Is Eric Reid invisible?

The truth is, he has had some injuries, mainly concussions, but he is still a top 20, if not 15, safety in the NFL. He could be better in coverage, but he's not dog meat. And, the thing is, his best years could still be ahead of him as he is young! All this other bullshit that some of you are talking is just that!

But believe what you want! I research this kind of stuff, so I know what the hell I'm talking about.

I can't believe so may think the players are different than the general population in the USA. This protest by kneeling during the anthem is clearly divisive based on various reports and message board content. No team wants that sort of divisiveness in their locker room. It doesn't matter how good they were or how good anybody believes they are going forward,  their talent cannot overcome the negative impact on the TEAM.

Please... players kneeled all over the NFL.   Locker rooms weren't divided.   Locker rooms are not like the general population of the USA.  There is a lot more diversity and interaction than most places in society.  

You are correct however this is a divisive issue.  However his kneeling should not be a reason he isn't on a team right now.  If it is, then its bullshit.  He would be an upgrade by a significant margin.  

Also, talent trumps everything.  People have been overlooking issues on players since forever.  Only reason Eric Reid isn't signed is because of the media circus involved.  Wouldn't even be that huge since he isn't as known as Kapernick.   It's stupid if we aren't realistically trying to sign him due to collusion with the rest of the NFL.  If its due to contract demands, injury concerns.. then ok.  But if we can keep Amini fricking Silatolu on this roster, then we can make room for Eric Reid.

He so good in coverage SF had to move him to linebacker last season

Think that had to do with the guy behind him Tartt is a fugging monster.    Like probably one of the top 5 in the league good.  

Eric Reid was too good to leave off the field but Tartt was a better strong safety.  That being said, here in Carolina....lets say..I don't see anyone on the current roster beating him out at the moment.

Tratt a monster lol in what universe? When have you heard of a safety with good coverage skills being moved to linebacker. That’s right never

 

Adams whose a fossil is better in coverage than Reid, we have enough run stoppers.

Honestly it really is likely a combination of both.You know team and owners that are like Dallas and Jerry Jones won't sign him due to the whole kneeling thing. At the same time teams and owners like the Jaguars and Shad Khan who supported and encouraged their players to feel free to kneel if they would like, likely haven't signed him due to the amount of money he wants. Kind of a double edged sword right now. Tepper likely falls into the second category if I had to put out a guess. Given his roots from the Pittsburgh ownership, I'd say he'd likely have the team united stay in the back or in the tunnel like the Steeler's attempted if not for the slight miscommunication.

I think you probably hit the nail on the head.  It has to be a combination of factors.  That's the only thing that makes sense.

If he was good enough and not asking for more than market value, he would have been signed already.

Yeah you have literally 0 evidence that this is true. We have no idea what he is asking nor do we know if we have even been in touch

Honestly, I can understand on some level us not reaching out (the distraction), but to claim he is asking for above market value as the reason is just so obtuse. 

Edit: and clearly he is fuging good enough

"Person also reports that coach Ron Rivera, who himself is the son of a veteran, believes players should find different ways to protest but is concerned about making sure the Panthers locker room does not become fractured; hence why he reportedly spoke to his team on Monday about the issues."

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
