Eric Reid Reportedly Will Have Free-Agency Meeting with Bengals

Free-agent safety Eric Reid will reportedly visit the Cincinnati Bengals, his first meeting with a team since hitting the open market.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the news but did not give a specific date for the visit.

Reid, 26, spent his first five NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He remains on the market despite being a reliable starter for much of his time in San Francisco, and some point to his protests during the national anthem as the overarching cause.

Colin Kaepernick and Reid spearheaded the movement that's become the NFL's biggest controversy of the last two seasons.
