Football Justin Reid signs with Saints (3 yrs/$31.5M)

Anyone surprised that we prioritized Fulton over Reid? Fulton will be a #2 or #3 CB, whereas Reid was the leader of the secondary. Similar contracts. Reid is older by two years but that's not a big difference.

Hicks is poised to start but he could have started opposite Reid with Cook and Connor for depth.

Maybe they think signing or drafting another safety would be much easier than a CB. I can see that perspective. Still, I figured Reid would get more money from somewhere. And Fulton being signed came a little out of left field.
