The only Baltimore athlete more crazy than Kevin Gausman right now is probably Ed Reed.
The Ravens safety stuck it to the man — or the GM and coaches — on Twitter. After considering retirement and skipping mandatory minicamps, Reeds sent a loud and clear message to the Ravens over the weekend.
“Tell the bosses I’m comfortable,” he tweeted.
So it’s about money. Shocking.
Unfortunately for him, he’s not going to get a new deal. The 33-year-old future hall of famer has been on his last leg for years now. He’s due to make $7.2 million this season as his six-year $44.4 million contract signed in 2006 is set to expire at the season’s end.
Cap space is tight and a longterm deal for Reed definitely isn’t what Ozzie Newsome had planned. But it’s Reed’s last chance to get one.
Might as well try. I guess…
Ed’s schtick is becoming a much anticipated summer sideshow like the Glen Burnie Carnival or the Dundalk Heritage Fair. The guy is a certified goof with little left in his tank and he’s slated to make $7.2 mil…take it and run, Ed. Your 6-7 interceptions are make all the headlines while your propensity to leave your corners out to dry goes unnoticed by the “Pink Hats”.
Agreed. This is getting old and as much as I love the man for what he’s done in the past, i see this team ready to move on. The Ravens brass are anticipating the last day of his contract and they may make an offer next year, but it will be a half-a$$ attempt.
We enjoyed Ed and Ray at their best,,,,,,,it is now time for both to retire as they now weaken the defense , the Ravens no longer have the weapons around them to prop them up , you will see this year they drop out of the top ten and beyond,,,,,,,,,Ozzie’s time has come and gone also , he no longer can handle the intricacies of the salary cap , it is way beyond his capability now,,,,,,,,,,retire people , please retire………..
