds of the snaps.
