While the veteran may have other options, it would be hard to see him leaving the Ravens.

love ed reed... but he's not the same player he used to be and financially and as a player ellerbe, kruger, art jones, and even cary williams is more important

This is an absolute must-read on Ed Reed, where Kevin Van Valkenburg, formerly of The Baltimore Sun, shows Ed's tremendous leadership role on this team. It also tells the WHOLE story about the now-famous "Team Meeting" held after the loss to Houston, and how it was Ed Reed and John Harbaugh working together that pulled this team out of the ashes:

Do I hope Reed is back as a Raven? Yes! But only if it's at the right price...

Ed reed has been my favorite player since he played in college . I see he is not the same player he once was , my mind tells me a younger player makes more sense . Yes he runs his mouth and says things he shouldn't , he keeps it real even at the expense of others. But one more year is not allot to ask let him train omar brown. the fo needs to find a way to get him back .

i loved that article thanks for sharing it .

I said it before, and I know it's just a gut feeling, But I believe Ed will reach a deal with the Ravens. I truely think he cares more about retiring a Raven and following Ray Lewis into the Ravens History books than he does about a one year big money deal with another team. Wait and see, I bet ya a buck I'm right on this one.

Though I have been wrong so many times.lol

[Ravensfan4life2010]

I am a huge ed Reed fan but his time is up! He doesnt tackle, lost a couple of steps, injuries are catching up. Also he will want more money cause he knows it will be his last years playing in the NFL. He will go to a different team and will be signed to a one day contract and retire a Raven. We need to go young at FS, we need to hit

[raven410]

I've got... 2 tickets to paradiiiiise!!! Ooooh ooooo oooo ooo ooo oh oh! Sorry still basking :-)

[RobFuseRaven]

At this point, if they can sign Ellerbe and Reed, I will be eternally happy. While Kruger is one of my favorite players, I've accepted that he most likely won't be here. I hope we sign Ihedigbo to a long term deal too. The guy played great.

[manofsteel]

He is always hurt....scared to tackle the correct way...low. Does not play his position well anymore. He should GO and take Cary Williams with him. He is not RAVEN material anymore. No one else wants him....that's why he is here. Get a new Safety and let Reed play second string. Spen the money on Kruger, Ellerbe and Bouldin. Reed please go!!!!!!

[Mystigo_Dragon]

While the line is important, the linebackers are important, the corners and safeties are important,... what's most important is the MIDDLE of the defense!

If we keep Ngata, Ellerbe and Reed we're good!!!

Can't believe it but I actually agree with you. Ellerbe being the biggest key.

[dhartm2]

If Reed comes back it needs to be on a deal that is reflective of his current level of play. Honestly if he wants too much money I'd prefer we just go young and get a safety that will tackle. That being said, if the deal is right I'd love to see Reed back there for another season.

[Stephenjr]

All the Reed haters are forgetting all the times this past year that Ed made big plays.We would of lost in KC if

[Stephenjr]

We would of lost in KC if Reed dosen't recover the fumble in the End zone.Ed is still a play maker and that is something you just can't teach.Omar Brown will benefit greatly by having Ed around 1 or 2 more years.So all the Haters yall aren't true Ravens fans.Yall are Bandwagoners!!!

[Stephenjr]

Players play and Haters hate!!

[caw710]

I disagree with some of you folks that Reed is done, I think he has a couple good years left in him. As far as hitting, I don't think there was any other defencive player fined as much as reed for hitting hard . Most of them appeared to be leagal hits as far as leading with the helmet, but the rule needs to be changed as far as helmet to helmet contact.
If Reed is reasonable, I think we should sign him for three years to stretch it out so not to hurt the cap, and let him retire the RAVEN he is.

[Popeye the sailor man]

As long as Reed is a Raven we'll always have a ticket to paradise and speaking of paradise, I'm expecting Joe Flacco and his dogs to take us there at least 5 more times before he retires and as long as Jim Caldwell's still with the Ravens, he'll keep the dog leash off of Flacco and turn him loose
