https://t. co/vQBN3Ixgii — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) May 5, 2026 Reader has agreed to a two-year, $12. 5 million deal with the Giants following two seasons with the Detroit Lions.
The talented big man has been a key contributor throughout his entire 10-year career, as Reader will add an instant boost to New York’s defensive line following the Dexter Lawrence trade just three weeks ago. Reader recorded 28 total tackles and four quarterback hits across 17 appearances with the Lions last season. Standing at 6-foot-3 and 330 pounds, Reader has proven to still have a lot left in the tank over the past few years despite being 31 years old, and the veteran will look to shine across the next two seasons on the Giants' defensive line.
