and I think they should put this in the signings thread since he has already been drafted.

LOL-heard it on radio so didn't have a link for lazy asses who need pics. --and should have posted it elsewhere. No need to be a richard about it, or is that your thing, bra?

[The Saltman]

I was trying to help ya man. You don't need to get your panties in a wad.

Way to go Salty, you done pissed off teh noob...

...and MHS, you should include a link when you post news like that, its just the way things are...

[MHS831]

Radio link? Sorry Saltman, I guess I don't know your style yet.

I'm mystified by the 4-year multi-million dollar deal. He's has zero minutes pro game time, was a 3rd round draft pick, is transitioning to a position he hasn't played in years...

Were not even into training camp yet. How can they know he's worth this?

This link should help put things in perspective. Edwards was scouted hard by Hurney and Fox. Personal workout, etc. His upside is tremendous. Does not guarantee success, but I watched him at the OTAs, and the kid is an athlete with good hands. I still think we could have waited to get him, but that would mean we would not have Norwood. To me, Norwood was a strange pick.

Notice what we are doing. We are getting players that fit a mold. That is why we went after Everette Brown last season (Freeney mold), traded Harris to accomodate faster safeties with more range, and took a tweener like Norwood. These are the guys Meeks likes. Now Davidson is getting his offense in gear, with more weapons in the passing game.

There is also a strong focus on special teams, with a new coordinator and Wright, Hudson, and Francisco being our key free agents. Edwards is expected to give us pop in the passing game and return punts, possibly kickoffs.

I compare drafting Edwards to when we took a punt returner out of Utah in the third round 10 years ago. I hated the pick.

His bonus and overall terms were in line with the picks just before and after him...
