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

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

That’s my feelings on the matter too.

I'm going to wait and see if he's signed and at what price before I jump to these conclusions just because media is pushing this narrative on us. 

 

It’s my opinion that he is being blackballed. I don’t have any inside info, know any NFL owners, or know Eric Reid.

Oh I know...I'm not trying to tell you not to think that way. I just think it's early to come to that conclusion based on the other factors (injuries/reported salary expectation) that are also part of the equation of his potential signing.

I agree with Sorenson, and believe Reid would fill a need for us. I want him, but I know that as long as JR has his hands on the team, that won’t be happening. In fact, any new owner, except maybe Rubin, would avoid him as well. One of the many reasons I want Rubin.

Didn’t Torrey kneel as well?

I really want the Reid brothers as our safeties...

His play, even during last season, does not square up with what you posted.

I'm not sure if he did but he called Kap a "legend" for doing it and has talked about how he's always been the most vocal in locker rooms on political issues. So at the very least he's been very outspoken about the protests. So yeah you're right, another flaw in the story..

I believe so. He stopped, and I believe he was in with Malcolm as the group who said they’d stop kneeling if the owners agreed to pay towards their causes. 

Reid has given no indication that he’s going to stop kneeling.

Reid is like Kaepernick to me. Had some good years but are only relevant anymore because of the knee issue. When the 49ers don't think you can play anymore that tells me plenty. There are other guys I like better including Vaccarro and Boston. I might even take a chance on Branch even though he might not be ready until training camp or even later. He would be cheap and before he got hurt was very good.

You keep harping on salary when a bunch of guys have arguably been overpaid for their services. I mean, what would you say that his services are worth since you obviously don't like the 8 million per year figure?  I mean is he worth 7 mil a year? 6 mil? 5 mil? 4 mil? What's the magic number? 

I mean, how is at least reaching out to him gonna hurt? I mean, he can't get injured by a phone call.  Is a one or two year deal going to cause us to slip into cap hell? What's the magic length? 

Or is he simply and mysteriously untouchable because of injuries that other rostered players have had?

No. I'm watching straight and clear with all four of them. Do your research!

Either you believe in racism or you don't. Either you believe in free speech or you don't. Pretty simple for me.

The issue isn't near as black and white as you make it out to be. I personally believe in the Bill of Right's. I'm sure some here don't.
