After contemplating retirement earlier this offseason and skipping mandatory minicamp, Ed Reed is now refusing to commit to Training Camp, likely in protest of his contract as he heads into a contract year. Reed, 34 in September, is owed 7.2 million this year, but, given his age, the Ravens don’t want to commit that kind of money to him past this season, especially since he does have a recent history of injury problems.

Ray Lewis, among others, have assured all offseason that Reed will be there for the season, which would be his 11^th in the NFL, all with the Ravens. It seems that Reed is just making noise for the sake of making noise, which he does often in the offseason. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t there for the start of Training Camp. The bigger concern for Ravens fans with Reed should be his age, his injury history (missed 10 games from 2009-2010), and the fact that he’s unsigned after the season.
