They areunwavering in their conviction! #ImWithReid”Reid made his return to the NFL four months after filing a grievance against the NFL alleging teams colluded against signing him during free agency after he knelt alongside Kaepernick, his former teammate in San Francisco.Reid said last week he was “still considering other ways” of protesting and raising awareness Terry Godwin Carolina Panthers Jersey , adding that he was “still evaluating the scope of our country and will make that decision later.”However, Reid made it clear he would continue to fight against racial and social injustice along with Kaepernick.
