Twitter is all I got, but it's a done deal. Good riddance !

Yeah, could see a few other IR or cuts so they can get in some younger , faster guys in to take a look at. Build toward next year time.

Agreed. I loved watching Ed Reed when he was younger, but he certainly got knocked down a rung or two in my book the last few years of is career.

The guy just wasn't very good anymore. I don't hold it against him and I don't get those who do hold it against him. He was what he was a year ago, we took a gamble, and we lost. Now that we are done we can at least start to put the mistake behind us.

Good luck going forward Ed. I'm glad you got one last pay day before your earning potential dried up. I am not so glad you got it from us, but oh well. Ed Reed doesn't crack the top 10 of reasons we fell apart this year.

Reports are that S Jawanza Starling has been signed off the Giants' practice squad to take Reed's roster spot. He was in camp with the Texans as an undrafted free agent.

Goodbye Eddie Reed
Though we barely saw you at all
You flew in on McNair's jet
After Quin left for Detroit
They talked about your impact
And your leadership
As the Ravens wished you luck

And it seemed to us
That you had lost a step or two
Not able to make a play
When you suited up
And you would have liked to start
Before that Keo kid
Your labrum burned out long before
Your contract ever did

With our luck, he now signs with the Colts and picks off a pass against us to seal a victory in Indy.
