On Thursday morning, Carolina added some much needed help to their roster when they signed the safety. The Pro Bowler’s one-year contract with the Panthers is worth up to $2 million with play-time and Pro Bowl incentives as well as per-game roster bonuses. The Panthers released Kurt Coleman in the offseason who had been with the franchise for three seasons. Coleman was previously signed to a three-year, $17 million contract extension. Even if Reid maximizes his deal, the Panthers will still be paying him less than what Coleman was worth.
In his five years with the San Francisco 49ers, Reid recorded 375 tackles, 10 interceptions, 34 passes defended, and two forced fumbles.
