A Pro Bowler in his rookie season, Reid has been a big part of the team's defense through the Harbaugh, Tomsula, Kelly and Shanahan eras. But in 2017 he was used all over the field when injuries ravaged the defense, playing both safety positions and even linebacker in passing situations.This offseason, he's had only one visit with a prospective new team, the Bengals, likely because NFL teams are shying away from him because he's knelt during pregame national anthems to protest what he believes is the unfair treatment of African-American citizens by police.In fact, during his visit with the Bengals Monday, it was reported that Bengals owner Mike Brown specifically asked if Reid plans to protest during the national anthem, with Brown saying "he intends to prohibit" such protests.Mike Florio of NBC's Pro Football Talk reported Reid took a physical in Cincinnati, met with coaches and did...

According to NBC Sports Bay Area, speaking at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, Reid stated, "Yeah, I

Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek
