Free-agent Eric Reid: Declined Washington practice squad offer

Jeez I gotta agree with Reid, he’s not a practice squad player. Woulda liked to see him on the squad.

Don't think it's about the PS as much as him holding out for a team coming knocking where he can play now. Or he's simply happy enough doing what he's doing to not want to take the offer.

Current mood? I'm saying both; if we can shift players with value like RK, but down the rotation, and get some picks or a player who is going to be here for 2-3 years and contribute, go for it. I'm not sure I see many targets for bringing in on a trade, though if Njoku is available he could be worth it. Maybe even a good WR, but I can't see anyone likely to be available worth spending anything but a low round pick.

In any case, what's the harm in bringing in someone to boost the current roster and will be around at least until the end of next season? Rebuilding or not, if someone can help us with a chance to win the division given how shitty it is, I say why not, but definitely not a half season rental.

I like Jeremy Reaves, he’s an aggressive type player. Glad they promoted him.

I think if Reid came here, he might take the job for good. A way to push Collins off the team.

He could but realistically the only way he starts for a team this year is if their starting safety gets injured and the backup is deemed not good enough to handle duties for the rest of the year. That's not our case with Curl, he's earned the right to prove himself.

I agree with Defensewins, it sounds like Reid either wants a starting job or he's gonna stay home and practice social distancing. No hard feelings on our end either way.

I feel like Coach Rivera is doing the right thing and giving the guys on the roster and on the practice squad the first shot to earn it. This shows strong loyalty to the team and sends the right message. Not bringing in an outsider right away.
If one of the existing safety's is not good enough then they cut that guy and bring in Eric Reid. Reid will most likely be there if we need him in a few weeks.
I think Reid wants to be here and we would be ok with him here.
