Ed Reed has been released

Ed Reed the Texans most prized offseason free agent acquisition is gone as quickly as he came. Reed today was released by the team just days after making the comment of being outplayed and outcoached. Reed recently was also benched in favor of Shiloh Keo, who has more years in the system and this season Keo has made more plays then Reed.

Reed signed with the team in the offseason and then after signing it was learned Reed would need hip surgery. He sat out of all training camp and did not play until week 3 when the team played his former team the Ravens. Reed on the year had 14 tackles 0 impact and plays were made against Reed left and right. Reed today sent out a tweet thanking the Texans (for the money I am sure) and the Houston (jokingly I am sure) and now the team will move with how the season started, Shiloh Keo at the Safety position.

Thanks to the Texans! And the City of Htown!

Today I caught up with Texans Tight End Owen Daniels and while he mentioned he was on track to return (3 more games). Daniels also mentioned he was stunned by the news of Ed Reed being released “you don’t see a lot of guys released at this point in the season especially a guy like him”. The question now is can Ed still find work, lots of teams are looking but the Ed Reed we all once knew is long gone.
