Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed, who was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2004, has agreed to a six-year, $40 million contract extension. We can begin counting the days until he gets frustrated with losing and demands a trade… now.
Then again, in the six games Reed missed with an ankle injury last season, the Ravens went 1-5, beating only a Tommy Maddox-led Steelers team in a game that made me very sad. Reed’s presence may actually help the Ravens’ defense. Not that I would ever hope for such a thing…
