NFL/PA deny targeting Eric Reid

[RumHam]

If he truly wasn't drug tested as much as he said he was, then he's trying to start poo and he can go ahead and show himself the door. It's no coincidence that our record with him on the team was much worse than when he was off the team. 

[Waldo]

Ugh, this is crazy land. Can the panthers not have one safety on our roster worth playing without dealing with ridiculous drama? Just one, I'm not even asking for a pair. Damn what a poopshow

[MillionDollarCam]

If he lied then he’s done in the NFL and I feel like he would know that.

If Reid has access to the reports and releases them then this is gonna be a mess.

@JARROD stop tap dancing like a little chickenshit and just come out and call Reid an uppity ****** like we all know you want to.

If mods won't handle it then longtime huddlers need to step in and start calling this poo for what it actually is.

Seems nobody here can comprehend this. I bet not one of these people here have been in a situation getting hit with drug tests and being always being on the list each month unless they were part of military or a company. This has nothing to do with being targeted since that person being tested has nothing to fear by getting it done if they are clean or have a history of being clean for a test. If you have a history then you will most likely be the one getting hit because you used unauthorized substances several times in past.

As far as I know, Reid doesn't have a history of drugs so he should be tested as frequently as he has been.  It's not like he's built like LaRon Landry or something so there's no need for the frequent testing..

So Reid is saying the dates and amount of times he’s been tested that showed up on the report are wrong.

He’s insinuating that that the NFL is leaving dates and tests off the report and the NFL is stating that Reid is lying...

 

[MechaZain]

Giving him the benefit of doubt until I hear his side because that doesn't make sense. Lied knowing the NFL could say "we didn't test him this week" at anytime and blow the entire cover?

[TheRed]

I have serious doubts Eric Reid would be dumb enough to lie about that.

It's interesting how suddenly the NFL is credible and trustworthy again. It took them this long to respond to Reid? They can prove he lied about this, but they couldn't get the footage of Kareem Hunt themselves? Sure.

If this is true we should low ball the fug out of him, no other team wants to sign this guy, he can be had for 1 year 2.5 million.

lol fug the NFL, you can lie to them all you want, I could care less. This whole situation just probably costed Eric MILLIONS of dollars.

Say we give the NFL the benefit of the doubt and the highly unlikely scenario of the computer selecting Reid 7 out of 11 weeks is what actually happened.  Does the NFL just have no leeway to have a human with a brain step in and scratch his name after multiple selections.  Its like they wanted this controversy.

The NFLPA, whose job is to protect the players, determined there was nothing here. Case closed. Time to move on.

This is similar to when a police department investigates one of it's officers killing an unarmed POC.  It's their job to protect the people, but they usually just protect their own.

lol @ anyone with a functioning brain touting the NFLPA. We saw what kind of actual clout the players association had during the last lockout. Empty suits.
