Translation: My Ravens teammates gave me a hard time about the comments so now I’m backpedaling.

BTW, it’s spelled “Belichick” not Belichek”.

Smart move by Reed to not give the media more ammo for a story before the game is played. Regardless of if he ends up resigning in Baltimore or not, he’s already subscribing to the same “business first” attitude that Belichick and the Patriots epitomize so I definitely can see how they may be a fit.

Would love to see him in a Pats uniform, but won’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen.

Dlk47823, were going to pay Harper 7 mill this year. I would gladly give Reed that to come here and play. And Loomis is a genius with the cap. He’ll give Brees a 10 mill signing bonus to free up cap room.

Who is Ed Ree?

Isn’t this site a prime example on someone who misreported his words? I believe two days ago there was a headline Ed Reed could “definitely” see himself as a Patriot

The Patriots and Ed Reed would be an amazing pairing. Ed Reed is one of the best safeties in the NFL, if not the best. The Patriots secondary was subpar at best. Ed Reed like Tom Brady is a game changer. As a Pats fan, I would love to see Ed Reed in a Patriots uniform next season!

The media is relentlessly attacking Baltimore. It’s a joke. Baltimore loves our players especially Ray Ray and that’s all that matters. All you haters and media scum bags do not.

I think Chuck Pagano and his Colts will be the dark horse in the free agency of Ed Reed, no one seems to remember that Pagano is the one who helped recruit Reed to the U, those two have a long history and friendship. I’m a Ravens fan and I hope the Ravens can work out a deal with Reed but it looks pretty doubtful at this moment.

Someone in the Ravens organization obviously had an adult conversation with Ed about his focus.

How can “I can definitely see playing for Pats” be misinterpreted?

Hope the Saints sign him. He will be much needed and it would be cool to play in his home state.

Interesting thing is Reed doesnt use an agent. I think i heard one of just 2 guys in NFL. He will try to fit in Balto if he can

Trust in Ozzie

If there just isnt cap room (and i would take Kruger and Ellerbe in exchange for him) then i wonder how Smith would do there?

What he’s doing here is backtracking because his agent told him that teams won’t bid him up if they think he’s going to New England. If he doesn’t stay in Baltimore, he’ll go to whoever pays him the most.

And as a longtime Ravens fan, I hope Ed Reed gets a lot of money next year… but not for the Ravens. He’s been a phenomenal player and still has enough smarts to put fear into opposing QBs, but with the salary cap you can’t afford to overpay because of sentiment. It sucks, but it’s reality. Overpaying on Reed would mean that we’d probably be unable to sign other impact players (like Kruger) or be forced to cut bigger salaries (Boldin/J. Jones).

You all know that he was on TV when he was asked this question the other day and what was reported is what he said on TV. He came across as salavating at the opportunity to play for BB and the Patriots. Stephen A. Smith was flabbergasted at his comments.

He has a Better chance of playin back home in Nola than in New England. We need a safety and they already have a FS.

Reed will end up one of three places next year.. I’ll put odds on it.

Retired 50%
Ravens35%
Colts 15%

Nobody is linking him to a Colts team that needs a safety and is coached by his long time friend… former DC… and the coach who recruited him to play at Miami?

He is hanging it up (He talks about that every year) playing for the Ravens or playing for the Colts.

I wish he’d stay with the Ravens, but business is business. Even if he plays a couple years elsewhere I’m sure he’ll still get the one day contract offer to retire as a Raven when he’s ready to hang it up, and it won’t cheapen it one bit.

Ed Reed is a HOF’er. This is a non-story, kind of a dumb decision to take the bait on that comment, but he is in a position to say just about anything he wants. On a side note, I love seeing players with grey hair play at a high level, when Joey Galloway was with the Bucs he had grey hair and was around the same age and jogging by people. Super entertaining.

Next year, Ed Reed will be a Saint, playing in Rob Ryan’s 3-4 defense.

Preach. I wish this Super Bowl was about future HOFer Reed getting his first championship, but instead it’s all about Ray Ray. Love Reed, even as a Gator.

I think Reed is just speaking up about this now to make sure that he still has interest from teams come next season when he hits Free Agency. He is getting up there in age and will probably only receive one more decent 2-3yr contract. I can see him playing until he is 40, but NFL teams will probably only go with him until 37-38 years old. I am sure if the Ravens don’t give him the chance to retire in Baltimore, someone will. I can see him in New York, New England, Miami, Denver or New Orleans. He still has enough in him to draw some good attention.
