Chiefs Chiefs sign S Justin Reid - Page 9

Dante84 · 12:56 PM

The #Chiefs are signing former #Texans safety Justin Reid to a 3-year, $31.5M deal. $20M is guaranteed, per @AdamSchefter.

That should signal the end of Tyrann Mathieu.

Not quite. Clark's cap hit was $26.3M and now it's $15.2M. That's $11.1 M savings. That pays for Reid with a little left over before we do anything else.

Need another solid addition. Not only for the third spot but Thornhill is a FA next year and I’m so sure you throw too much at him to stay.

**BossChief** · 03-14-2022, 10:53 PM

In his best years, he is credited as being a FS in 2018/2019 on pro football reference.

When he was moved to SS, his grades fell. I know pFF isn’t the end all, be all…but his numbers as a FS and SS are vastly different.

2018

75 overall
75 coverage
63 pass rush
72 run defense

2019

76 overall
79 pass defense
66 pass rush
65 run defense

2020

60 overall
67 pass coverage
67 pass rush
48 run defense

2021

51 overall
58 pass rush
45 coverage <——Dan Sorensen territory
65 run defense

I’d have to wonder if this is Thornhills replacement and they will add another guy with a significant investment or wait it out and see what bargain vet is left without a dance partner in a few days or a week.

Here’s a little write up about him, this article ranked the top 200 free agents, Reid was #82:

82. S JUSTIN REID, HOUSTON TEXANS

Reid’s first two seasons in Houston were extremely promising, with his 80.4 overall grade across 2018 and 2019 ranking 17th among safeties with at least 300 snaps over the two seasons. Reid’s 87.0 coverage grade ranked 13th, and his 14.1% forced incompletion rate ranked 19th among safeties with at least 25 targets into their coverage in that span. Since then, things have trended in the wrong direction, ultimately culminating with Reid being a healthy scratch in Week 12 for disciplinary reasons. It seems very likely that the Houston Texans were more to blame than Reid for his decline in play, so perhaps he can get his career back on track in a more stable environment.

Strengths:
– Capable playmaker at the catch point

Weaknesses:
– Eye discipline
– Tackling

Scheme Fit/Role:
SPOT STARTER/DEPTH PIECE AT SAFETY: Reid's film doesn't suggest that he deserves better than the role he's presently in. The soft zone looks probably don't do much to help, but Reid is often unable to range to the ball and doesn't boast the tracking skills to take good angles and make sound tackles.

Recent Injury History:
Reid was listed on the injury report in 2021 for a knee ailment but hasn't missed practice or game time due to injury.

Contract Projection: Three years, $21 million ($7M per year, $13.5 million total guaranteed)

Bottom Line:
Reid is stuck in a bad situation schematically and lacks talent around him, but he's done little to raise his team's stock or his own in Houston. He's been productive in years prior, leaving open the possibility that he needs a change of scenery to return to form.

Kinda weird tweet from Mahomes personal trainer, who is currently in Hawaii.... with Mathieu.... at Mahomes' wedding. Likely nothing at all, but sharing juuuust in case.

Maybe they aren’t done

Update: He said he doesn’t know anything.

Justin Reid is 16 months younger than Juan Thornhill.

Houston played Reid out of the box mostly because the badly needed his range on the back end.

With Thornhill alongside him he’ll be free to play where needed. And he’s a very willing and effective hitter.

Its about 15% higher than I thought he’d get but the market is hotter than I figured it would be as well.

This is a REALLY nice player with potential that was being squandered in Houston. We just upgraded the position at a very reasonable price point. And the floor is what he did last season which was still solid.

This is a very good low risk signing with a hell of a lot of room for surplus value in the contract. Excellent work by Veach here.

It’s an excellent signing.

So if Mathieu's agent says we want top 5 safety money -

Jamal Adams $17,500,000 average
Harrison Smith $16,000,000 average
Justin Simmons $15,250,000 average
Budda Baker $14,750,000 average
Eddie Jackson $14,600,000 average

Chiefs really did not have a contract to offer him that would be satisfactory.

And three of those 5 deals are deals the team would probably like to have back. Another one is something of a legacy contract. About the only contract on that list that presents a true asset is Simmons.

And if Mathieu ends up on that list he’ll end up in ‘regret’ territory as well.

But there’s a non-zero chance that he’s overplayed his hand here and ends up closer to $12-13 million a year when the big money stops flying at the beginning.
