I don't expect Reed to sign for the veteran minimum. My post was made in fun.

The guy has publicly contemplated retirement each of the last two summers, as he finished off a below market deal.

Now his contract is up and he is talking up his teams biggest foe? I will chalk this up to early negotiating with the ravens.

Having Reed would sort of conflict with DMc's position wouldn't it?

Neither is an SS. Regardless he'd be a good player coach

A secondary of Talib/Dennard and Reed/McCourty is too good to be true.

I would love to see an Ed Reed/Matt Elam safety duo myself.

In lieu of signing Talib?

Welcome to the Pats, Ed

Dont want him if we can find a younger faster player. He isnt the same anymore.

Marqui · 01-30-2013, 02:06 PM

Please let this happen.

EDIT: Oh, Mccourty would be a backup safety then...

I'm not sure whether the FS/SS distinction is that important in an era where you play nickel as much as you play base, and where even in the base D your linebackers excel at run defense.

I used to think the difference was important but not anymore.

I'd like a big nickel package as an option, frankly, with 3 safeties, and Ed and Devin would be fine as two of them, with a taller 3rd guy for TE coverage.
