With Reed one day away from his likely election to the Hall of Fame, we’re bringing back this March 2013 blog post on “The most Ed Reed-est plays in Ed Reed history.”

The Jets are a team built to play with a lead, so it's not surprising that their game against the Bills turned into a total Dumpster fire when they fell behind by 20 points in the first half.

The Ed Reed era is officially over in Baltimore. So let's look back at some of those memorable plays when the bearded ballhawk meandered his way toward the end zone. Sometimes he got there. Other times he pitched to a teammate or to the turf. But some of his returns were among the most thrilling plays in Ravens history.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti talks about winning the Super Bowl, making tough offseason decisions and the future for his football team.

Ravens free agent safety Ed Reed has left the Houston Texans' offices without agreeing to terms as he completed his two-day visit, according to league sources with knowledge of the deal.

Ravens expected to exercise patience when free agency opens Tuesday. With about $11 million of cap space, team will likely try to retain Grubbs, others before trying to make a splash.

Baltimore is blessed with a bunch of talented sports bloggers who bring their unique perspective to the conversation. I often link up to these local writers in my morning Coffee Companion posts, but instead of just exchanging anti-social links with them, I have decided to be slightly less anti-social by exchanging emails with them in a somewhat regular feature called Blogger on Blogger.

Until Thursday, the competition to replace Dawan Landry, a free agent who left for Jacksonville, was between Tom Zbikowski and Haruki Nakamura, both of whom arrived in the 2008 draft. Then the Ravens signed free agent Bernard Pollard to a two-year contract and it became a three-man competition.

Today could be the day that the lockout clouds clear and NFL sunshine beams down on Baltimore and the rest of this football-crazed nation.
