Kansas City, MO. (KCTV) – The former safety of Kansas City chiefs, Justin Reid, has enabled his decision to leave Kansas City in favor of the Saints of New Orleans.
Reid, who accepted three -year conditions with the Holy Orleans on March 11, signed an almost identical agreement by years and total money as he did with chiefs before the 2022 season.
“I text the spags and the coach (defensive of the rear) Merritt during the process to see if something could be developed,” said Reid to Kay Adams on Up & Adams. “But the only constant thing in this business is change. This is the only thing that has ever been the same year.”
Reid was a critical piece in the secondary of the chiefs during his three seasons in Kansas City, which led to two titles of the Super Bowl and another appearance of the Super Bowl. In 49 regular career games with the Chiefs, Reid had 3 interceptions, 265 plated and 4 bags.
“I do not think that it is because of a lack of desire for each other,” said Reid about his choice to leave for his country of origin, “but rather a product of the situation and the space of available salary ceiling and movements was the accent put by the off -season to go out and do.”
