H2o Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 5 years, $95M, $40.5M guaranteed at signing. That's awful steep. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31856418/sources-fred-warner-san-francisco-49ers-agree-5-year-95-million-extension Quote Warner and the Niners agreed to a five-year, $95 million deal that includes $40.5 million guaranteed, sources told Schefter. The $19 million average annual value surpasses the previous high of $18 million per year held by Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner.
GETTOTHE50 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Edmunds does have two pro bowls (I think) on his resume, but let’s be honest. We’d all choose Warner over Edmunds. With that being said, Edmunds will probably get around the same amount. 1
Blainorama5 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 I like Edmunds, but wow I have a hard time believing he's worth THAT much! 1 1

He is above average athletic freak that makes mistakes and was injured last year. two pro-bowls already, I think if we sign him now, it won't be warner money but close. Warner is a game changing type MLB, Edmunds is not there yet, but with a break out year could easily be. 1

In this case, I think we would be smart to see how this year plays out first. 1

VaMilBill Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 I think if that’s what Edmunds demands, he is most likely walking in FA next season. 4 2
Wizard Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Warner is a better tackler, pass rusher, and probably a top 7 linebacker in football. Offer Edmunds 5 years, 75 million, with $30 million guaranteed. That is a reasonable offer. Wagner and Warner are better and Edmunds will still be in his 20's after this contract. Fair on both sides.

Virgil Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 I've been on record as not a big Edmunds fan, so this would be a big no from me. Unless I start seeing actual game changing production and better coverage in the middle of the field, I'd be more inclined to trade him after this season than let him walk for free nor give him a big contract. 5 2 2
MJS Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Why would Edmunds be paid as the top linebacker in the league? He and his agent would not be expecting that kind of money. 1

Frat-Train Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 I don’t expect the Bills to pony up, to be honest. Just my opinion though.
Rc2catch Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 We should see Warner’s value this season with Saleh gone. Is he a product of a pretty fantastic defensive line? Scheme? Despite all the injuries they had the D line was still quite good. I think Edmunds might look quite good in their defense as well. I find it hard to compare Edmunds to others because our defense is unlike most in the league. We are rarely in an attack mode and play conservative. I think we’d still be pretty disappointed if we had a Devin white or Wagner in the middle here and no pass rush. This defense is trash unless you can get pressure with 4, if you can’t only the elite coverage guys can survive. I have high hopes our vets and rookies can dominate the D line like Schwartz D line did years back. If we see that I think we see Edmunds game go to a whole new level. 1 1

White is cut from a different cloth. I told everyone when he was coming out of LSU that he was Ray Lewis 2.0 because that was who he reminded me of watching him play. His instincts at the position are 2nd to none, he takes great angles, and is just as athletic as Edmunds, if not more so. 1
Royale with Cheese Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 I doubt Beane will pay that much for him. When you're a good team, you have to let good players go.

Hey I think he’s a great player too, but he misses angles and tackles similar to Edmunds. When you play that fast everyone misses. But he’s also got David teaching him and playing next to him on top of having a dominant pass rush 1
