The Cincinnati Bengals want to keep NT D.J. Reader around. They paid him big bucks in free agency several years back to stuff the run, and liked what they saw. Now a free agent, defensive coordinator Luo Anarumo understands he’s going to test the market and sign wherever best suits him.
Accordingly, he’s doing his due diligence to study the alternative options out there in veteran free agency. And when he’s watching their film, he’s looking for specific things—that is, tape against specific opponents.
“When I watch the free agents that are in the league now, I hope and pray that they played against our division”, he said, via the Bengals’ website.
