Colin Kaepernick: Eric Reid Being 'Actively' Blackballed by NFL in Free Agency

Eric Reid is just 28 years old and was a dominant safety for the Carolina Panthers last season but remains without a job in the NFL as the 2020 campaign gets underway.

Former teammate Colin Kaepernick thinks there is a reason for that.

"While the NFL runs propaganda about how they care about Black Life, they are still actively blackballing Eric Reid for fighting for the Black community," Kaepernick tweeted. "Eric set 2 franchise records last year, and is one of the best defensive players in the league."

Kaepernick and Reid were teammates with the San Francisco 49ers from 2013-16.
