My two cents is football is a job, not a political forum nor a circus arena to show your azz and ask for more money like certain Steelers and bleached blondes are doing here lately. As with any other job, there are and/or should be rules and standards, and if you don't like them find another job. Joe Lawyer who's on the bottom of the list can't wear his cowboy boots to court because he thinks they're cool, or he will be unemployed. The line worker at a ham plant can't wear his football cap or hat protesting something when he's supposed to be wearing a hard hat. Nascar "workers" get it, and nobody has to tell them. Protesting is fine, but in the right venue on your own time. These are kids, lest we forget; just out of college, and if they're lucky they may have this job for ten years or so, respect it while you have it, at their age they don't know what they believe, geez, I championed Jimmy Carter at that age, but not at work. While at work, I worked, and worked hard, it's kinda what companies expect. Half our jobs are in China because people over here forgot how to work hard. If anyone should respect the job, it should be NFL players, with a 465k minimum salary for unproven rookies. All that said, I agree with someone else who said we shouldn't worry about Reid until when/if he becomes a problem. Right now, we could use a good safety, and he just might be the guy, so welcome should you choose the Bengals, it would be one more free agent surprise to add to the growing list like we've never seen before.
