As a 30-year DT, Reader wants to protect himself.  The Bengals see a 30-year-old DT, while extremely productive when he plays, missed playing for what amounts to 1/3rd of his contract.  He is coming off a serious leg injury.  They didn't want a lot of dead money if he got hurt again or couldn't play at the same level

I love DJ, but in this case I can easily see both sides

Don't look at the guaranteed money he received..
