General manager John Lynch said strong safety Eric Reid’s decision to sign with the Panthers on Thursday instead of rejoining the 49ers was primarily about opportunity.
In Carolina, Reid is expected to replace Da'Norris Searcy, who was placed on injured reserve last week about sustaining two concussions in a month. This week, the 49ers extended Reid a one-year offer with strong safety Jaquiski Tartt dealing with a shoulder injury that isn’t expected to be long-term.
