Number 1: Ed Reed Rants
Ravens Safety Ed Reed continues to be unhappy with the Ravens and his lack of a new deal, and recently said to Jason LaCanfora that the Raven's "won't get me cheap" and refused to give a definitive answer on whether or not he will hold out and refuse to go to Training Camp next week. Reed stands to make 7.2 million dollars this year.
