Carolina Panthers sign Eric Reid to a one year deal

[ncfan]

We about to fug some people up!!!!!

Amazing all the improved player and coaches decisions that have been made since Jerry left the building, even before Tepper stepped in. I'm sure because of the  "political correct" aspect of this signing, Tepper was asked beforehand. High fives and a tip of my hat to Rivera and Hurley.

I’ve not been this excited for a free agent in years. 

Totally agreed. I've been smiling for so many reasons for the last hour.

I think this is now the best team in the NFC. Very excited for the rest of the year.

Is there a way I can pie and eggplant this entire thread?

Tepper got in that ass, damn! There is a new Sheriff in own. 

Don't care what anyone says. This is an upgrade over Colin Jones even if Reid is out of football shape and may bring some bad press. I'll take him over Colin Jones

As many of you have noted, I love this signing. I actually checked with a friend to see if he indeed put my bet on the Panthers to win the SB.

I wonder what this does to the collusion case. It's got to weaken the argument of the NFLPA a little bit, no? I don't really care, but just thought about that with reports that Reid is not dropping from the lawsuit.

In any case, looking forward to seeing him in Week 5.

This reaction and possible impact for this signing kinda reminds me of the Jared Allen one back in 2015.

WELP

Didn't think this team would ever have it in them...Tepper out to prove his point and good on him. Didn't think we'd do it/happy to be wrong and more than welcome the change over from old diaper man to full on trying to win.

When you're that bad at your job that your team goes out and signs the league's blacklisted player. Yeah.... he might need a career change.

I actually guffawed at this

Apples and oranges really. Jared Allen was already on the downslope of his career whilst Eric Reid is in the prime of his. Not a fair comparison.

The collusion case started before Tepper was an owner so I don't see why he would drop it now.

Ah. Fair point.
