Hilarious to think that while Kenny Vacarro - a better safety drafted ahead of him in his draft class - is out of work and Tre Boston (also a better safety) just had to do a 1 yr deal around the vet minimum.
Once Vacarro is off the market and there's still safety-starved teams, THEN there is more of an argument but saying blackballed while better safeties are still FA is just boy who cried wolf.

Just like all the other veteran safeties who are mediocre in coverage.
#SafetiesJobsMatter
If I were Reid, I would lose 10-12 pounds and work on my coverage skills.
basically become his brother, Justin Reid

Haha we already went though this with Kaepernick in 2017.
Various situations were popping up... be injuries or bad play from QBs. Didn't matter.
They might flexible with Reid, since he wasn't the one who started it. AND it will look good for the league.

Annnnnnd nope.
Sources: The #Titans are filling their safety void by signing former #Saints FA Kenny Vaccaro. A big addition in August following S Johnathan Cyprien being placed on Injured Reserve. Vaccaro was impressive in the workout, helping him be the choice over several others.

#Titans planned to bring in S Eric Reid, but multiple flight cancellations kept him from coming in. When interest picked up from others in Kenny Vaccaro, Tennessee felt they needed to move to keep from losing him. They had good talks with Reid & he remains an option down the road

Seems like alot of unnecessary excuses..
Just say they really liked Kenny's workout. Other teams showed interest. They didn't want to take any chances, they have Kenny right there so quickly signed him.
This stuff about "bu bububut flight cancelations" makes it seem like they feel guilty about something.

Would they lie about something that can easily be disproven? Its not like he showed up at the facility, called the GM and got greeted with "new number, who dis?"
Either he showed up for his scheduled workout or he didn't. If he didn't show up then it would be hard to justify signing him sight unseen.
