Buyers, Sellers, Both, or Neither?

Thoughts on Erik Reid to replace Collins?

I dont think we need Reid or anyone.

I think Deshazor Everett is good depth but I liked the way he was flying around against Dallas. im 100% fine with Everett, Curl and Apke.

Have we moved Jeremey Reaves up from the practice squad yet?

[Coff]

Apke makes me nervous. He seems overwhelmed.

[BaltimoreSkins]

I think we sell if we can. I would like to see RK get to 100 sacks with the team but he also deserves a chance to make a playoff run.

[punch it in]

If someone is offering something good for guys near the end of their road than absolutely sell. We aren’t competing this year. It is all about the future.
That said it is impossible to buy for the future too.
So basically whatever helps us going forward.

Doesn't mean they are "out" on E Reid though.

I guess they did offer him a spot on the practice squad though, and he declined.

Sheeeeit, we better not be buying unless there's a high-upside low cost vet available on the cheap. I'm talking Randy Moss for a 4th cheap.

Selling? Depends on the price, but Kerrigan and Anderson are two of our more attractive prospects.

[Defensewins]

It is not so black and white. Buy or sell. It depends on the offer.
It takes time to improve a roster and fill all the weaknesses. If we can get a TE or fill another need for cheap, we should do it. We are not going to get everything we need in the next draft. Especially with our recent draft history. We do not have Bobby Beathard and Charlie Casserly to recreate another 1982 or 1983 draft again.
Get talent any way we can.

Free-agent Eric Reid: Declined Washington practice squad offer

Jeez I gotta agree with Reid, he’s not a practice squad player. Woulda liked to see him on the squad.

Don't think it's about the PS as much as him holding out for a team coming knocking where he can play now. Or he's simply happy enough doing what he's doing to not want to take the offer.

Current mood? I'm saying both; if we can shift players with value like RK, but down the rotation, and get some picks or a player who is going to be here for 2-3 years and contribute, go for it. I'm not sure I see many targets for bringing in on a trade, though if Njoku is available he could be worth it. Maybe even a good WR, but I can't see anyone likely to be available worth spending anything but a low round pick.

In any case, what's the harm in bringing in someone to boost the current roster and will be around at least until the end of next season? Rebuilding or not, if someone can help us with a chance to win the division given how shitty it is, I say why not, but definitely not a half season rental.

I like Jeremy Reaves, he’s an aggressive type player. Glad they promoted him.

I think if Reid came here, he might take the job for good. A way to push Collins off the team.

He could but realistically the only way he starts for a team this year is if their starting safety gets injured and the backup is deemed not good enough to handle duties for the rest of the year. That's not our case with Curl, he's earned the right to prove himself.

I agree with Defensewins, it sounds like Reid either wants a starting job or he's gonna stay home and practice social distancing. No hard feelings on our end either way.

If we sign Eric Reid, I will kneel in protest for his 1st play, then cheer for him to hit those sons of bitches on the other team.

I'd rather just go young though. Reid is not gonna be a key piece when this team is ready to compete. Rather get a young FA and see if we find a diamond in the rough.

Reid is 28.

And we are 2 years away at least from legitimately competing. So I don't think we need to sign him. If we do, he's on our team, and I'll support him. But there's also a reason no one else has signed him.
