We made an offer. The Lions saw them. And the man himself said this time was less severe. We are 4 months out. 

Is there a risk? Sure. But $5.8 is chump change. We could have opened up over $4 mil by doing a simple restructure on Brown. Making the 2024 risk on Reader a paltry $1.6 mil. Crap  we could net that by cutting Carman. Not to mention, we are sitting on $20 mil in space as it is. 

The combination of NOT doing both things is borderline incompetent. 

The Reader risk for $5.8 is an easy call. For under $2 mil? Absurdly easy. 

This is why the Chiefs win and we don't.

You have no idea what his medicals said, or how comfortable the Bengals were with them.  Presumably not very comfortable or they could have signed him.. they passed.
