The hits just keep coming for the Baltimore Ravens as another key player is departing, but this time he’s headed to Houston Texans.
After losing safety Glover Quin the Texans were in desperate need to find a suitable replacement. Not a bad choice, signing the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year and the NFL leader in interceptions in the last three years, Ed Reed.
According to IBNSportsWrap, the deal will become official tonight. Reed left conversations stating “They were amazing.” per ProFootballTalk.com

Odds were Reed was going to sign with the 49ers, Texans, or Patriots after he signed the same agent that represented Jim Harbaugh. Reports continued he may sign with the New England Patriots after he stated on NFLAM that New England would have won two more Super Bowls with him on the roster.
For the first time in their history, the Baltimore Ravens will be without Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.
Reed expected to remain a Raven. he told the NFL Network’s Gregg Rosenthal a week ago. ” I couldn’t see me anywhere else right now. If it happens, I’m a football player. I can adapt to any situation.”
Ed Reed was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens 24th overall in the 2002 NFL Draft and has played his entire professional career for the Ravens.
