Eric Reid: Seattle Seahawks

Any team that signs Eric Reid will be entering into a complicated situation.

Reid was one of the most active players in the protest movement last year, and he filed a collusion grievance against the NFL in May. However, he’s also a versatile and talented 26-year-old safety who already has a Pro Bowl nod on his NFL resume.

His talent should be far more important to the Seahawks than his activism. Because right now, Seattle needs all the help it can get at safety.

Kam Chancellor recently announced his retirement. nfl wholesale jerseys Earl Thomas is in the midst of a holdout and has been the subject of trade rumors.

That leaves the Seahawks trying to keep their championship window pried open with veteran journeyman Bradley McDougald—and that’s about it.

Between the Seahawks’ need at safety and the progressiveness of the Pacific Northwest, the fit between Reid and Seattle makes almost too much sense. It’s also an opportunity for the Seahawks to pay back the 49ers for snagging Richard Sherman after they released him.

The New Orleans Saints would be a logical landing spot for DeMarco Murray, as Mark Ingram will serve out a four-game suspension to start the year. However, Murray declined to work out for them in mid-June, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, as “he preferred not to work out with a large group” of running backs.

That doesn’t mean Murray won’t land in the division, though.official nfl jerseys cheap

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off a miserable 2017 season. Jameis Winston’s season-opening three-game suspension threatens to carry that misery over to this year, especially in a division where every other team made the playoffs in 2017.

A Tampa team with no margin for error now needs a ground game to rely on in September. And with all due respect to rookie Ronald Jones and holdovers Peyton Barber, Jacquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims, there’s next to no evidence the Buccaneers have one. After all, nfl authentic jerseys they managed only 90.6 yards a game in 2017, which ranked 27th in the NFL.

The Buccaneers can offer Murray a real audition. If he averages 4.5 yards per carry and starts piling up 100-yard games, they won’t be in any rush to push Jones out there. In turn, Murray would provide a measure of experience, stability and depth in the backfield.nfl authentic jerseys cheap
