Ed Reed Reports For Training Camp

Garrett Downing at the official Ravens website reported that Reed has arrived for camp on Wednesday to prepare for his 11th season with the team. Reed has spoken several times this offseason about wanting to play for several more years, but has also publicly discussed thinking about retirement.

If he is able to prove throughout the rest of 2012 that he still has plenty left in the tank, he may end up getting a multi-year extension from the club that will allow him to end his career with the Ravens.

Reed turns 34 in September, putting him firmly in the twilight of his career. Teams could be leery of signing a player who turns 35 at the start of the 2013 season, setting up the potential for the Ravens to give him a smaller deal.

Reed had three interceptions and 60 total tackles during the regular season in 2011.

Reed will turn 34 in September and has hinted at retirement over the last two seasons. He continues to play at an All-Pro level, though the Ravens are naturally wary about signing him to a multi-year deal, as Reed has struggled with injuries, notably in his neck and shoulder, in recent years.
