Ed Reed not thinking about retirement

Ed Reed has said that he is not thinking about retiring, despite coming towards the end of his contract with the Baltimore Ravens.

The 34-year-old has yet to sign a new deal with the AFC North side.

The safety told the Baltimore Sun: "I'm not thinking about that right now. I'm football. I'm completing this year, and like I always tell you, I assess it every year. I assess myself every year physically. A guy in football, if he doesn't do that, something's wrong.

"So I'm not worried about that. I'm not focused on that. Right now, it's playoffs, it's Denver, it's football."

The Ravens face the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday.
