D.J. Reader has agreed to a four-year, $53 millions deal with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Reader is the now the highest paid nose tackle in the league with an average compensation per year of $13.25 million.

"I'm super excited, just really excited to get out there," said Reader. "They've got good things going. They had a rough year. Hopefully, I can be one of those pieces for them."

Reader was a fifth round pick by the Houston Texans in 2016 out of Clemson.
