Ed Reed signs with Jets

Well looks like the should panthers sign threads should die now... Does this move improve the Jets enough to say their defense is as good as ours? they have a front 7 that is near level as ours and they now have a hall of fame safety, who is being reunited with a former teammate of 5 years and friend, Dawan Landry. They could prove to be a great tandem once again. I think this move puts them in the playoffs for sure.

How does signing a guy who's been benched several times by a struggling D and eventually released going to help a D?

 

However, no, I don't think he helps them much at all, if any.

Ed Reed is Ed Reed either way. Hall of Famer, he's going to make plays when it's needed. I would've said New England was a better fit for him though.

I didn't say they couldn't make the playoffs, but Old Man Reed won't be the reason they do. 

he can surely help the cause... this move is low risk with potential high reward for the jets, and if he doesn't play good then it doesn't hurt them they just go back to their original safety group. if they make it to playoffs I expect ed reed to be making plays like usual when it matters most.

    • Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.
    • Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*
    • Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
