Reid is gonna want big $$....we shouldn’t pay it but do want him back at reasonable price...if we don’t offer him what he wants, he will add us to his lawsuit

According to Spotrac the NFL veteran minimum for a guy in his 7th year $930,000.  In theory Panthers could sign Reid and PED58 for under $2,000,000 total.

Reid isnt going to sign for the vet minimum, gonna take around 5-7m a season cause he wants a long term deal at market value

I'd expect Reid will want somewhere in the neighborhood of $5M/year as part of a 4-5 year contract. However, the Panthers have some leverage, namely that no other team offered him a contract last year. I would start the negotiations at $3M/year and see where that gets them.

For the love of god Marty, please let him test free agency first.

How can he do this if he was released and had his chance to make plays but did not live up to Panthers expectations when they brought him in to play for us (just a scenario)?  He can't add us because he was the one who failed to do what he was paid to do when he was brought in to fill a needed hole on defense which was make critical and needed plays.

I believe there another team (not sure of team who did) did offer more for him to play for them but he turned that down. He accepted a lower amount and signed with us.

I don't think he'll get anywhere close to what you are describing.  Time will tell.

He will figure he was wronged

If he did not play up to expectations and was released he can't do anything because this was all on him so he can't add it as part of the lawsuit.

I still think that Gaulden can develop into Reid, but with slightly better coverage skills. I don’t think he will be All Pro, but can become a solid SS with a descently high ceiling. Should be a lot cheaper and allow us to use FA money on our lines...

I will never forget Gaudlen flipping off those Bama fans, even though we were getting smashed.  Go Vols.

Guess I’m ok with a resign.  At an economical rate of course

All for it. Hopefully the next DC will know how to use him. 

Lol. Next DC

As long as we move him to SS and draft or pick up a rangy FS

I think we can get Reid for around $2.5 Mil next year if it is part of a longer term deal.

The market is still pretty bad for Safeties. This is a good thing for us, meaning we can probably come out with Reid AND another big name S via FA (Landon Collins.)
