Eric Reid, brother optimistic as they await NFL fate

STANFORD — Eric Reid won’t be kneeling during the national anthem next season, and although multiple teams are apparently interested in the former 49ers safety, it remains to be seen when or who will sign him.

“We’ll see what happens,” Reid said Thursday. “I know my agent is in communication with a couple teams. No numbers have been talked about. No visits have been talked about. But we’ll see what happens.”

Reid spoke at Stanford’s pro day where he came to support his brother, Justin, a potential first-round draft pick as a versatile safety.

Niners general manager John Lynch, also in attendance at his alma mater’s pro day, was optimistic that Reid’s week-plus stint into free agency will end sooner than later, suggesting Reid won’t be ostracized from the NFL the way former 49er Colin Kaepernick has been the past year.
