Assuming JP had played and produced like Edwards did for those final 5 games. That's a reasonable assumption, given the history of JP's 4 years in NFL. There were good games, there were bad ones. So now entering his contract year, the management would have to make a decision: sign him long term or risk losing him. How much you think JP would ask?
Right or wrong, the Bills management pretty much avoided such a headache. In a way, Edwards bailed them out. Had he completely bombed out in those 5 games, things would be a lot difficult for the management. In my mind, Edwards had a downer in the Eagles' game and two nice ones in the Skins and Dolphins games. And I'm pretty sure to Jauron and Co., the Browns and Giants game do not count due to the almost impossible weather elements. They all brought up the comparable performance of Anderson and Manning in those games. Again let me say this: Eli was not as terrible as you guys think judging by his subsequent performces after that game. People don't just turn around like that in one week. Would it be that bad for a rookie to perform at the same level as Anderson and Eli manning these days?
