Could we set aside his political BS to sign the SS we should have drafted 4 years ago?

I think he would help our D our tremendously. But will command ~8million a year.

Ehhh don't want that shite in the locker room with this team.

We're a good team that doesn't need stupid distractions like that.

Could easily divide a locker room.

Could also unite them...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say more players than not support their cause.

Philly just won the damn thing with a bunch of SJW leading the defense

Not only that, he's not that good a player anymore. Sorry, but this is a definite pass from me.

He isn't very good. If we're going to dish out that cash might as well just resign Kenny, who is a good leader in the locker room.

Big free agency dollars should be spent on a wide receiver, tight end, defensive end, or linebacker.

Qb, OL, RB, DT, CB, and S are all good with what we have outside of some smaller contracts.

Even tight end and defensive end are fine if we keep Fleener (not a fan of his contract) and resign Okafor.

Linebacker is who I hope we target with pick 1 and that just leaves wide receiver. Really need a #2. Ginn, Coleman, and Snead (assuming we resign him cheap) are fine as the 3 to 5 receivers. Just need that # 2. Landry would be great.

Setting aside all the BS. I’ll pass. Vaccaro wasn’t that bad just made mistakes. And Reid isn’t the same player he was at LSU and early in his career. If we can get him for cheap then sure but I’d rather keep Vaccaro,TJ ward, Marcus Gilchrist,Morgan Burnett, or draft a new one. Reid would be a back up plan to all of those options

Reid played like a FS, which we have with Williams.

Hell KV didn't really play a safety role at all outside the first two games. He was basically our nickel/OLB(box safety).

So if we are moving on from KV and looking for a replacement we should be looking at OLBs with cover skills or a nickel corner who can tackle very well.

The eagles just won the super bowl with a lot of “that shite” in the locker room. Some distraction.

Anyway, Reid played LB for much of the season and probably won’t play that much more anyway. I’ll pass.

Oh, we're just going to forget that they rallied around a backup QB that talking heads gave them no shot at winning the SB.

The SJW shite got put to side by the time the playoffs hit.

We only remember Reid for literally just the SJW bullshite.

I'd rather get pissed off Malcolm Butler on a decent contract who can actually play Nickel.

Yep. Maybe even a Free Safety that can tackle. Hopefully we can find a bargain contract or 2.

Huh? I’m pretty sure those players had the same thoughts and feeling in the playoffs as the regular season.

I don’t want Reid for football reasons, saying his thoughts would be a distraction is just false

His brother's at Stanford. I'm guessing he stays there.
