I would venture to guess Ed Reed added to our roster would make a positive impact in our secondary. He is a Pro's pro. While older at 35, I think he would still provide us better coverage than either of McMillian or Jennings. Last year Reed had 4 INTs and 15 PDs (McMillian had 1 and 5, Jennings 1 and 2) in helping BAL win the Super Bowl. I believe he would welcome the change in scenery from HOU to GB (for whatever reason, HOU did not seem a good fit), and that this team would be glad to have him. The Packers could provide one last legitimate shot at another SB ring for Reed, and Reed added to our secondary might be able to help them get there. To me, this would be a welcome signing.
Figure, if Rodgers can come back in 4 weeks, and we steal a couple of wins while he is out, we could be poised for a good run. Adding Reed now might be a real shot in the arm for this defense. One of the best pure Safeties ever to play the game. A lot of good stuff could rub off on this defense, and some of our younger players. I bet Tramon Williams would love it.
As doubtful as I am about it becoming a reality, I would love to see GB sign Ed Reed.
Jets are already showing interest… C'mon Ted, steal him away!
Let's put it this way, if we were to release 2 Safeties and add 2 more, I'd be very happy with Reed and Richardson vs. McMillian and Jennings. Those two have played that poorly through 9 games this season, and all of last season. That's 27 games of really poor play by both players. What do we really have to lose? We've got everything to gain by upgrading the play opposite Burnett.
