On that we agree as far as him not likely getting a 3rd contract, not so much because of his play, but because of how the Bengals like to do business. I think who they draft will be based on BPA, meaning they could go safety or corner, if they go safety it would allow them to move Dax to slot corner
Weird not sure why I thought he was a FA, I looked it up, memory must not have been serving me. Anyway here is his contract.

There is absolute zero chance the team cuts Mike Hilton. He may have started the season off slow, but he was the best CB on the field by the end of it. He and Britt are basically the leaders in the 2ndary. I have no idea how anyone could think this.
Reader also comes off the books, and unfortunately due to his injury situation, I think he won't get a deal or at least not a good one, until next year. Personally, I'd give him just above the vet minium this year with the follow-on 2 years much more. This gives him a place to stick and rehab and be ready for our playoff run next year but also rewards him for staying. If he wants money now I think because of the injury the team will move on completely.
