Where are you guys getting these numbers from? Falco below pretty much has it. Here's the breakdown for the remaining 7 weeks: $412,000 salary $437,500 (game day roster bonus: $62,500 per game x 7 games) $849,500 Total $849,500 div. by 7 games = $121,357 per game. fwiw, $121,357 per game would translate to $1.9 million over 16 games.
I think he clears because nobody wants the salary. Ravens have moved on... Jets and Pats might be top 2 landing spots for him. He loves Rex and he and BB have had a mutual admiration for a long time.
When I commented, the link I read at the time said it would cost a team 400k to sign him. Obviously that was incorrect. Either way i'd probably bring him in. Jets have 1 safety in Landry who has played well and Allen who has high upside but overall is still a little overmatched. Jarrett is decent in coverage but has a minimal role. It wouldn't hurt to take a shot on Reed.
Well I think it's time to move this back to the jets forum... According to TheJetsBlog, Ryan told the media that he and John Idzik had a discussion about Ed Reed
Rex was quoted as saying he wanted Ed Reed but it was just talk. But really here is a guy even if his coverage skills aren't that good anymore who knows how to be in the right place at the right time and this team needs a guy like this. A vet presence who can pick off passes when the D line puts on pressure. Turnover ratio on the Jets is not good and Reed in a better environment than Houston could thrive here with this team. Love to sign him.
We all knew this would happen. I'm just hoping we sign him to a good deal. We need a ball hawk in the backfield with the offenses in today's NFL.
I think it's time to move this to the Jets section, Rex and Idzik clearly are talking about it - look at the news-feed on this website
