Released: S Eric Reid, S Colin Jones
Adding Cooper to the receiver corps and the special teams unit is the team’s best move. Releasing Reid is easily the worst. Not only did it punch a hole in the defensive backfield, the move actually made the 2020 cap situation worse, adding $5 million in dead money and saving just $3 million. Reid offered depth at safety and linebacker and letting Jones leave will hurt a special teams unit that was already in poor shape.
