The FA Pursuit and Signing of S Ed Reed

[Keith]

The key is to not sign Reed to anything longer than two years... that would create a dead money issue. Talking about a 1- or 2-year deal would not scare me.

...plus, you are furthering the gutting of the Super Bowl champs' defense, especially up the middle, and bringing in a team leader everyone on the defense will look up to, someone to mentor whatever young defensive backs are drafted next month.

Just have to hope Reed remains healthy, at least for 2013.
