Panthers releasing Eric Reid

[Black&BlueBubba]

Holy crap.  We have lost our top 2 tacklers from last year.  
 

Now the Burris signing makes sense. 
 

Guess they couldn’t trade him either.

We were so close but alas we need at least one bad and overpaid safety of the roster that can cost us more dead money next offseason.

Never underestimate Hurney's ability to fug something up.

[TheRed]

Best of luck to him, hope he lands somewhere with a better fanbase than this.

[Jai.]

I appreciate his time here, hopefully he lands in a city where his teams fans dont boo him!

[MountaineerChemist10]

Oh well. Doesn't surprise me.

You da man, Reid.

[JARROD]

[electro's horse]

he was a better player than a lot of the poo lords on this hell space gave him credit for

played very hurt last year as well. was almost passing out from pain every time he made a tackle

 

[Mr. Scot]

Reid was kind of a double edged sword. He certainly made his fair share of plays but he was also a huge liability in coverage and whiffed horribly on a lot of tackles.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm not surprised. He's an old school throwback 1980s safety trying to play in the modern NFL. There's just not much of a use for a head knocking safety who is a liability in coverage in today's game. That's just the unfortunate truth. Looks like we'll probably be rolling with Boston and the new signing at the safety spots.

I appreciate what he gave us though. The guy gave it his all when he was out there on the field.

[electro's horse]

like there weren't many people playing hard last year and he was one of them.

[GOOGLE JIM BOB COOTER]

another in a long list of players this franchise and fanbase didn't deserve. glad he doesn't have to go down with this sinking ship.

[TheSpecialJuan]

It's fine, he was a massive liability in coverage

I suspect that this upcoming season will be a dead cap purging season.

Agreed which is another reason I thought a tank might be in the works but the Bridgewater signing makes me have no clue what to think. 

[AceMan]

And of course we gave him an unnecessary extension before cutting him a year later...

Oh well
