Bills set to release Mike Edwards (S) barring trade prior to 4PM ET *UPDATE* RELEASED BY TITANS

[MrEpsYtown]

Let's just try to remember this in FA when we clamor for the bottom of the roster garbage. Dudes like this are dime a dozen players and vet minimum guys. MVS was interesting because of his size and speed, but you're still better off with young guys who cost nothing. Pay the elite players, everyone else is expendable.

Signed with the Titans...

 

I guess playing is more important than winning.

For guys who are career backups, ending up in the wrong situation can tank your career. Being a "fine/meh" player who never dresses can tank your next contract. The Bills signed him because he played well when called upon. He would have a hard time getting a shot next year without getting any film this year.

Why should he have a grudge - team paid for him to work out and when he was injured paid for him to recover and get back in game shape - he passed physical enough to be released.

You're right, all grudges are rational and based in reason. My bad, 😀

Another way to look at this is that they don’t let a players salary determine how much / whether he plays. If he was signed to start but is outplayed by someone else, then he rides the pine. I respect that. I understand that this is financially bad if it happens a lot, but I think it’s healthy in moderation to reinforce the fact that it is a meritocracy and you earn your playing time.

Guess what, it's happened alot and cap wise is financially stupid. Over the last 3 years we've wasted millions of cap money to around 8-9 mid tier players who had little or no impact.  That strategy is not sustainable.

So should they just play guys regardless of whether they're the best players on the team? Or should they just make sure never to miss on a FA?

Every team has this issue.  Everyone misses on draft picks and FA's.  There isn't a perfect team out there.

It is possible that good teams choose to not overpay for these average FA and rather use their UDFAs or lower round draft picks.

Name one team that hasn’t overpaid for an average FA.

I am not saying  they don't.  But they probably do less of it and use their draft picks more.

So you’re just guessing that they do.  I think its a fair statement to say you follow the Bills more closely than other teams so you don’t know their roster really that in depth.

Wow. Either his attitude is horrible or he is injured/out of shape. 

[Buffalo716]

Oh so McDermott might actually know what he's doing 

 

I don't give a flying f that he started for the Chiefs that doesn't mean he's Sean McDermott caliber in the secondary

[MJS]

He will probably go back to the Chiefs now, I suppose. I think it is safe to say that he just isn't very good.

This defense, especially the back part, is supposed to be one of the most complicated defenses in NFL.

He only started for the Chiefs because of injuries. He is a backup.
