crabbypatty Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Jordan Reed was a baller for this team, it's too bad his body betrayed him. That 2015 playoff game he was the only guy that showed up and tried to will his way to a win. Everyone else shrunk on that stage, Reed shined. He will be missed, one of my favorite redskins. I just wish he could have stayed healthy, for his own sake and for ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'm curious if anyone has ever had as many (or more) reported concussions than Reed, then gone on to play in the NFL for a significant period after that, and how their health held up in the long run. Of course, the key word is "reported" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeken24 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 He was scheduled to visit with Seattle (not sure if he actually made the visit with the COVID stuff going on). Did he get picked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Its honestly kinda shocking that he's still available. The NFL doesn't have a heart, so someone will sign him unfortunately. I wonder if he has any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to take anything the NFL says seriously, especially if they say or do nothing if he gets signed again. I don't want him back, I don't want that on my conscious. Some of y'all talking mad trash about how he can't stay healthy better not come back and say something stupid like "veterans minimum plus incentives" because we don't have a TE. We still wouldn't have a TE even if he signed, Wed had a big WR that can't stay healthy. Let it go, move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Kev Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I really hope that he calls it a day as far as his playing career is concerned. I'm no doctor, but IMO he's had too many concussions already and any more could seriously affect his quality of life. It would sadden me to see him playing again, especially for another team. Imagine if he signed for the cowboys, giants or iggles!?! Uggh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically, with expanded rosters coming, is Reed a candidate to be signed and used in special situations only, like red zone and 3rd downs, to reduce the chance of further injuries? Would a team carry someone like that? I doubt it but we have few good options at TE and likely none are better than a healthy Jordan Reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins Reparations Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I have almost finished reading Bill Romanowski’s autobiography and he discusses the concussions he has experienced throughout his career. He states players prefer not to report concussion symptoms for fear of losing their jobs which I can understand but as much as I hate to admit it concussions are a part of the game and I don’t think that will ever change. I commend Jordan Reed for protecting himself and sitting out games due to being concussed but it seems to me like he may be one hit away from losing way more than he will ever gain. Fun Fact: Bill Romanowski almost signed with the Washington Redskins after his rookie contract expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a team carry someone like that? I doubt it but we have few good options at TE and likely none are better than a healthy Jordan Reed. I've said before that I think that a healthy Jordan Reed could have been one of the all-time best receiving TE's, so there's definitely none better on the team right now. A 3rd down TE may be a good idea, but I wouldn't want Reed to fill that role. I really like the guy and would fear for his safety every time he took the field. Jordan obviously knows his own body better than anyone, and maybe he's not more prone to concussions than any other player. Maybe he's just been extremely unlucky with the hits that he's taken and maybe he could come back and go on to have an injury-free, all-pro career. Maybe Shmaybe. Give it up, Jordan.

Not with the CV affecting in-person meetings, really limiting a team's ability to fully evaluate a player with a serious injury history.

Malapropismic Depository Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm actually more surprised that Chris Thompson hasn't been signed, than I am about Jordan Reed, Although the CV impact on the league could be playing a major role in that non-development, just as I was saying it did with Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very wise of the Skins to hold on to as much cap money as they can to possibly scoop up guys who aren't signed who might lower their demands the longer they go unsigned. I could see some GM's coming out of these unchartered waters looking much smarter than others just by being patient and pouncing when the time is right.

He's in a tough spot, in that teams want him for his talent, but they are not going to bring in a guy and then design around him with the possibility he might not play a snap. I think if he gets signed, it's probably during training camp when somebody's starter gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 DHall rates Reed as his 5th best teammate throughout his entire career. Says he'd take a healthy Reed over Gronk, or just about any other Tight End. Also hopes that he does return. https://www.nfl.com/news/michael-vick-djax-among-deangelo-hall-s-top-five-teammates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
