My guess is that it’s truly a personal matter. I won’t speculate. Just consider personal things that might be important enough for you to request time off work.
I’m open to the idea of Reed being dissatisfied, but I didn’t think he would hold out given his stature with the team and the impact on his teammates. Who really knows outside the team right now. Sitting out will give Mills a chance to show what he’s got. If he steps up it will be good for him and the team. If not Reed will have hurt the team if the run defense suffers.
I think it is fairly simple. He wants one more deal. I don’t think the Seahawks can afford to give him what he wants. We have to assume they are planning on resigning Darnold and they have Murphy as well.

Excellent article.
I saw a couple of those comments/tweets about Reed and my head turned. Great work pointing out what is likely going on.
A mid season hold out is quite odd, especially on a good team.

He is still very effective
Add Barner to that as well
