Eric and Justin Reid

I have been seeing a lot of reports that the market for SS Eric Reid is pretty quiet and it is most likely due to his involvement with Kaepernick and protests. This has me wondering if his brother Justin will suffer because of it and fall somewhat in the draft. I would love to grab Justin in the second but don't think he will make it to our pick. If we are able to grab him with the 55th pick, how would you feel about pairing him with his older brother? The Idea of having brothers on either side of the ball is pretty cool. 

I know JR would probably never allow a player like Eric Reid to be signed. (I think he was a main reason we released Tre Boston) With a new owner on the way these types of things will hopefully change. 

We desperately need safety help. Mike Adams is about to turn 37. Who else is even on the roster? I'd love to see the Reid brothers manning our backfield in 2018.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
