It's difficult to imagine Ed Reed in anything other than a Ravens uniform, but he'll be donning the colors of the Houston Texans the next time we see him on a football field. Reed signed a three-year deal worth a reported $15 million with the Texans on Friday, shoring up a defense that hasn't been able to get the Texans into the Super Bowl just yet. Reed is getting on in years, but can he still make plays with the best of them?
- Invincible083: "And the odds of the Texans winning the Super Bowl for next year stayed remarkably the same."
- bucksalum01: "Honestly, reed WAS a great player, is avg now, and gets hurt...hes 34, i dont mind ravens letting him go"
- gjpick: "Everyone seems to forget that the Ravens D was not that good last year so it really shouldn't come as that big a surprise that they are re-tooling. While I would have loved to see Reed back for another year, especially since I own his jersey, he is simply not worth $5M per year."
- hansalexanderjl: "Good move by the Texans, they have needed some vet like this to come in and help in the lockeroom as much as on the field. Texans seem to get overwhelmed with the tought of playoffs and success, Reed should help mitigate that."
- molnoskeyj: "Reed is not going to be taking much of a pay cut. He has almost retired a few times over the last couple of years. His bonus is being spread to 3 years but he will not finish those years, making his per-year average go up."
- DevsWearPinstripesInBrooklyn: "This seems like a steal, considering all that Ed Reed has done over his career. 5 million guaranteed to a future first ballot Hall Of Famer?? Well played, Houston."
