Free safety Ed Reed became the latest Ravens player to speak out, and in his case it's about his contract. Specifically, he feels disrespected. "For what I give on the football field and for what they know they're going to get, it's much more than these young guys out here today and what they're getting," Reed said during a radio appearance. I got some unfinished business. I got a lot on my mind I've been thinking about. The truth of the matter is, it's about respect. It's about getting respect and it's a business." The 2002 first-round pick out of the University of Miami just wants to be treated fairly. "My plan when I went to negotiate was always, it's always to help the team," he said. "I was not trying to break the bank. Do I deserve a good substantial amount? I mean you look at Peyton [Manning, Broncos quarterback]. Peyton got five [years] for $96 [million]? I know I'm not a quarterback, but at the end of the day … "They pay certain positions certain ways. I'm different, man." Source: CBS Sports
He's hurt dawg. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG_f1GzmwHo]Ed Reed's Halftime Speech Miami - YouTube[/ame]
C'mon, Ed You're old enough to know there's no honor among thieves. Being noble is, well...noble but expect some butt hurt at the end of the day.
when did ed reed become a whiny snitch? yes, ed, you're a damn good safety ....... but you're a SAFETY ........ stop putting yourself in the same discussion as tom brady and peyton manning. If they're offering you 5 yrs/$35 mill with $15 mill guaranteed, sign the freaking contract because that's your worth right now in this league.
