Former San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid has filed a grievance against the NFL citing collusion in the free agency process. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Dan Graziano, and the NFL Players Association has since issued a statement on the grievance.
“Our union is aware that Eric Reid and his legal representatives filed a collusion claim, which will be heard through the arbitration process as spelled out in our collective bargaining agreement. Our union supports Eric and we are considering other legal options to pursue.”
Reid hired attorney Mark Geragos, according to Graziano.
