Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports that Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed could 'definitely' see himself playing for Bill Belichick. "Yeah, oh yeah, man, I could definitely play for coach Belichick," Reed responded. "He is a great coach. I'm sure he can help me to expand my football knowledge even more as a player and as a coach, so if I'm ever able to be around him, just like I was at the Pro Bowl, it's huge."

"A third said he thought Armstead would have been a third or fourth round pick." One general manager also said Armstead will compete for a starting job in the NFL 'immediately.'
