Sen. John Blutarsky Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 We brought in James Hall who had a good year with Jauron. Dickie knows Edwards pretty well too. Anyone else think he's worth a look-see? I was more interested in him than in Kevin Jones frankly.

Anyone else think he's worth a look-see? I was more interested in him than in Kevin Jones frankly. Def worth a look. But if he is looking for the same or better contract than he was just cut for then his on field production does not live up to that standard. Steve
Lothar Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 chris brown pretty much ruled it out as a bills' option - I'm thinkin' those "people in Detroit" probably reside in Buffalo now: DON'T THINK DE EDWARDS IS AN OPTION: The release of Kalimba Edwards got my attention yesterday, but after looking at him further and talking to some people in the know, I don't anticipate him being a free agent target of the Bills. Talking to some people in Detroit he's a great practice player, but it never translates to the game field. He's had a myriad of injuries in his career and lost his starting job to Jared DeVries, a player that produces even though he's not as physically gifted as Edwards. An NFL head coach once told me that being available on Sundays is one of the most important qualities needed to have a long career in the NFL. Granted a lot of that is luck, but a guy with knee, ankle, foot, head and groin injuries in his six-year career is viewed as a risk. Even in a situational pass rushing role I don't think Edwards comes off as anything impressive, since his best sack season was 6.5

Steve I agree with that but I'm sure that's the story he'll get from the rest of the league too. he might be a guy you can get cheap on a one year deal or 3 year deal that's laden with performance incentives and roster bonuses that would increase his ability to become a UFA again if he plays well.

He's possibly cheaper but the rest of the arguement really doens't work for me. He's the 4th DE, we need what 10-15 good snaps a game?

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 except that DJ is familiar with both guys and know their work habits and their potential impact on a young club. true but they just brought in Will (Peterson) James too who has never been looked at as a high character guy. I'm just sayin'...the consistency isn't there so I smell at least a bit of BS.

Agreed, if he's brought in it would be as a backup initially and if he's willing to take backup money then sign him. Since Jauron is a players coach and his team seems to like him Edwards may want to come here.
