Great sign for our Defense!!!!

You can't say a signing is "great" when you don't know the financials of the deal...

Ready to see him build off of last year. He's a pretty good chess piece out there, can do a lot of things.

Good signing. The first of hopefully several moves to shore up the secondary

Very curious to see the details but as long as it's in line with the safety market value set in FA last year I like it. Now we need to find a true FS to play over the top to better let everyone else on the D do what they do.

 

Rapaport says it's worth more than 22 million.. So I guess around 7.5 a year

If this is true, then it's a great signing.

Per

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017566/article/panthers-sign-eric-reid-to-3year-deal-worth-more-than-22m

 

"In signing Eric Reid Monday to a three-year deal worth more than $22 million, with incentives that could push the total package to $24 million, the Carolina Panthers made a statement about the veteran safety's value to the organization."

 

"Reid, who signed with Carolina last Sept. 28 after a long, futile stretch as a free agent, received $10 million in guaranteed money from the Panthers upon signing Monday's pact, according to a source familiar with the contract, which the team later officially announced."

3 years, 22 mil, 10 gtd?

I will take that any day.

[4Corners]

HELL YEAH

 

[Panthro]

Good stuff

[The Lobo]

Great move. Now draft a FS and some DL and we will be ready to roll.

I can, and I did because that’s my opinion. It is great for reasons other than money, in addition to the fact that we have finally locked down a young talented safety in his prime who has already produced compared to someone such as Matt Kalil. I am tired of 30 year old + one year FA signings at safety. You can’t rain on my parade.

Honestly, based on last year's safety free agency, we overpaid. Considerably.

Love it. Excited to see him get back to form after a full training camp and an off-season without uncertainty

I hope there are plans to bring in a safety who can cover because Reid was good playing in the box, stopping the run, etc but he looked slow in coverage and seamed out of position and got beat a bunch of some big plays.  We still need a safety who can cover the top and help out way better on the deep throws.
