All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Thats pretty good money for a guy whose either hurt or on the bench.
Well put Devin!
I'd be shocked to see Edwards end up getting a better deal than that elsewhere. Given his injury history, I don't know where he expects to find a team that will give him a big signing bonus or invest a lot of long-term money in him. While he has shown flashes of potential, if I were dealing with him, I'd want to structure the contract with a lot of incentives rather than up-front money.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.
4 years, $8 million? That is far too much for a player who has not shown much and has been injured good portion of the time. There are better players who are available as UDFAs than him - Pat Williams was. Maybe if it was a back loaded contract where he would only be shown the money when he shows he is worth it but otherwise no.
I had hoped edwards would pan out and do a decent job last year, but he does seem to be too injury prone. With that in mind I think to offer him any more money would just be silly, if he won't take what he was already offered than he can go warm someone else's bench
If that's true...no big loss...he's never shown he was anything more than a backup. I don't think our run defense would've been much better than it was had he played in 2005

Agreed, If I remember correctly, before we had Sam Adams, Edwards used to start and I don't remember him being that great. Would he be a nice backup, yes. Would he be a good starter, I think not!
