Free agent safety Eric Reid said Thursday he is not planning to protest during the national anthem this upcoming season.

Reid has been among the NFL’s most visible protesters since former San Francisco teammate Colin Kaepernick decided not to stand for the national anthem in 2016.

Reid continued the protest of racial injustice and police brutality against minorities by kneeling during the anthem last season as Kaepernick was unable to find a job. But Reid said he will take a different approach in 2018.

”We understand you have to change with the times http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/josh-jackson-jersey ,” he said after watching his brother, Justin, take part in his Pro Day at Stanford.

”I’m not saying I’m going to stop being active because I won’t. I’m just going to consider different ways to be active, different ways to bring awareness to the issues of this country and improve on the issues happening in this country. I don’t think it will be in the form of protesting during the anthem. I say during because it’s crazy that the narrative changed to we were protesting the anthem and that wasn’t the case. I think we’re going to take a different approach to how we’re going to be active.”

Reid has gotten no contract offers more than a week into free agency despite a record of strong play on the field and versatility that many teams usually covet.

San Francisco general manager John Lynch said the team is monitoring the market for Reid but the Niners are mostly set at safety with Jaquiski Tartt, Jimmie Ward and Adrian Colbert under contract.

Reid said his agent has heard from a ”couple” of teams but money hasn’t been discussed and he is still awaiting an opportunity. Reid has said that he understands his activism could affect his employment, especially after watching Kaepernick go unsigned for more than a year.

”I said before Pernell McPhee Jersey , I stand by what I’ve done,” he said. ”I know why I’ve done it. My faith in God is the reason. I can go to sleep at night confident that I did what I was taught to do. I’m just going to stay positive, keep training, keep staying in shape and we’ll see what happens.”

Reid was a first-round pick by the 49ers in 2013 and made the Pro Bowl as a rookie. He has been a strong player throughout his career, playing strong safety, free safety and even some linebacker last season when San Francisco was short-handed at the position.

He has 10 interceptions and 36 passes defensed in 70 career games.

”Eric played and played well for us last year John Miller Jersey ,” Lynch said. ”I think he’s kind of stuck in a safety market that’s been quiet. I would anticipate things starting to shake for him. We’ll see.”

While Eric Reid looks for a team, he spent Thursday helping his brother prepare for his Pro Day. Justin Reid is considered one of the top safeties eligible for the draft and will likely get picked on the first two days of next month’s draft.

Justin Reid said he has visits planned with Minnesota, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Seattle and Carolina. He also met with 29 teams at the combine but said no one has asked him about his brother or if he would protest during the anthem.

Justin Reid said he’s prepared for those questions if they come and that he won’t protest.

”We each have our own beliefs Antonio Morrison Jersey ,” he said. ”He felt like that’s what he needed to do. I have my own ways that I feel like I’m going to go about it. I’m not as much of a vocal person in that situation. I don’t really like drama. I don’t want to deal with that.”

Jon Gruden said at the NFL Scouting Combine in February that he wants Amari Cooper to be the “focal point” of the Raiders’ passing game. The fourth-year receiver wants to be just that.

鈥淚t was cool,鈥?Cooper said, via Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle. 鈥淥bviously, as a receiver, you want to go out there and make plays for your team to win. So for him to say that, it really meant a lot to me. I鈥檓 just ready to come out and work and prove that I deserve to have those opportunities.鈥?/p>

Cooper left Tuesday’s practice early with what coach Jon Gruden called a “twing” in his hamstring. Injuries (and drops) hurt him last season when he caught only 48 passes for 680 yards.

鈥淗e鈥檚 got to stay healthy Josh Norman Jersey , number one,鈥?Gruden said Tuesday. 鈥淲e鈥檝e got to do a lot of things better for him to be better, but number one I think is health.鈥?/p>

Cooper caught 72 passes for 1,070 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie and 83 passes for 1,153 yards and five touchdowns in 2016. He made the Pro Bowl both seasons.

He hopes to be that version of himself again this season.
