Punching Bag Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Ed Reed: It would take $300 million for me to play again in the NFL http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ed-reed-it-would-take-300-million-for-me-to-play-again-in-the-nfl/ http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/25814/bills-ed-reed-would-take-300-million-to-get-me-out-of-retirement Now Reed is defensive assistant on Rex Ryan's staff in Buffalo. In the spring, Ryan joked that he wanted Reed to stay in shape in case he needed him to play. On Thursday, the 37-year-old Reed offered specifics about what it would take to get him back in pads and on the field. "I got two or three years in me," Reed said, via ESPN.com. "But I'm not giving it to the league. I already decided not to. Things could happen, but I don't think there's enough finances to get me in those cleats anymore, man. They tend not to want to play the vets." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Jesus. Why even put a price tag on yourself. Now Cleveland is going to take away one of our coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I find Ed Reed hilarious. too honest and lovable. he will change because he might have to, aspiring to Coach. But right now he is in between. Just watch how he moves his head when the media asks questions. he is full on defending the end zone. And then when he knows he has kept the guy in front of him and cannot get past him, he relaxes and plays around. like a cat with a mouse toy, without being judgemental. he just knows who he is. What a great person. A guy i would love to sit on the corner sip beer and talk about the folks walking by. and a guy i might trust to walk point for me. Don't know him personally but that is the vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 He could probably be a HC some day if he wanted. Im not sure he's in it for the long haul though. Glad we got him though. I have a feeling our secondary, especially the safeties, will be much improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But right now he is in between. ??? Ed Reed isn't "in between" he is the assistant defensive backs coach of the Buffalo Bills. Not an intern. Not an "interim coach", but a full-fledged coach.

Not an "interim coach", but a full-fledged coach. I think the poster was trying to say was where Reed is at within the coaching hierarchy he isnt very accountable for what he says/does. Thats just my take. Edited September 10, 2016 by billsfan_34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This is much ado about nothing. Rex paid him a nice compliment, but that was it. Let's hope his teaching sinks in on communication And film studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I find Ed Reed hilarious. too honest and lovable. he will change because he might have to, aspiring to Coach.

Don't know him personally but that is the vibe. I really enjoyed his presser on the bills ap too. 100% comfortable in his own skin. ??? Ed Reed isn't "in between" he is the assistant defensive backs coach of the Buffalo Bills. Not an intern. Not an "interim coach", but a full-fledged coach. Ed references "in between" in his presser. I'm guessing that is where the statement came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Has there ever been a coach who was signed and activated mid-season? It would not be the craziest thing ever if the Bills got thin at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacarri and coke Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Gotcha. My bad, then.Yeah on wgr yesterday someone said something about him still seeing things from a players standpoint because he played so recently.They said something to the effect of him seeing it from a players point of view and a coach so he is sort of in between.I personally think his hiring will pay dividends for just this reason.The players respect the hell out of this and will listen and learn because of it.

Not an "interim coach", but a full-fledged coach. No i get that. You watched the presser right ? Watch it again. I have watched every one. read each word I could as I am a big fan of him. I feel he still wants to go hit someone. So i was not speaking literally but figuratively. and he said he is still transitioning mentally. Glad as heck to have him !! I think the poster was trying to say was where Reed is at within the coaching hierarchy he isnt very accountable for what he says/does. Thats just my take. Part of it . Thanks I really enjoyed his presser on the bills ap too. 100% comfortable in his own skin. Ed references "in between" in his presser. I'm guessing that is where the statement came from. Yes and yes Gotcha. My bad, then.
