Big Loss for the Bengals D.J. Reader agrees with Lions

[Woodman]

According to multiple reports, the Lions have agreed to sign defensive tackle D.J. Reader to a two-year deal worth up to $27.25 million.
Reader, 29, suffered a torn quad late in the 2023 season that sidelined him for Cincinnati’s last three games. But he finished the year with 34 total tackles, two tackles for loss, seven QB hits, and a sack.
Known as a strong run stuffer, Reader should provide a boost to Detroit’s defense whenever he’s healthy.
A fifth-round pick in 2016, Reader played his first four years with the Texans before signing with the Bengals in 2020. In 105 career games, he’s recorded 23 tackles for loss, 44 QB hits, 9.5 sacks, and eight passes defensed.

In addition to losing D.J. Reader the Bengals also lost Jonah Williams ..... who's next


The Cardinals agreed to terms with free agent offensive tackle Jonah Williams on Wednesday.
He will replace D.J. Humphries, who the Cardinals officially released after nine seasons.
Humphries is rehabbing from a torn ACL on New Year’s Eve against the Eagles, so he will not be ready for the start of the 2024 season.
The Cardinals will save roughly $9 million against their salary cap.
