Looks like Rivera tried to kick the tires on Eric Reid and offered him the opportunity to join the practice squad.

Reid decided that the PS is beneath him.

What a clown.

Which person? Reid or Rivera? Or both?

Reid obviously. Rivera extended an olive branch and Reid chose to be an idiot. You can't drum up Instagram likes from the practice squad which is all this clown cares about.

i think i'm starting to get a bead on you.  maybe try an alt right panthers forum instead of this one

I was never a Reid fan, but the guy has started nearly 100 games and earned over $25M over the course of his career. Honestly, I don't blame him for declining a practice squad offer. 

Snacks Harrison has accomplished and earned more and took a PS spot. PS spot is better than no spot, if Reid truly wants to play football (he doesn't).

The practice squad is a little different this year. Go look at some of the names on it. It's just an extension of the roster (with drastically reduced pay).

I'm not arguing for or against Reid and/or his motivations here. All I'm saying is that I can understand why he'd pass. Some people are going to arrive at one conclusion or the other based on who he is and it's a conclusion they arrived at long ago, this situation just gives them a reason to hope back on their soap box about it... again.

He just offered Reid a job for $12,000 a week and a shot (a good one) at making it back onto the regular roster. Practice squad also puts you in play for other teams (under certain conditions) while you get to maintain football conditioning and accrue some more pro time.

I don't think anyone on this board would turn down $12k a week, but then again, I don't know what his finances are like (and to have earned $25 million that early in life), so who am I to say? Everything is relative, right? 

I just don't see where anyone in the far-too-short-career NFL can turn down that kind of offer, especially when he admits it's the only one he has received.

Several accomplished veterans have been signed to practice squads this year.

My opinion: Honestly, if 32 teams aren't even interested in just having you on their roster, holding out for a starting job seems a little delusional.
