Re: Reed to Houston confirmed.
I've got such a low regard for the media nowadays that to me they're someplace between divorce lawyers and used car salesmen. If they're not reporting gossip as fact using "unnamed sources" then they're unnecessarily and assiduously bashing people because they have a license and a platform in which to do so. I suspect Ed Reed is emotionally spent. If so, he is smart to diss the media in that condition. I don't blame him one damn bit. rant over

Re: Reed to Houston confirmed.
Apparently his deal is confirmed (watching NFL network) as $15M over 3 years, with $6M in the first. Pretty rich, but not sure what his guaranteed number is.
Really excited to see how Ed leads a defense as the #1 guy. Wish he could have done it with us, but you can't blame him for wanting a big payday at his age now that he's got his ring, especially with a good club like Houston.

Re: Reed to Houston confirmed.
Also certainly can't blame Ozzie for sitting pat. many here didn't even want us to go as high as 12/3, I would've been okay with it...But no way Ozzie would've gone for 15/3.
It's sad to see him go, but we'll find our next leadership on D in this year's and next year's drafts. In 3 years, I'll bet we sign Reed to a one day contract and have him officially retire here..

Re: Reed to Houston confirmed.
The difference between this board and Facebook is that people sign in here specifically to talk about the Ravens with other fans within a community. With Facebook, a lot of people will be signed in anyway and with broader topics at their attention. They see a post about something like the Ravens and they immediately overreact.

Re: Reed to Houston confirmed.
Also, there are a lot of Steeler fans, Bengals fans, Browns fans, Pats fans, etc who will troll more on FB than on a message board.
Twitter is pretty bad too. Saw a guy launch a profanity laden tirade against Ellerbe, I said as a Ravens fan, show some class man, and he told me to lick my toes ugly. Yup, he sure won that battle..

I've had fun telling Texans fans about Reed's nerve impingement.
Majority of them know nothing about it.

Re: Reed to Houston confirmed.
Part of this perception comes from Schaub missing the playoffs, the year prior. Many declared that had Schaub been able to play, instead of T.J. Yates, the Texans would have defeated the Ravens. Thus, Schaub was seen as the missing piece. Well, Schaub played this past postseason, didn't put in any better of a performance against Cincinnati than Yates did, and did not produce enough against New England. So, the perception will be out there that he failed to rise to the occasion and it will all come crashing down on him.

Re: Reed to Houston confirmed.
Agreed.
I was commenting on most fans here don't know the whole story. Yes, he played all year, but he's one hit away from retirement. That's the little nugget most Texans fans have not heard as of yet.
Combine that with the $6 Million price tag and it starts to be clear to the more knowledgeable fans here that they over paid for him.
