Unlike Bates he actually plays, plus provides great depth. Seems like nice value, no?

We are not talking huge numbers here. But if we are cap strapped and counting pennies to sign at other positions then I let Edwards walk and use a rookie or vet minimum guy be our OL depth and extra OL. But at most its like a $1.3M overpay.

I was about to say, how is it an overpay?

For all intents and purposes it's a 1 year deal. $2.3M cap hit in 2024, $875K dead cap hit in 2025.

 

A bit of an overpay but I'm fine with it.

 

I see both sides. On the surface, it is slightly rich for a backup IOL. Ideally, those guys are young guys making nothing. If they held on to Jack Anderson or Nick Broeker, they would be minimum guys who are fine as depth. At the same time, I think Edwards is a premier backup because he could easily start for a lot of teams, has a ton of experience, and is still young. He also got a decent amount of burn as that heavy H back. You also have two starting OL in Torrence and Brown who make nothing, so it makes sense to spend some money on a guy who was reliable last year and premier depth.

Yeah. It’s not an overpay at all for a depth piece like Edwards. Yeah they could’ve gone with a minimum salary guy or rookie but now you’re sacrificing experience and/or talent.

What's the story with this guy?  Just saw that he played offensive snaps in 15 regular season games and both postseason games but never more than 37% of them.  Why was there a rotation at Guard?  I've never heard of that.

It's common to spell out players if they need a rest. Also for use in Jumbo packages.

Ideally the backup swing guard is on a day 3 rookie contract. But I'm okay with it. Edwards is a capable spot starter.

As of today, yes. Let's see by September.

Really?  I thought they had Alec Anderson play C in preseason and that he would now be Morse’s backup.

 

Time will tell.

Explains the Bates move - solid signing and good for the Bills to pick up draft capital.  The o-line has been a bright spot.

 

I dont think its a coincidence that we saw improvement on the OL in year 2 of Kromers return

He is the prefered back up over Bates imo.  Center will be addressed at some point in the draft I assume.  Edwards is a starting caliber guard.  Not Mcgovern or Torrence but solid.

He came in when the Bills went with a big package as, basically, a big blocking tight end.
