Devin McCourty Says Eric Reid's Activism Is Playing a Role in His Free Agency

As Colin Kaepernick's legal battle with the NFL continues to heat up, his former teammate and fellow protestor, Eric Reid now faces the same free-agent market that pushed the former quarterback aside last offseason.

Reid, who is 26 and coming off his fifth year in the league with the 49ers, has already said he believes he has not been signed yet because he protested police brutality and racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem.

While some have argued that Reid remains unsigned because of how safeties are being valued this free agency, there has been recent activity on the market, which has left Reid as arguably the best safety remaining to be picked up.
