Soo much hate.

I’m a skins fan I recognize how good Reed is. He is a first ballet Hall of Famer.

Polomlu maybe if he heals and goes back to what he was. But thats a hard think for guys over 30.

Touche ziplock10. Reed has been useless for at least a few years now!

Ed and Troy play different positions. That’s why they are ALWAYS the starting combination at safety in the Probowl when they play the entire season.

Ed is certainly a first ballot hall of famer. No one can take an interception to the house like Reed. But, like all greats, he is starting to feel the effects of time. If he hangs up the cleats I’ll be sorry to see him go, but it could be the best move for his legacy.

Best safety of all time, class act all the way.

His hit on Cruz should be what the NFL considers textbook, shoulder to the chest. It is very unlikely either player would be injured in that type of hit….with this fine, all Goodell & Hanks did was set a precedent that hard hitting is now fine’able. Is it their game to do that ? This is a disgrace…I’m all for player safety but clearly the NFL has no idea what its doing. I guess if he hit Cruz in the knees & tore his ACL’s everything would be copacetic.

“You know, you slow down physically, but mentally you get a lot stronger and you understand the game more”

Except what is and is not an illegal hit

I look at Ed Reed and think of Sean Taylor. No way would the NFL allow the hits he used to give.

O-limeman hold and WR push off with regularity now its part of the game.

I feel sorry for Ed because he is a true talent and the game has changed. You’re no longer allowed to apply the wood over the middle anymore.

Ray and Ed both need to retire as Ravens. Ray should hang it up after this season. Ed still has a couple more left. I hope he and the Ravens can come to terms so he can finish up his career in Baltimore where he should.

Ed Reed is a first ballot HOF player. No one can deny that.

As much as it pains me to say it, I’d rather see Ed Reed back next season than Ray Lewis. Ray is the best to ever play his position but Father Time has finally caught up to Ray. We have no other FS’s close to Reed’s current level and as of now Dannell Ellerbe & Jameel McClain seem to be suitable replacements at MLB. With that being said, the offense is starting to evolve and has to carry this team to a Super Bowl because both Lewis & Reed deserve to go out on top.
