Colin Kaepernick says he's THRILLED his pal, Eric Reid, is back in the NFL -- but claims the safety shoulda been signed WAY earlier.
"Congratulations to my brother [Eric Reid] an all pro safety who should have been signed the first day of free agency, who has signed a football contract," Kaep posted.
"He has was the FIRST person to kneel alongside me. Eric is a social justice warrior, continues to support his wife, two beautiful daughters and communities in need."
Kaep and Reid were teammates on the 49ers and have been good friends for a WHILE.
