Eric Reid's grievance against the Cincinnati Bengals has been denied by an arbitrator Youth Deshaun Davis Jersey , a decision that has irked the NFL Players Association.The union said that arbitrator Shyam Das found that the team asking Reid during a free-agent visit if he planned to kneel during the national anthem violated fair hiring practices. The union argues that standing for the anthem is not required in the labor agreement with the league.The grievance claimed that Reid wasn't signed by any team because of his anthem protests. Reid is now with the Carolina Panthers, whom he joined this month and with whom he has continued to kneel during "The Star-Spangled Banner." The interview with Bengals owner Mike Brown came in April."So when the NFLPA found out about my interaction with Mike Brown, they wanted to file the grievance on my behalf," Reid said Wednesday. "And I agreed to move forward on that on principle."It's interesting White Deshaun Davis Jersey , it kinds of smells fishy that the arbitrator ruled that I proved the facts of the case, which are that they asked me some inappropriate questions, but he ruled I didn't win the case."The Bengals said Wednesday they have no comment on the matter.The union added, "We will review the decision more carefully with Eric and his lawyers to consider our next steps."Reid filed a collusion lawsuit against the NFL because he was not signed by any team after he left the 49ers as a free agent following the 2017 season. Reid was one of the first players to join former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in his protests of social and racial injustice during the anthem."We are going to move forward with the collusion case Tyler Boyd Jersey ," the safety said. "They are completely unrelated, that case was against the Bengals individually, and that (collusion) case was against the league as a whole."

The Bengals hired Nick Eason as their defensive line coach yesterday Cheap Kevin Huber Jersey , making Eason the first defensive assistant hired with Lou Anarumo in the fold as their defensive coordinator.Eason was hired to be Vanderbilt's defensive line coach just this offseason. He previously was a defensive assistant at Austin Peay, where he worked mostly with their linebackers.One thing that sets Eason apart from a lot of Zac Taylor?s staff is they personally haven?t crossed paths in the work place. Eason also has plenty of experience in the NFL; spending three seasons with the Titans and one with the Browns as a defensive line coach.Eason spent 10 seasons in the NFL as a defensive tackle before becoming a coach. He bounced around playing with the Broncos, Browns, Steelers and Cardinals Darqueze Dennard Jersey , and he finished with 128 tackles and seven sacks over his career.Defensive line coach was not a vacancy that Taylor expected to fill. Jacob Burney, who was with Cincinnati in 2018, opted to retire after it appeared that Taylor was willing to have him return to his role. Taylor made sure to hire a defensive coordinator before any new defensive assistants.Eason is set to takeover a group that already has Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap heading it. His main concern will be continuing to develop Carl Lawson (who missed most of last season with an injury), Sam Hubbard Cheap Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey , Ryan Glasgow (also placed on injured reserve) and Jordan Willis.What do you think of the hire?
