Edwards Turned Down Bills Offer

[patmoran2006]

I have it on good word that Marv Levy offered a contract to Ron Edwards that was not accepted believed to be for around 4 years and $8 million.

Although things always change, don't count on Edwards returning to Buffalo.

[RedEyE]

If that's the case, see ya!

[gr8slayer]

I wouldnt want to come back either. We havent done anything to make our team better et.

[Night Train]

Edwards is soft. Injury prone and gets moved out with ease for a 320 lb DT.

I'd never want him back.

[TigerJ]

Maybe he told Edwards to make money the old fashioned way - earn it.

[Devin]

If that is the case BYE!

Thats pretty good money for a guy whose either hurt or on the bench.

Slayer, do you think that DT Tripplet was a bad signing? I dont think Royal was any big deal but Tripplet was solid and should help, dont you think?

[Devin]

I liked the Triplett signing, he fits our system well and is already familiar with it.

[Tatonka]

so, who is your "good word" pat?

brian H?

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.

[G. Host]

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 am glad that he did not sign that contract.

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

[The_Philster]

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

[Nighthawk]

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!

Bye, bye. :bigwave:

[ICE74129]

Agreed. Pat and Edwards were the DT's for a year before Sam got here. We had to go get sam because Edwards did nothing while starting.

[Michael82]

If he turned down that offer....If Mr IR list turned down that offer, then **** him. What an ass. We don't need him if he thinks he is worth more. :ill:

[BillsFever21]

The worse thing to imagine about this is Marv would even offer him that kind of a contract.

We have a master negotiator on our hands here.

Big Ted is signed by Cleveland.
