Chiefs free-agent S Mike Edwards visiting Bills - Buffalo Rumblings

The 5’10”, 210-pound Edwards entered the NFL as a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019. Last offseason, Edwards signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, contributing to the team’s defensive backfield as part of the Chiefs’ championship season.

Bills sign S Mike Edwards to one-year deal - NBC Sports

Buffalo announced on Wednesday that the team has signed safety Mike Edwards to a one-year deal.
Edwards, 27, appeared in 17 games with five starts in 2023. He was on the field for 57 percent of defensive snaps and 28 percent of special teams snaps. He finished with an interception, five passes defensed, and two fumble recoveries.
Edwards was a Buccaneers third-round pick in 2019 and played his first four seasons with the franchise.

We need safeties. He's a body. He can join the competition.

Signed!

Another great move by Brandon Beane.

A starting level safety who is only 27 years old who happens to be a two time Super Bowl winner.

He had 57% of defensive snaps (the most of the 3 FS on the Chiefs) and 28% of special teams snaps last year with KC.

During the 2021 SB winning season in Tampa Bay he was #2 (46.5%) in FS snap counts (behind only Antoine Winfield Jr - 76.77%) and in 2022 he had the most snaps (72.61%) over #2 Antoine Winfield Jr (68.15%...who missed some game due to injury).

Sure looks like an experienced vet that can compete and possibly win a starting job in Buffalo.

Very nice signing imho....reminds me atm of when they signed Hyde in that Edwards has played fs, ss, and slot corner with flexibility. To me that means when he looks at the db coverage in front of him he'll know it on a different level. Hungry to start, db friendly defense, starting fs without more injury catastrophe.

No gripes whatever.

Good move, likely economical too

I'm good with it. Other than Elam and the annual over-the-hill-too-old-to-play corners he brings in every training camp Beane seems to have a good feel for d-backs.

Very good signing! And we all know how well McDermott is with Safeties. Anyone else feel a lot better about our 2 starters now? Rapp and Edwards should do just fine.

Just mho, but I think the over the hill signings have a lot to do with McDermott and his yesterday vet fetish because tomorrow is scary if a guy was just drafted and we won't play anyone unless we have to because omg we want to get somewhere and we can't do this because my collar is too tight and I can't breathe.

Holy cow! Hi Mike!

BBB killin it

Solid signing, gives flexibility in the draft. They still need to replace Morse

Hey Mikey

Hey! Long time no see. How ya been?

[Michael82]

Holy cow! Hi Mike!

Hey man!

[Forward_Lateral]

Mikey!

You didn't sleep in!

If Edwards is starting, then the S position is in BIG trouble. The guy has started 28 of his 75 NFL games. He's on his 3rd team in 3 years. He's a spot starter at best.
