Is It The End For Reed?

The end came for Ed Reed today when the Houston Texans released him after a disappointing season. Reed signed a 3 year/$15 million contract as a free agent after coming off hip surgery.

Reed has always been one of Coach Belichick's favorite defensive players, but is it too late at this stage for Reed to make an appearance in Foxborough? He has lost a step and was relegated to backup duty in Houston. His frustration finally erupted after their most recent loss which resulted in the team releasing him.

If the Pats have a chance, why not sign him? Whoever gets Reed him will owe him $412,000, as well as $62,500 for each game he is on the active roster.

Reed probably should have retired last season. You can't blame him for signing a $15 million contract. He must have known he wasn't going to see most of that money.

It's hard to walk away from the game when someone throws money at you.
