Three years! My gosh. Will he even play after this season?
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/19/report-texans-offer-reed-three-years-at-4-million-per-year/Report: Texans offer Reed three years at around $4 million per yearThe Texans and the agents for safety Ed Reed met again in Phoenix, but reports are that they aren’t any closer to a deal.
Both men also agree that Reed is looking for more money, in the $6-7 million range, and that appears to be more than the Ravens are willing to pay as well. If Reed is only going to sign a contract that pays him around the same amount he made last year — $7.2 million — he could be waiting a while to wind up on a team for the 2013 season.
If that’s the case, the Texans and Ravens might both move on to other safety options and leave Reed with even less appealing offers if he’s going to keep his career going.
I doubt he'll play more than 2, and he plans to sign by it isn't official yet until he actually signs (tomorrow).
There's no way Ravens would pay for a 3 year deal for that money. Reed is declining (especially his speed), but I still want him
