The Ravens' tight salary-cap situation could preclude them from making Reed a major negotiating priority. Plus, the 34-year's old age, durability concerns and decline in range could work against a reunion with the Ravens.

That's from a Ravens beat writer and quite possibly from an internal Ravens source with the team who Reed's had a HOF career with. And even though the Ravens are in a "tight salary-cap situation" as it applies to Reed, they're in the market for Dumerville.

The Ravens would like to have Reed back, but not for $6 million annually and definitely not for the $7.2 million he made in the final year of his expired six-year, $44.5 million contract.
As for the Texans, a league source with knowledge of the situation characterized the Texans' initial three-year offer as low enough that a fast deal was unrealistic.

Sounds like the right thing to do to me.
