This is pertinent because Reed will be a free agent in 2017. Have to figure Reed deserves $10M per year. He's definitely better than Ertz.

sadness for our cap. the problem is this year felt like the only time he was healthy and i think he still missed games. once he gets paid does he revert to the guy that refuses to play with a stubbed toe?

I do like him, and i'd err on the side of paying him, but his injury history is still a concern.
