Reed will turn 29 during the 2025 season, which is a bit older at the cornerback position. Reed didn't get the top contract among free-agent cornerbacks — Carlton Davis III left the Lions for a three-year, $60 million deal with the New England Patriots according to reports — but it's still a good payday for a productive player.
