The New York Giants have had a disastrous run on the field in the last two seasons with just 4 wins and 13 losses in the 2025 season.As many remain concerned about the team, it seems the New York Giants are focused on fixing the team’s roster, especially after losing their star player, Dexter Lawrence.
New York Giants eye former Detroit Lions star player, DJ Reader after a brutal season on the field amid losing Dexter Lawrence
A few hours ago, Doug Rush of FanSided’s recent post onDoug Rush of FanSided added, “The Giants initially wanted to sign Reader and pair him with Dexter Lawrence, but Lawrence is now on the Bengals following the weekend’s trade.”The post continued, “Reader made a visit with the Giants last week, and is now expected to sign with the team once the draft is concluded.”However, the New York Giants have stayed away from confirming the speculations as the defensive lineman, DJ Reader, has also remained silent about the trade rumor.The former Detroit Lions’ star player, DJ Reader, has slightly dipped in performance since the 2024 season.Last season, DJ Reader was relatively healthy and did not sustain any injuries but he failed to perform well on the field even though he had broken records in 2024.The former Detroit Lions’ defensive lineman recorded 28 total tackles and 4 quarterback hits in 17 games.Back in 2024, as he recovered from a brutal quadriceps injury, DJ Reader started 15 games as he finished the season with roughly 23-28 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 8 quarterback hits.While DJ Reader’s performance has slightly dipped since 2024, many remain concerned about whether he would be an impactful addition to the New York Giants.With his $27.25 million contract with the Detroit Lions ending, all eyes are on where DJ Reader ends up next as many are expecting him to bounce back on the field after an average run on the field in the last season.
