Ed Reed made some Ravens fans nervous today when he said he was “not 100% committed” to playing in 2012. However, it appears there’s nothing to fear. Reed seems to always do something like this around this time every offseason and he clarified his comments later in the day by saying that his goal is to “play football in the years to come” and that this is just the time of year when players “think through things.”

Ravens fans biggest concerns with Reed should be his age, 34 in September, his health, last year was the first year in 3 years where he played all 16 games, and his impending free agency after the season. The Ravens have not extended Reed beyond the 2012 season and while there have been some talks in the past, I expect Reed to “think through things” a little bit more seriously next offseason when he’s a free agent.
