Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed has battled injuries in recent seasons, prompting him to take a year-by-year approach to his playing career.
After leading the NFL in interceptions in 2010, despite playing in just 10 games, Reed started all 16 games in 2011 and recorded three interceptions to bring his career total to 57. Last month, Reed told general manager Ozzie Newsome that he intends on playing another season, a stance he reiterated while being inducted to the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday night.
"There's a lot of talk out there," Reed said according to the Sun-Sentinel. "I'm not going to say I'm 50-50 because I'm not. I want to play football. But it's something me and my team have been discussing the last couple of weeks.
"I plan on doing it, but depending, it could change."
The Ravens would like to have the 33-year-old Reed back, though perhaps at a salary lower than $7.2 million and a cap number lower than the $8.5 million Reed is scheduled for in 2012, the final year of his current contract.
