Ed Reed said he's "not 100 percent committed right now to playing this year" in an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Asked if the Ravens know he's not committed, Reed said: "I'm sure they will after this interview."
Reed, who turns 34 this fall, has contemplated retirement since the end of the 2008 season because of concerns over a nerve impingement between his neck and shoulder.
His future has become a hot topic recently. He previously said he feels disrespected by his current salary. Reed is scheduled to make $7.2 million in the the final year of a six-year, $44.4 million contract.
