Newsbreakers
July 9, 2010
Ed Reed will not be given a new contract by the Baltimore Ravens, according to NFL.com.

Our View:Not at all surprising, since he has three years and nearly $20 million remaining on his deal. Don't expect his contract to be a major issue this summer.
July 8, 2010
Ed Reed, who has three years and nearly $19 million remaining on his contract, is hoping to sign a new deal with the Ravens, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Our View:So not only is he not returning, he is looking for a new deal. That hip must be healing up better than we all thought. Stay tuned.
June 25, 2010
Ed Reed, who is recovering from reconstructive hip surgery, is unsure if he will be fully healthy by Week 1 of the regular season, according to Pro Football Talk.

Our View:He estimates that his hip is currently at 35 percent health. His injury will be one of this summer's key NFL storylines.
June 11, 2010
More than a month after he had surgery on his ailing hip, Ed Reed is still recovering in Colorado, according to the Baltimore Sun. He is not expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp this summer. "Ed is really working hard from everything I've heard," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said on Thursday. "Ed is at the stage of his career where he knows himself better than anybody."

Our View:Although it's obviously ideal for any player not to miss any of training camp, it should have little effect on the perennial all-pro's 2010 season. That is, as long as his hip heals up to 100 percent. Stay tuned.
May 6, 2010
NFL.com reports that Ed Reed, recovering from offseason hip surgery, fully expects to play football in 2010.

Our View:Reed is currently ahead of schedule in his rehab and is geared up for another season with the Ravens. Expect the team to treat him with kid gloves during training camp, but he should be good to go for the first game of the season, barring any setbacks of course. His friend and financial adviser Brad Davis stated, "Ed is as committed to football as I have ever seen. He told me he feels like he's 25 again." Sounds like he's pumped.
May 5, 2010
The Baltimore Sun reports that safety Ed Reed is currently recovering from offseason hip surgery. The surgery seems to indicate that he will indeed be back with the Ravens next season.

Our View:Reed was limited by the hip last season and ultimately missed four games because of it. We expect him to be back as one of the best safeties in the league this season, although his durability and age point to a steady decline in performance for the remainder of his career.
April 25, 2010

February 27, 2010
Updating a previous report, Ravens coach John Harbaugh expects Ed Reed (neck) to play next season, according to Aaron Wilson on Twitter.

Our View:Reed expressed doubt about returning for another season due to the worsening nerve impingement in his neck, but it sounds like his coach is confident in his comeback.

February 3, 2010
Head coach John Harbaugh expects Ed Reed to return to the Ravens for the 2010 campaign, according to the Baltimore Sun. Harbaugh said, "I believe Ed is going to play next year. If he does not, we will have to have a plan in place to move on. There is no better leader, no better football player, no better guy on our team than Ed Reed. We need him back."

Our View:Reed is 50/50, regarding whether or not he will return or hang up his cleats. The elite free safety has had trouble staying healthy, which will play into his decision to resume his career.
January 26, 2010
Despite saying otherwise a few weeks ago, elite Ravens safety Ed Reed is unlikely to retire this offseason, according to the National Football Post.

January 17, 2010
The Associated Press confrims that Ravens all-pro safety Ed Reed, age 31, is considering retirement.

Our View:Reed dealt with a smattering of injuries all season long, appearing in just 12 games. His three interceptions were also his fewest since 2005. That being said, he still has $19.7 million and three years remaining on his contract, and was likely just frustrated after Baltimore's loss on Saturday night. He will most likely play in 2010.
January 16, 2010

January 3, 2010
The Baltimore Ravens are expecting free safety Ed Reed to play today - not a full game but part of it, according to Adam Schefter's (ESPN) twitter page.

January 1, 2010
Ed Reed is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, according to NFL.com. He has been out since November 29 with a groin injury.
