Sorensen says we should sign Reid, and he's right.

[PantherOnTheProwl1523]

Reid would be a liability and isn't worth the risk since concussions and knee injuries are involved. The knee issue is a legit action but on the team you play for it causes a distraction and problems and can be done off field and not game time.

[TheRumGone]

I don’t think he was ever the same after this...

We don't know why Reid hasn't gotten a contract, but I think it's better to assume it's because his opinion of where his contract should be (online sources have him over $8M - that's nuts) vs where the teams are thinking it should be based on his injury history/performance makes a ton more sense than trying to spin that it's just because of his kneeling. I don't doubt that plays some part of it, but it's crazy to create a narrative that it's based JUST on that. It's not - he's a liability especially at that high of a price. Plus, haven't only two safeties signed so far? The S market is just starting to move. This just feels like a story to play to people's emotions to me. 

Well, if it's true that that's the case then more than a few think it.

This is America, so free speech kinda plays a part in everything that we do.  I mean, what are you trying to intimate, that a person has a right to discriminate and blackball based on race? You may be technically right, but ethically you're wrong. If you support institutional racism by what you do or what you don't do, then admit it.

this sounds like the desperate whimper of a conspiracy theorist trying not to word things in a way that is sensational so as to not undermine his argument

Go ahead and say what you think is happening. The white people are "out to get" Eric Reid. 

Sorenson prattled off a pretentious and ignorant article where he stepped in to speak on behalf of everyone from police members to servicemembers and decree any opposition to his fluff piece as "fake news" preemptively, so he could look like some peak mediator that is above the political mudslinging whilst he towed the same party talking points that have been churned out for the past two years to a tee. And you lapped it up.

The only thing that matters to me is how they’ll perform on the field. Reid won’t ever see it so hard no.

So was this thread started to talk about potentially signing a safety or for you to try and bully everyone that disagrees with your opinion? 

Only person being bullied and called names is TD

[TheSpecialJuan]

Absolutely not!!!    Didn't you hear what he did?  He sucked another man's cock. And he also kneeled during the national anthem, but that's no big deal, a bunch of other players also did that.

I said what I needed to say, and I wasn't shy about it.

Spare me your political bullshit. Sign the guy because we need a safety. He shouldn’t have kneeled, but he doesn’t deserve to be blackballed

His health is a major concern.

I'd rather have his brother.

Luke has had multiple concussions and surgeries. Cam has had at least one concussion (and maybe more) and multiple surgeries. TD is the poster child for overcoming the ACL. And you're telling me that Reid isn't worth his weight in gold? Come on!
