Justin Reid thanks Texans, McNair family, fans in social media post

Justin Reid is moving on.

The former Houston Texans 2018 third-round pick will continue his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs starting in 2022. Reid signed a three-year contract with the AFC West club that hopes to keep a foothold on the division that it has won every year going back to 2016.

Reid took to Instagram on March 14 to express his gratefulness to the Texans organization and to the McNair family for the past four seasons.

I’m so lucky to have started my career in Houston. I have so many memories I’ll cherish from the football field to the community. Houston has a special place in my heart and there is no better place that I could have come to as a rookie to learn how to be a better pro and a better man.
I’d like to thank the McNair family for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to play the game I love in this incredible city. I’d like to thank all the coaches I’ve had through the years that were able to fine tune my game and take me to the next level. Most of all, I want to thank the fans and my teammates… you’ve all made my journey here absolutely unforgettable and I will cherish all the great memories.

However, the end of one chapter is the beginning of the next! I’m so excited for this next phase and I’ve only got one thing to say.

To my new coaches, teammates, and the city of Kansas City: I’M READY! Let’s get to work and win another SuperBowl 💪🏾 #ChiefsKingdom

The Texans have made moves to shore up their secondary with the departure of Reid. Terrence Brooks is returning to the club, and the Texans have also signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns safety M.J. Stewart.
