I'd love to see us get Eric Reid. I renember a play vs Bama when Trent Richardson(one of the hardest hitting backs that year and built like a He-Man action figure)had a full head of steam flying upfield lowered his shoulder into Reid who blasted him so hard the ball flew out his hands but unfortunately out of bounds. Drafting Vaccarro over Reid was another example of Peyton loving the Texas, Oklahoma, Midwest players. Vaccarro-6 ft 215-4.6 40. Reid 6ft 2 215 4.4 40. Plus Vaccarro played for an atrocious defense. Of course Eric Reid played for an LSU defense. Enough said. Eric Reid is a great player. He has said he'll never protest on NFL time again. Sign him.

Would rather have an injured Kenny V back - besides, already like what we have now...

And he's already had a four game suspension ... definite red flag for a ton of teams & also risky.

Saints D will be just fine without Kenny V on the roster.

Actions have consequences.

I'd much rather play "Heads I win, Tails you lose" when it comes to coin flips!!

I’d take Eric Reid over Kurt Coleman and Kenny Vacarro everyday of the week, but the blackballing of Reid has already begun. I’d be surprised to see him get picked up even though it’s glaringly obvious he’s better than most of the starting safeties in the NFL. But hey, the league isn’t controlled by the demographic majority playing the game so it is what it is.

Who knows maybe KV will come back at a reduced rate and won't have to be an essential cog in the Payton machine.

Eric Reid is flat out legit. He'd probably be the best safety in Saints history. No offense to Sammy Night or the in prison rapist. Well I guess yes offense to the rapist guy. Dont care to say his name but he was uhhhh dam good. I've heard multiple ex-LSU players say Eric Reid was the best safety ever at LSU. That's saying something considering LSU is DBU. GO TIGERS! LaRon Landry and Chad Jones both hit like freight trains of course but in my opinion Eric Reid is one of the best all around football players LSU ever had. Anyone on this forum knows Im a huge LSU homer but like I always say. That doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Putting Reid's protesting aside, because I honestly no longer give any sort of a crap about it, hes never lived up to his draft status either. To say he'd be the best saints safety ever is ridiculous. To say he's one of the best safeties in the league now is stretching it. He's pretty much been average, and I say that as an LSU fan myself. I thought he would be a star, but it hasn't happened. I wish him luck in finding a job, it'll happen sooner or later. Safeties just aren't in demand right now.
