Ravens-reed-baltimore
Safety Ed Reed was back with the Ravens on Thursday, another strong signal that he'd be on the field with Baltimore this season despite continued cryptic messages that he would consider skipping camp and possibly part of the season. Reed took part in a workout at team headquarters that was recorded by the Ravens and posted on the team's official website. He did not participate in offseason workouts with the team. Reed, 34, is entering the final year of his contract. This offseason alone, he's said football was no longer a priority -- and a month later said he could see himself playing three or four more years.

Ravens To Let FS Ed Reed Test Free Agency Next Year?

If negotiations with QB Joe Flacco work out, the Ravens front office will still have that nice little bargaining tool, the franchise tag, to use on another player and since newly signed running back Ray Rice won’t need it either, the next logical person could be future Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed. But don’t count on Reed getting tagged either, says Mortensen. “Don’t forget the...

With Ray Rice Locked Up, is Ravens QB Joe Flacco Next?

The biggest story out of Ravens camp this offseason hasn’t been about Terrell Suggs’ injury, or Joe Flacco saying he thinks he’s the best quarterback in the league or even that Chuck Pagano bolted to coach the kids in Indy this year.
