If he’s planning on using the NFL to further his protesting agenda, he can go elsewhere.
After the one year we can sign him long term or collect a comp pick for letting him sign elsewhere.

I’d be ok with this, but in no way can you guarantee he won’t be a distraction of sorts. I’m all for him supporting social justice and promoting/advocating for humanitarian causes. What bugs me about Reid is that he is in denial that his actions and protests have offended some. Reading through some of his social media feeds, he seems to be drawing lines in the sand regarding his convictions along with how he values himself contractually, and is venting regarding the fact he has not secured a multi-year deal to his liking. Dude needs to recognize he is polarizing, and by continuing to gripe about a situation he created by himself through his actions that there may be concerns and consequences associated with teams employing his services.
On the field he’d be an upgrade, but I just don’t see KC as a fit for Reid given the passion he has with his social/political convictions. KC is not big enough for him, and he would be scrutinized immensely.
