It wasn't long ago that he was the "must sign" UFA for this team after Green. Like a few weeks ago, literally. Let's not act like he's chopped liver just because Reader is in the fold. If he were extended most would have agreed with the move. I'd venture a guess that pretty much nobody would have gone with nose tackle as the position that this team was most likely to spend huge money on in outside free agency.
That would never ever happen Sam.
He's the only player who went to the pro bowl for the Bengals last year, and one of the only players left on the team with any street cred besides AJ, Mixon, Boyd, and Dunlap.
He's a Hall of Fame candidate who is coveted by the Bengals Franchise.
He looked like he has been on the decline b/c the Bengals have refused to give him a running mate of any sort.
Billings was supposed to be that type of guy but he had surgery on his knee his rookie year and hasn't been the player they had hoped.
Name a player who could also draw double teams like Donald has had the luck of having next to him for the last few years.
Geno is the only guy who draws double teams every game.
So, let's see how he does with Reader next to him and not as many snaps this year before you start sending our HOFer to the trash heap!?
This team is operating very differently than they have in the past. They have a new staff that's aggressively re-tooling the roster. Teams all around the league let go of terrific players over the age of 30 when it comes time to clear cap/bring in new talent. Every guy I mentioned was considered indispensable to their team a short time ago.
