In any event, this afternoon Oz came out and said he wasn't going to tag Reed. So that's that I guess! Though I do think we'll re-sign him, possibly as some have said, after letting him see what kinds of numbers are actually out there. It's all well and good for Belichick to blow sunshine up Reed's ass all day long, but we'll see how much actual money he'll be willing to blow up Reed's ass.
Agree Kruger is not terribly likely as a re-sign, but he may not see what he wants on the market. Really only the one good season, and that only kicked in once Suggs got back healthy opposite him to command double teams. Not a lot of teams can use him to good effect like the Ravens can.
So we have to hope the market recognizes that fact, no one bites on his 9million+ demand, and maybe we get him at a realistic salary. MAYBE.....
