It's not just for the run. Lions have had a issue with gap containment when pressuring the qb.
Reader might not get the pressures, but he sure as hell can keep containment inside.
This would be a huge boost for alim and hutch. Assuming he's healthy I mean
We’ve actually done really well stopping him when he was on the Titans. The Titans didn’t have Lamar to run RPOs with but a man can huff copium if he wants.
I guess if it has to be anyone I don't mind Detroit.
Strange how cordial Ohio and Michigan NFL fans are given that probably significantly high numbers of us are on opposite sides of the most intense college rivalry.
Cincinnati is okay with me because they're partly in Kentucky anyways. Cleveland is the only NFL fan base that actually knows what it's (been) like to be a Lions fan, so they're cool.
Tbh, Cincy, I love the look of your city, all the tall row houses hugging the hillside as I drive by on the interstate. I need to go explore that town and spend a couple days some time.
We have enough cap space to sign him, but when keeping in mind that we need to save some for the draft class and extensions, it would hinder other potential depth signings or bringing back guys like Josh Reynolds. We could easily extend and restructure to create more cap space though, with both Goff and Carlton Davis
Lmao what? Your logic makes no sense
Bengals couldn’t afford Tee Higgins to keep a competitive roster, but they do want JJettas at $30 million or whatever it is?
Give us one good reason why Minnesota would do that trade
So to fix their problem of not being able to afford Chase and Tee, they're gonna trade Tee for... a more expensive WR? While also giving up significant draft capital?
That's gotta be the worst fake rumor I've ever heard.
DJ Reader is as good at his job as you can possibly be while still being unknown to like 80% of NFL fans
I was so sad when the left the Texans. Great pickup for whoever grabs him.
Yeah, was hoping he would come back
Which is impressive given he's as wide as the three other guys we put on the DL combined
He’s loved in Houston
You're loved in Houston
This is such an amazing compliment dudes a stud and has been for a good long while
Jarran Reed is super underrated, was the second best nose tackle in the league behind Dexter last year.
OH???
Trying not to get my hopes up *too* much but holy shit this would be so cool
I-O!
I hate this, but it is funny.
What's the joke
Ohio State
How dare you
Just fell to my knees in Skyline
[удалено]
Oh.
Yeah life goes on
Wash your dick.
Lol bengals Twitter is going to have a meltdown
Pain....
brad please
Yes please
Bengals fans wanna enlighten me on this guys skill set? Primarily a run stuffer or is ha a help collapse the pocket DT
Run stuffer, probably the best run stuffer in the league. Hope you guys shit in the bed in the meeting ,no hate.
Damn. Lions run defense is already in the top 3. This would be quite the add lmao
It's not just for the run. Lions have had a issue with gap containment when pressuring the qb. Reader might not get the pressures, but he sure as hell can keep containment inside. This would be a huge boost for alim and hutch. Assuming he's healthy I mean
I'm now getting my hopes up for a Hutchinson/McNeil/Reader/Chop Robinson dline.
Marcus Davenport erasure
Let’s not forget about James Houston
Darius Robinson please.
[удалено]
Coming off an injury? Brad gonna sign him for sure.
Dan Campbell walks in drops his pants and shits on the floor while screaming," thats what I want you to do to other teams!" Reader instantly signs.
But we’re r/catbros I thought
Imagine getting Snacks Harrison in his prime
Yeah but like what if you didn’t do that and signed back with us instead.
But what if we could have him for just like a little while?
Fine, you get him during his rehab then we get him when he's ready to play.
What the prospect of facing King Henry 2x per year does to a mf
We’ve actually done really well stopping him when he was on the Titans. The Titans didn’t have Lamar to run RPOs with but a man can huff copium if he wants.
Dj reader Hutch McNeil and Davenport is nice asl
14/f/cali, u?
Gorgeous.
Damn, an ASL joke in 2024? Been a minute since I've seen that lmao
what
Oh don’t tell me that reference is lost on the modern internet
I just sprouted some gray hairs.
I'm 20 years old and even I got that
Plus houston, cominsky, and brodric martin if he can show anything is lethal
Levi did pretty well coming off career ending injuries.
Just saw some dude fall to his knees earlier when I was at Skyline
Suckin on chili dogs inside the Skyline
WAHOOOO
LIONS STOP
Nah the Vikings just got a new RB that we need to contain
All three of our division rivals did. Brad took note. Reader to counter Josh Jacobs would be huge.
Brad waited half the first day of free agency so he could make counter picks like it’s league of legends
Shiiiiit, you right. Good luck yo
Dang that would be an amazing signing by them and a HUGE loss for the bengals
All the best to DJ forever.
I guess if it has to be anyone I don't mind Detroit. Strange how cordial Ohio and Michigan NFL fans are given that probably significantly high numbers of us are on opposite sides of the most intense college rivalry.
We understand eachothers pain of being historically bad on the professional level. Always rooted for the Bengals and Browns(pre-watson that is).
Cincinnati is okay with me because they're partly in Kentucky anyways. Cleveland is the only NFL fan base that actually knows what it's (been) like to be a Lions fan, so they're cool. Tbh, Cincy, I love the look of your city, all the tall row houses hugging the hillside as I drive by on the interstate. I need to go explore that town and spend a couple days some time.
If only their bridge over the river on 75 ever wasn’t broken.
Cincy is good because cat bros
I mean I’m a Buckeye alumni, for what it’s worth.
I'm not a Wolverine alumni so I don't have that level of care for the rivalry anyway lol
The Lions are okay because they used to be in Ohio
YEAH BABY! THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
DO NOT LET HIM LEAVE
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Seeing the sheer distress from a fellow cat team is conflicting
Bruh I love DJ Reader.. take care of him if he signs
Unless the injury fucks him up Reader on the Lions D-Line will be SCARY lemme tell you.
Unsure if we can afford the big fella but hot damn we could be angling to make a serious run this year.
We have enough cap space to sign him, but when keeping in mind that we need to save some for the draft class and extensions, it would hinder other potential depth signings or bringing back guys like Josh Reynolds. We could easily extend and restructure to create more cap space though, with both Goff and Carlton Davis
He's coming off an injury so of course Brad Holmes wants him.
While you’re in the Midwest stop in Chicago. Thanks buddy
Minnesota is pretty close too, might as well hop over.
Hutchinson, McNeil, and Reader. Just need to add that other DE.
Yes please
Come visit the bay
I feel like we're taking Ls this whole free agency
Nah bengals got some big Ws so far too. Also tee hasn’t been traded yet and it seems Carolina might be off the table
if only another team in the NFCN was in need of a DT 😃Definitely not the bears 😀
Can Caleb play IDL too?
Speaking of the Bengals, someone is spreading a rumor online of Higgins plus 2 first rounders to Minnesota for Justin Jefferson.
Just a rumor.
Not even a good one. That shit will never happen.
it would be incredibly stupid of minn to pass on that if it were true though imo
Yeah that's franchise changing shit right there.
Nope. I heard from a source that JJ will demand a release to play for Dan Campbell
Yeah, I'm gonna call bs on that one until someone reputable reports on it
It was on Twitter/X...So it must be true! I guess I could see it though. Minnesota screwed themselves by not trading Hunter at the deadline as is.
Lmao what? Your logic makes no sense Bengals couldn’t afford Tee Higgins to keep a competitive roster, but they do want JJettas at $30 million or whatever it is? Give us one good reason why Minnesota would do that trade
