    Five Teams put in claim for Edwards



    Now if there's a decent interest in the man, why couldn't we trade him for anything? A 6th rounder, 7th rounder? Conditional? If the Ravens can sign Housh and then a day later trade Mark Clayton for a 7th, why can't Buddy Nix get something! Worst case scenario? Trent is our 3rd string QB, Levi is still on the streets. I don't understand why not get something for him cause there IS INTEREST.

    Buddy Nix trade watch: 9 months, 0 trades.

    Just because people put a waiver claim in, doesn't mean they had interest when he was available for trade. The difference between giving something up and claiming him for free are two different things.

      I'm just speculating here, since I don't know much about how trades and NFL contracts work, but if we traded him would the receiving team have to take the current contract he had with the Bills? If so, maybe it was too much for any team to take. Now they can just sign him for the minimum.

        If they pick him up on waivers they still have to pay him the same contract that he had with us.

          But they aren't giving up anything in return.

          It's two very different situations.

            I'd assume if 5 teams legitimately have interest in him, the team at the bottom or 2nd to bottom of the waiver process would be willing to give up a 7th round pick to make sure they procure the players services.

            Obviously we weren't trading him to the Jets for anything.

              The article is all speculation. It's got a freaking question mark in the title.

              It lists the Jets as one of the 5 teams and then states that the team is merely discussing the idea - old, speculative article.

                  Well, yeah. But, FIVE TEAMS put in a claim. If one was willing to trade for him, they don't have to "contend" with 4 others.

                    We picked up Kraig Urbik on waivers, and reportedly several other teams had claims on him. Doesn't mean we were willing to give up a pick for him.

                      We didn't have to in that case...we had waiver priority.

                          Not if a team like the Seahawks claimed him.

                          And obviously the teams that didn't have waiver priority didn't try to trade for him either.

                            But what's do we lose by letting Trent rot as our 3rd string QB until a team offers us something?

                            I don't think we want Levi so bad, because A) we didn't even sign him to the practice squad and B) he's still a FA, meaning no one wants him.

                            If we get nothing by the trade deadline then we can cut him.

                            It seems to me like this was a hasty move by Nix to save the almighty dollar. Just like the Schobel release. What a shock.

                              What if Trent was being a dick behind closed doors and they wanted him out for the betterment of the team?
