Free-agent safety Eric Reid has found a home within the NFL once again.

The Carolina Panthers signed Reid to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the Panthers for Reid, who followed in the footsteps of former San Francisco 49ers teammate Colin Kaepernick this past offseason in filing a collusion grievance against the NFL.

Actress Kate Mara, a member of a prestigious NFL football family, recently came out in favor of players who protest against the country during the national anthem.

The Pose star, whose family has stakes in the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers, told Variety that she supports what ever decision the players make on the protests, “whatever that might be.”

Mara’s uncle, Giants co-owner John Mara, was integral in creating the aborted NFL policy requiring players to either stand on the sidelines for the anthem or allowing them to stay in the locker room during the song.

Unlike her uncle, though, the actress opposes rules that would force the players to stand in honor of the country and flag during the Star-Spangled Banner.

After several players knelt or raised fists at the start of preseason games on Thursday, Mr. Trump went on the attack.

“The NFL players are at it again — taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem,” the president tweeted. “Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their ‘outrage’ at something that most of them are unable to define.”

He said the NFL should fine players who disrespect the flag.

Yet some sportswriters still keep bringing Kaepernick's name into the conversation. Even though the NFL has moved on from the man who started…
