Texans Sign Ed Reed

[Cam Cam]

Safety Ed Reed has agreed to a three-year contract worth $15 million -- $5 million of which is guaranteed -- with the Houston Texans, according to the Houston Chronicle. Reed, who has spent his entire career with the Baltimore Ravens, visited the Texans last week but left Friday without a deal. Sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, though, that Reed informed the team that he intended to sign. Reed will be taking a pay cut. According to reports, Reed had been seeking a salary similar to the $7.2 million he earned last season.

Houston has lost safety Glover Quin to Detroit and tight end James Casey and linebacker Connor Barwin to Philadelphia since free agency began.
Reed, 34, has played all 11 of his NFL seasons in Baltimore, where he's the franchise leader in interceptions with 61. His 1,541 return yards with those pickoffs is an NFL career record. He was the NFL defensive player of the year in 2004 and an eight-time All-Pro.

What are your thoughts on this?

I was really hoping the Colts would sign him...

This is a good signing by Houston though. Reed should make a fine replacement for Quin.

I am really glad to see him out of the AFC North, but he is still going to be able to bully the AFC, but now he will be on the Texans. Houston is definitely one of the Super Bowl favorites next season. They are going to be one of the best teams in the league again.

I'm definitely glad we won't have to face him twice a year now. This is gonna help out the Texans a lot... he's gonna be a great defensive leader.
