CHARLOTTE Youth J.J. Jansen Jersey , N.C. (AP) — t worth more than $22 million with the Carolina Panthers, a deal the safety believes is additional proof that NFL owners conspired to keep him out of the league last season.Reid said Monday he believes he got “fair market value” after making just $1.69 million last season from the Panthers.“If anything, it proves my point from last year,” Reid said. “I didn’t sign until the (fourth) week and did for almost the league minimum. And this year I signed a more substantial contract. And nothing has changed. I’m still the same player.”Reid still has a collusion case pending against NFL owners, alleging that he wasn’t signed last offseason as a direct result of his decision to kneel for the national anthem alongside former teammate Colin Kaepernick in protest of social and racial injustice.Kaepernick is still out of the league and Reid believes that won’t change anytime soon.“Knowing what I know my hope tank is on E (empty) Stitched J.J. Jansen Jersey ,” Reid said.Reid also addressed the joint statement from the NFL and the NFL Players Association in January that he was not targeted by the league with too many drug tests in 2018.“I believe otherwise,” Reid said.After signing with the Panthers in October, Reid started all 13 games played and had 73 tackles, five pass breakups, one interception and a sack. He was set to become an unrestricted free agent Youth Mario Addison Jersey , but said re-signing with Carolina now brings piece of mind to him and his family.“I enjoy being here and it reminds me of where I grew up” in Louisiana, Reid said. “I’m just excited for my family’s future.”Reid also said it will help entering the season knowing the Panthers defensive playbook. He said it was difficult jumping right into the defense last year in the middle of the season and having to learn all of the calls.However, Reid said re-signing with the Panthers was more about the contract than any sense of loyalty to the team that gave him a second chance in the NFL.“I don’t see a whole lot of loyalty in this business,” Reid said. “They can cut me at any time. The contract is what made my decision.” Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess is set to become a free agent in the offseason and it appears the Panthers are getting a jump on acclimating themselves to life without him.Funchess was in on at least 71 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in each of the team’s first 10 games of the season, but missed Week 12 with a back injury and has returned to see much less playing time in the last two games. He’s played 61 snaps over the last two weeks and has just one catch.DJ Moore Stitched Mario Addison Jersey , Curtis Samuel and Jarius Wright have been seeing more action, but Funchess says that he’s not stressing over the change in circumstances.“Nothing is frustrating,” Funchess said, via Joe Person of . “I’ve gotta be smart with my back and make sure everything’s good. And when I’m out there, try to make sure my guys can make a play Youth Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey , as you saw. I’m trying to spring DJ. I’m trying to spring [running back Christian McCaffrey]. I’m trying to spring everybody. Just make sure my body is healthy and try to do what I can for the W.”The Panthers season has gone off the rails during their current five-game losing streak, so it’s not surprising that the team would be looking for the right mix of players to get a better result. Should they fail to settle on one that wins them Monday night’s game against the Saints, the end of the season and Funchess’ potential exit will feel much closer.
