Now let's look out for his cryptic post.

Not sure what would be cryptic (yes, I know this is mostly a Diggs joke). 

 

He came in and was hurt throughout OTA and training camp so never go the reps and apparently didn't do enough to beat out Hamlin.

 

End of story.

They're announcing this just to bait the Chiefs into trading a 7th for him.

Just what we need another safety with a grudge against his former team. Maybe he can gift us a late unnecessary roughness penalty in the playoffs!

I hope it’s because they are finalizing a move and need a roster spot.  But either way Mike Edwards wanted a role.  Not a better safety than either starters.  Not a better slot the Lewis. He wants out im cool.  Cine might get a look and a jersey on game days for teams

Really don’t understand what Beane and McDermott were thinking by signing Edwards and Samuel. Both productive players previously but enigma’s in Buffalo while hurting the cap space with minimal return.

 

Both were positions of need and signed prior to the draft.  You never know how the draft is going to work out and Hamlin had not won the job yet.  At the time of signing both, each were expected to be starters.

He is a malcontent depth player. Move on. There are a hundred guys who can fill that role.

Plus, it tells other potential free agents that the Bills will treat them fairly.

I don’t like this at all. I thought Edwards and Bishop should have been the safeties with Rapp as the 3rd guy. Rapp has been fine though. Safety is a weakness and they have a guy that has been a good NFL player that they never gave a chance to. This is Poona Ford 2.0. Edwards should have gotten a chance.

 

Edwards had a chance but was repeatedly injured and unable to beat out a rookie who has barely played.  

Interesting that so many Bills fans blame coaches first for players issues.

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.

So he went from playing essentially 100% of the snaps (except game he was hurt) in the playoffs for the super bowl winners last year to not getting on the field over Hamlin...

Kind of-  but in reality, he went from being a dime back playing around 30% of the snaps in KC to playing 90-100% in the playoffs due to injury to not being able to beat out damar Hamlin. 

 

He couldn’t win the job…..period

We have no idea what the situation is. It feels like Poona Ford all over again. He was a good player. The Bills signed him. He was largely inactive. They let him go and he is immediately a starter again. None of us know the situation other than the Bills didn’t like either player after they got to Buffalo.
