Reid was waived by Seattle at the end of August as a part of their cuts to get to 53 players. He was stashed on their practice squad shortly after being waived. The Seahawks originally acquired Reid from the Texans in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick. He appeared in 13 games for Houston in 2020 and played a mix of special teams and corner. Reid will serve a similar role for Seattle this season.

Reid was acquired in a trade from the Texans just seven days away. The 2020 fourth-rounder will reportedly be stashed on the practice squad if he clears waivers. The Seahawks are trying to have their cake and eat it, too, stashing Reid while keeping the conditional seventh-round pick they had been set to trade. 

A 2020 fourth-rounder, Reid profiles as a small slot corner, and he'll have a chance to play for a job in Seattle after the trade. Reid played 32 defensive snaps in the 2020 opener against Kansas City, but made the mistake of revealing to Texans management that he was a rookie and was mostly banished from the depth chart until Week 16. Reid had been playing in preseason garbage time in both 2021 games thus far with Houston.
