Mike Payton, a Detroit Lions beat writer at A to Z Sports, named the best landing spots for five of the Lions’ top free agents if they don’t come back to Detroit.
Among those impending Lions free agents is veteran defensive tackle and former Clemson standout DJ Reader.
Payton named one of Reader’s former teams – the Cincinnati Bengals – as the best landing spot for the 31-year-old and 6-foot-3, 330-pound Reader.
After being drafted by the Houston Texans in the fifth round (166th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft, Reader spent the first four seasons of his NFL career (2016-19) in Houston before playing four years with the Bengals from 2020-23.
