Just read on ESPN that Ed Reed is planning to play in 2014.  http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11018106/ed-reed-not-retiring-hopes-join-team-later-year

 

Looks like he isn't willing to sign until closer to the season or mid-season -- but I wonder if his connection with Pagano will warrant us trying him out -- he definitely seemed to have lost several steps last year, but if he can get back to full health I would be up for giving him a shot on our roster for a year/part of a year.

[Moncrief]

Ehhhhhh no thanks. Ed has had himself a good career and should hang it up

[Smonroe]

You usually don't get better with age. But as a sort of player coach, he'd be worth a couple mil.

Don't see the Colts wasting their time on this one. Ed Reed is going in the Hall of Fame, he needs to throw in the towel. I would hate to see him suffer more injuries and worse conditions just for continuing this.

Pass

[AwesomeAustin]

I don't see why not if its at a bargain while he chases another ring. I wouldn't mind him playing towards the end of the season and the playoffs if he is the better option over Howell. However, if we are solid at safety and Grigs and Pagano like what we have then I will take their word for it. They are the professionals and know what they are doing.

[BigQandTheManiac]

for depth i don't see why not..especially since we're thin at safety and howell and landry are both injury prone..

lol no. There is no such thing.

[dudeski]

This bum collected a check and mailed it in last year. Anyone that wants this guy doesn't understand football

[Burls' Kid's]

 Depends on the asking price and how the hip feels.

[Day at the Hilton]

I'd do it he had more picks than our starting safeties did last year

[akcolt]

It appeared last year he had lost his speed maybe that was the hip or maybe it is he is 35 I don't see him making our 53 man roster but you never can tell

 

I think I would rather look at Mike Adams

I agree.  It's never fun to see an athlete stay in the game longer than he should.  Reed's season last year was really bad, marred by injuries and poor play.  Time to hang 'em up

[cbear]

I'd bring in my grandmother if I thought she could help the team. Bring him in if he's willing and see what he's got.

[HtownColt]

When the injuries start to hit teams he'll probably get a call from somebody

[Smonroe]

lol no. There is no such thing.

Tell that to Peyton.

Ed Reed was a HoF Safety.... Key word in that sentence being WAS. 

The dude has a passion for the game which you have to respect, but he appears to not know when to call it because he truly has lost a step.... or two... A real shame because he was a great player in this league, but he is done I think. He will probably get signed by some desperate team, but I hope it's not us because he will just get burned every time.

[John Waylon]

He flunked out with the Texans, and the Jets gave him a polite "goodbye".

So to quote the above post:

"The short answer to that is no"

[PrincetonTiger]

Have a feeling he will not want Backup money

[JLeòdhas]

Ed needs to go to the house and enjoy his already made money.

[Adonai]

I think that whether the fans want him or not - or even if there was some kind of need there - I doubt we would pick him up because he doesn't want to participate in training camp. That time would be a lot of why we would take him, so he could help the younger players through camp with his knowledge & insight - and we could evaluate where he really is physically.

[Ja'Crispy]

 

Ed Reed is not like a fine wine.

[pgt_rob]

Ed is done. He should start planning his retirement party.

[ProblChld32]

Love Ed Reed, but i think his tank is on E ...he should just hang it up now.

[MacDee1975]

He's available?  But I thought that he was the missing piece to that 2013 Houston Texan juggernaut that was going to win the Super Bowl?  He's not on their roster anymore?

 

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I would wait an see what the safety population looks like after training camp begins!

[GoColts8818]

I don't mind kicking the tires but I really don't think he's the answer.

[BlueShoe]

Hard to imagine a team would attempt to have 3 safeties on IR in the same season.

Hat-trick!
