In light of losing veteran Morgan Burnett to the Pittsburgh Steelers, several former players want the Green Bay Packers to sign free agent defensive back Eric Reid.

Jermichael Finley, LeRoy Butler and Gary Ellerson all urged the Packers to add Reid, a former Pro Bowler who – like Burnett – played several different positions for the San Francisco 49ers.

The downside to signing him, is that the Packers would have two talented SS/LB and the vet miget hold up Jones playing time... plus the whole stupid kneeling issue discussion.

But the upside is that they got two versional, physical DBs that can play coverage LB, SS or maybe some slot CB, especially if you're willing to blitz them off the edge. Also, while neither is a FS, signing Reid might make resigning Haha, a less of a need next year... though they will need a FS to replace.

Back to the negative, maybe Haha is a future SS too, and they're going to get a FS. So basically signing Reid might mean more about what to do with Haha, next year, but he might hold Jones back some this year, but help the team.

I’m all for bringing in anyone who can help bring our defense up to an NFL defense.
As long as the cost doesn’t destroy us.

As you said Jones and Dix are both better playing near the line of scrimmage than they are in space. Same with Eric Reid. Same with Fitzpatrick and James (draft). The Packers need a free safety if Dix can't learn the position not another SS imo, especially not one on his last legs.

Wanted to read the first article but its on a garbage website that plays a video that does not allow you to close it or do a damn thing to actually read it. Bullshit. Anyways I think it is a no brainer move. May not fit perfectly what we need, but certainly would be nice to have either way. Sign him to a 4 year deal, draft haha's replacement and let him go next year. That guy is a fucking tool.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I'm not surprised that Burnett took the best deal he could get as this could be his last chance to cash in. Joe Thomas leaving has not surprised me either.

Former players, fans, and sports reporters all can express their opinions. However it's the GM that makes the decisions about players. BG is aware of his roster needs, available FAs, and who is tall on his draft board. Let us just be glad Ted Thompson is no longer in charge.
