REED GETS PAID
According to the Baltimore Sun, the Ravens have signed safety Ed Reed to a six-year contract extension, which reportedly will pay him $12 million to $15 million in guaranteed money. Per the Sun, Reed will be the highest-paid safety in the league.
Reed was scheduled to make $1.983 million in 2006, the final year of his rookie contract.
Reed was the team's first-round pick in 2002, and he was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2004. He has been politicking for a new deal since then, but was stuck behind guys like Todd Heap and Jamal Lewis (who never got a long-term deal and re-signed with the team only after no one else offered him big money).
Reed's contact is likely to cause even more tension between linebacker Ray Lewis and the team, since Lewis has been campaigning for more money even longer than Reed. Indeed, there have been rumors in the past that Reed's success has created a quiet rift with Lewis, since Reed was in line to get more money before him.
