New York Jets

[edit]

Reed was signed by the New York Jets on November 14, 2013, after clearing waivers.[156] The move reunited Reed with head coach Rex Ryan, whom he played for when Ryan was the defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens.[156] Reed played his first game as a Jet on November 17, 2013, against the Buffalo Bills.[157]

In Week 14, he recorded his first interception of the 2013 season against Oakland Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin.[158] In Weeks 16 and 17, against the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins respectively, Reed had an interception late in each game's fourth quarter, to preserve the Jets' win. The interceptions helped the Jets close the season with two straight wins to finish with an 8–8 record, which played a major part in Rex Ryan keeping his job as head coach.[159][160][161] With the Jets, Reed played in seven games, of which he started five, with 22 tackles, four passes defended, and three interceptions. Overall, in 2013, combined with both teams he played for, Reed played 14 games, of which he started 10, with 42 total tackles, four passes defended, and three interceptions.[162]

Retirement

[edit]

Reed announced his retirement on May 6, 2015, signing a one day contract on May 7 to retire as a Baltimore Raven. [163]

Reed was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on February 2, 2019, his first year of eligibility. He was the third homegrown Raven who achieved the sport's highest career recognition.[164] He was named to the NFL 100 All Time Team.[165]

Coaching career

[edit]

On January 13, 2016, Reed was hired as an assistant defensive backs coach for the Buffalo Bills.[173] This reunited him with coach Rex Ryan for the third time, after stints together with the Ravens and Jets during Reed's playing career. After serving the 2016 season in Buffalo, Reed was not retained by new coach Sean McDermott after Ryan's dismissal.[174]

On December 27, 2022, Reed was hired as the new head coach of the Bethune–Cookman Wildcats football team.[175] Before he officially becoming the coach of the team, Bethune–Cookman declined to ratify the contract on January 21, 2023, which vacated the football team's head coaching position.[176] Prior to his dismissal, Reed recorded a live stream on which he vociferously criticized the condition of the school's athletic facilities.[177][178][179] In the wake of this decision, Reed continued his criticism of the university, saying "I'm not withdrawing my name as they say. They don't want me here. They do not want me because I tell the truth."[180]

Administrative career

[edit]

On January 30, 2020, Reed was hired by the University of Miami as the football team's chief of staff, an advisory role to head coach Manny Diaz.[181] Following the departure of Diaz, Reed stayed in his role under new head coach Mario Cristobal.[182]
