Ed Reed to Indy?

[Narcosys]

Was reading a recent article on my NFL 12' app which was saying that word is the Ravens will release him to FA. His two mist likely places to end up would be Indy and New England. Indy cause if his relationship with pagano and our cap space, NE cause of belichecks known admiration and respect for his skill. Is this something we should pursue?

[Balzer40]

I would rather go after someone much much younger, but if the Colts had a plan to draft somebody that they think will be a stud in a yr. or 2, then we could use him as a stop gap. Wouldn't pay him very much or sign him for longer than a yr., though.

Jarius Byrd

[TKnight24]

Reggie Wayne said he's gonna recruit Ed Reed

Draft Matt Elam, Kenny Vaccaro, or Rambo to let them learn under Reed. He'll probably only play for another year or 2 honestly

[JWF]

Eh....go after Byrd or draft one.

Reed is still decent but he's clearly not the same player he was in the past.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I wouldn't mind it at a very reasonable price. He could be a great mentor to our young players and I believe he still has a little bit in the tank. At worst he's a great leader in the clubhouse and on the field.

[NewEra]

If he came cheap. He would bring some much needed attitude and leadership to the d. Bad bing would be age. If this was a few years ago I'd say heck ya! If we do get him I hope we pick up a Elam for him to mentor! Heck he could probably help bethea also

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Lemme do the math here....

 

If Ed Reed + hits the FA Market = he'll be a member of the Indianapolis Colts next season.

 

Let the cross-leveling between Baltimore & Indianapolis continue.

Yep.  And an old(er) Ed Reed is still better than anything we have now.

While Ed Reed is still in the playoffs, this is all speculation.  Did your dog eat your homework again?

[hoosierhawk]

No way can we fill all of our needs this year in the draft. We need too much. Pick him up if he's not horrible expensive and next year draft a replacement.

[SLILLINGTON10]

ed would sure bring a leadership/accountablity to the secondary it very desperatly needs.

[oldunclemark]

The only way Ed Reed would come to Indy is as a DB coach..for Pagano

[GoColts8818]

If we can get him on a cheap two year deal or something like that I don't think would be a bad thing. 

[Smonroe]

I don't think anyone thinks we can fill our needs in the draft. If we get two starters, that's a great draft. We have the money to get proven players. Reed can be one of those if he doesn't price himself out of the market.

Although, the story in Baltimore is that Ozzie doesn't like to let guys like that get away.

[HungarianColtsFan]

5 years ago I would've said yes. Right now, I think no. Here are the reasons why not:

-He is an emblematic player of Ravens, he should resign and walk into HOF as a Raven.

-He has perhaps 1 year left, if he would win an SB now, I think he would resume his career. If he wouldn't win, he should choose an other SB contender team (if he leaves Ravens)

-I'm not sure he wants to leave Ravens.

Obviously you didn't do your homework at all.  The topic, written by a sports analyst, discusses that the Ravens WILL MOST LIKELY release him after the season, meaning after the playoffs.  So now do you care to reply to this topic and add some value or continue to sound like an *.

[Narcosys]

Furthermore, isn't anything we discuss that hasn't happened speculation. What's wring with speculating?

problem with that is both Elam and Vaccaro are projected top 20 picks, atleast in the couple of mock drafts i have seen in the last month. Rambo is projected to be drafted in the second round (which we dont have a pick in that round) so chances are we wont get any of them unless the colts either trade up in the first round. i like all three and would want which ever one we got to be the starter next year, not sit on the bench. if i had to guess Elam may actually fall to us.

so was peyton manning, and look where he is playing. great players dont always stick with the team they were with their whole career.

I see what you're saying. I want Elam or Vaccaro.

I was just listing the options since this thread was about Ed Reed. But me personally, I want a fresh young Safety

can we call Ray Lewis and keep him from retirement ??? lol

  Rambo we can get because we DO have a 2nd round pick.  Vontae Davis did not play enough games this year to fulfill the conditional second pick obligation so we didnt lose that pick to them.

I think Peyton's case is a little different as having 2-3 more seasons...even more.

and their def. really good options. and although projected to be a top 20 pick i honestly think Elam will fall down to us. and if he does im hoping the colts do pick him.

the conditional pick was a 6th round pick. the 2nd round pick was the deal to the dolphins for davis.

Ah yes thats right, my mistake.  I confused myself.  Good catch.

would be nice though if it was the 2nd round pick being the conditional pick lol

That was our 6th round pick we get to keep. We can always trade our 1st for. 2nd and other picks though if they wanted to.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

I guess if someone stupid wanted to do that.

Pretty sure he was joking.

I say the Draft should be Defense Heavy since offense was the "Theme" last year. Then use FA for both Offense & Defense imo

[needanoline63]

Jarius Byrd and Antoine bethea, PLEASEEEE

[hawkeyes]

The guy is ready to retire and you want him here? why?

[BPM_Colt]

I say no need to invest the money into a guy that would probably play a year or 2

[Tyler Shaw]

I say bring him for a year or too. Be a great veteran to learn from and teach some of the younger guys in the secondary, esp.  if we draft a safety in the 3 or 4th round.

[Gavin]

Reed is a Raven for life

[Mitch]

I would love to see Ed Reed in a colts uniform next year. Yeah he's old and close to retirement but this could motivate him to play hard with old teammate/roommate Reggie Wayne on the same team. I think it'd be cool to see Ed Reed and Reggie play a couple years together then retire at same time, both as a Colt. Ed is better than anyone else we have(tom/joe). It must be a reasonable price though, I don't want to just pay him cause of his name, maybe Wayne will talk his price down? We shall see

[wig]

If he came at the right price he would bring the attitude and leadership to the team that the back 7 could use. You don't bring him in at this point for his talent.
