Reid says he is not planning to protest during the national anthem this upcoming season.

Reid has been among the NFL's most visible protesters since former San Francisco 49ers teammate Colin Kaepernick decided not to stand for the national anthem in 2016.

While Kaepernick was unable to find a job last season, Reid continued the protest of racial injustice and police brutality against minorities by kneeling during the anthem. But Reid said he would take a different approach in 2018.

More than a week into free agency, Reid has not received any contract offers despite a record of strong play on the field and versatility that many teams usually covet

I don't think it will be in the form of protesting during the anthem. I say 'during' because it's crazy that the narrative changed to we were 'protesting the anthem,' and that wasn't the case.


Eric, people have been telling you this from the very beginning. It's funny that you chose to consistently ignore them when you were employed, but all of a sudden hear what they're saying when you're unemployed.

How stupid is this guy? Complains that people say he is protesting the national anthem when he refuses to stand for the national anthem. These guys need to just go away

Why is it so difficult for you people to comprehend that protesting the National Anthem and protesting DURING the National Anthem are two completely different and unrelated things?

Im really more interested in what type of money and contract length hed like. He has been inconsistent over the last few years with injuries and level of play but still has the potential to be a solid player. You throw in his "protest" and you have a guy that isnt as attractive otherwise especially depending on monetary demands.

Good. I hope all these kneeling cocksuckers lose big money over this stunt. It made football season unbearable with all the useless threads it started. Sports should stick with sports, just like hollywood should stick to acting.

Want to make a statement, do it outside of your entertainment role.

SELLOUT SELLOUT

You're either ALL IN on the cause or you're not, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Last I checked Michael Bennett, Chris Long, Malcolm Jenkins, Richard Sherman and Marcus Peters among others did what they did and are currently still on NFL teams earning contract compensation so obviously ER's current situation is more than simply the kneeling, there's more layers to it and the sooner he comprehends that the more enlightened his perspective will be and the less likely he'll capitulate and beg further like he just did and strive to be a martyr.
