“Conversations have been great, amazing. We’re on the same page as far as what we need to get done.” If Reed signs with the Texans, as many around the NFL are predicting, he will be close to New Orleans, his hometown.
“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).”
