He was one of the best young safeties in the league until he had a down year last year.

But that was in a new scheme.

My guess is he’ll get back on track in KC and outperform this contract.

This. We basically have two safeties that can move around to either spot. There is no more FS and SS. We just have safeties.

A 25 year old entering his prime Reid at that price is a better value than a 30 year old declining Matthieu who would demand a lot more for the same term.
Smart sensible move by the Bertmeister. And fresh blood for our secondary.

we got some goddamn range at safety now i tell you what

Damn good move. Let’s keep it up!!

I ****ing LOVE this move.

I either wanted Reid or Whitehead.

Added a good secondary player at a decent price.

Brett Veach isn’t going to pay big money for 30 year olds except for a rare exception like EDGE this year (all the free pass rushers are around 30).

These are the types of signings that you make when you want to get value.

I don't know much about this guy, but he is 6'1", 203 lbs, and 25 years old.

Pretty sure we’ve been pounding the table for one of those guys the entire process.

What about the toxic fan favorite money badger

Chiefs signed S Justin Reid, formerly of the Texans, to a three-year, $31.5 million contract.

With Tyrann Mathieu widely expected to walk in free agency, Reid arrives as the Honey Badger's replacement. The No. 68 overall pick of the 2018 draft, Reid has been starting since his rookie year. He was better in 2018-19 before a team-wide malaise took hold of the Texans in 2020-21. Rather amazingly, Reid has only one career pick, but he has had good seasons both in coverage and as a run defender. He just hasn't put it all together in a while. The Chiefs clearly believe he will be able to do so in a much better environment.

HOLY SHIT! YES! Man I wanted the Chiefs to get him! **** YEEEESSS!!!!
