Ed Reed will sign a 2 year deal with the Houston Texans. The contract details have not come out yet, but I doubt it is for big money. The Texans need his ball hawking services on their defense and he will definitely improve their defense from the moment he steps onto the field.
Reed is not the player he used to be, but he is still a good ball hawk, 4 interceptions in 2012, and a solid tackler. He also provides veteran leadership which is needed for any team. The Texans defense faltered at the end of the season which ended up being their demise.
I imagine it was very hard to Reed to leave the Ravens, a team that he just won a Super Bowl with, but Houston went after him hard in free agency and won him over.
Baltimore barely resembles the team they were last season after losing Lewis, Boldin, Ellerbe, Kruger and now Reed. They may be a fringe playoff team now and I would not be surprised if they missed the playoffs next season
