According to a report out of Baltimore, the Ravens were actually happy to see veteran defender Ed Reed sign with the Houston Texans.

Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun writes, "Ravens coach John Harbaugh wanted Reed back as much as he wants a root canal."

When Reed left, Harbaugh said, "Ed has had a major impact on our organization and our community. He is a great player and a great friend. We will always be thankful for what we accomplished together."

Harbaugh's desire for Reed to leave may have stemmed from a near "mutiny" that was reported during the 2012 season. Reed and Bernard Pollard reportedly led the mutiny, complaining about the coach's practices and his general treatment of players.

Pollard has since been released.
