Jordan Reed Gets Contract Exetension

[MTK]

Reed's ability to produce has never been in question, just his ability to stay on the field which he did last year. Big difference between giving a TE big money and a QB too. His prove it year was last year.

5 concussions in the past 5 years. I think 4 have been documented, 1 highly suspected but not reported.

I love what Reed brings but 22 mil guaranteed is a big investment for his injury history.

I think one skill Reed learn which contributed highly to his "breakout" was how to properly protect his body. Knowing when to fight for extra yards, when to go down, when to go out of bounds, knowing when to put your head down, etc....this is part of that maturing process. I noticed he is playing smarter, more efficient. Hopefully the nagging injuries is behind the kid.

I think locking up Reed gets him at a cheaper price for now. Happy with the signing.

I am guessing that some or maybe even a lot of the guaranted money is roster bonus guarantees. But either way, we wanted to keep him on the team and they got it done. It's gotta be a good thing.

I like it the deal, I would have done it myself bc hes an amazing talent. to use a baseball term, he is +2 WAR imo. But I feel like this is uncharted waters. Long term deal w approx 50% guaranteed for a 25 year old guy with as many concussions as Wes Welker ... it scares me. His long term health and cap ramifications.

Safety wise, I actively worry about him during games like I did w RG3.

There's risk with everyone, it's football folks. If we don't pay him someone else does next year.
