If Eric Reid wasn’t at the forefront of kneeling against racist injustice he would have a job right now. He is a young versatile pro bowl safety.
A player that young who can play multiple positions would have been signed up in a minute, but the NFL are filled with racist owners who support Trump, so you know the deal.
Here are the details of his case.
Eric Reid has followed Colin Kaepernick’s lead and has filed a collusion grievance against the NFL … and sources tell us President Trump’s name is involved.
The 26-year-old safety has not been signed since his contract with the 49ers ended at the end of the 2017 season and many believe it’s because he participated in Kaep’s kneeling demonstration during the national anthem.
Reid is a former Pro Bowl safety who racked up 67 tackles and 2 interceptions last season — and many believe he should have easily gotten a roster spot in 2018 based on his talent.
Bleacher Report had Reid ranked as the 10th best safety in the league in 2017.
A source with knowledge of the situation tells us … Reid’s grievance invokes Trump’s name — essentially claiming POTUS has intimidated owners into not signing players who kneel.
We will see how the NFL responds.
