Regardless of rights I would say that safety isn't our greatest area of need. If Reid is asking for more compensation than he's worth I would pass. But if he is looking for a fair deal he should be evaluated. Other kneelers are still in the league. While he was very visible... he is not Kaepernick.
Kaepernick has other issues beyond kneeling, even if kneeling and suing the NFL are the big ones:
1) I think he has been asking for starter level money.
2) If rumors are correct he (or his GF) insulted rhe Ravens owner and Ray Lewis while he was being considered. That kind of action has repercussions with other teams.
