If the Texans are willing to spend 2/3rds of their available cap space on Ed, I won't complain.

I love Ed, but $6m a year for a guy who can barely tackle is not a wise move.

“It’s been a great ride,” Reed said about his 11 seasons with the Ravens. “The fan support has been truly amazing – a lot of love and a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

“It’s definitely tough, but after 11 years, you pretty much understand things about the business. After leaving a program like Miami and being around the great people in Baltimore, I think the transition (to his next team) will be all right.”
One of Reed’s best friends is his former Miami teammate, Andre Johnson.

“Andre’s like a little brother to me,” Reed said. “He’s always known that any time he needs anything, he can always call me.
“He hasn’t been recruiting me, but he’s been communicating with me the last 10 years about Houston. I’ve always had a great time here, and I’ve always competed well against (Texans).”

Will just say now that the last image of Ray and Ed as Ravens we will all have is them carrying the Lombardi.

Given what they meant to this franchise that is a pretty special way to end it for them and for us.

Ed will always be a Raven and fans we will always be grateful for what he brought to the field every Sunday. Good luck and God bless Ed.

Texans putting full court press on Ed Reed... Want him to take physical and sign before he leaves Houston. #RavensTalk

Getting a feeling this is like Ray in '09. Ravens aren't making any moves right now. Either it's part of the plan or they are waiting to hear back from Ed.

Nobody was interested in Ray. Reed will be a Texan by days end.

ray didn't get any visits though. Ed is getting literally unheard of attention from the Texans. They have NEVER gone this far for a FA.

They are going to pay him whatever it takes.
