Giants Bet on Reader to Fix Run Defense | New York Giants News

The Giants are betting big on D.J. Reader to fix their leaky run defense, signing the veteran nose tackle for $12.5M to fill the void left by traded star Dexter Lawrence. At 32, Reader brings gritty experience and a solid PFF grade from his Lions stint — even without sacks, he’s a reliable run-stopper. He’ll rotate with Leki Fotu and teammates like Harris and Alexander, with outside linebackers helping contain the edge. This isn’t a solo mission — but if the whole unit clicks, the Giants’ defense could finally stop the run. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
