MOBILE, Ala. -- Baltimore Ravens free safety Ed Reed continues to contemplate retirement, but a league source and several teammates have told National Football Post that the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year is definitely expected to play football this year.
It would take a major setback with his nerve impingement in his neck and ligament tears in his hip and groin for Reed to stop playing football.
The All-Pro defensive back didn't change his public stance during an interview with Sirius Radio. Reed said following a playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts that he was contemplating retirement.
"I'm feeling good," Reed said. "It’s still early in the offseason. The comment was made right after the game because that’s the truth of the matter. I’ve got some things I got to take care of before I continue to go there. But the comment hasn’t changed, it still is what it is.
“I mean, for most people in the world, 50/50 is just that. If you’re able to go, you know, most people who know me, when I’ve been hurt over the years, and lately, these last two years, a lot. But if I can walk and talk, I’m out there communicating and making plays.”
So, count him in for 2010 barring an unexpected change.

i disagree with Frank Coyle about the Eagles selecting a linebacker with the 1st pick in the 2010 draft. Because of the uncertainty of Shawn Andrew's back situation, i predict they will go guard possibly center for their 1st pick.
