Id rather Edmunds over old mate from the jags

I was going to make the same comment--better in coverage, only 27.  Jags LB is going to be overpriced.

Lloyd is who I want, but I think Edmonds is absolutely in his tier and gives us a pivot if either guy tries to strong arm us with contracts. TBF, both could, but at least we have a second option of equal value. 

Give me either player here and I think we find our alpha, green dot LB. Draft another in rounds 1-3 too.

 

Devin Lloyd (28 in September) 

4 year totals: 63 games - 436 tackles, 15 TFL, 18 QB hits, 3.5 sacks, 1 FF, 9 INT, 1 pro bowl

 

Tremaine Edmonds (28 in May)

4 year totals: 58 games - 437 tackles, 17 TFL, 9 QB hits, 3 sacks, 2 FF, 10 INT, 2 pro bowls

I like the market, but I think we could do better than Edmunds.

Being in Chicago, I've seen it up close.  He's a solid linebacker, but has had injuries and a lot of wtf lapses.  He's the classic overpaid solid starter that at one point was hyped as a top guy.  The defense actually played a bit better when he was out this past year.  

Wouldn't hate it but don't necessarily want it.

Hold on, didn't Edmunds and Dan Morgan time overlap while at da bills?? I think Dan came to the Panthers in 2020, I swear getting old....... I know that bills and Edmunds had a falling out and they allowed a 24-25 talented 5 year pro to walk. Bills then found milanoe(sp...4th round?) and gave him money until injuries changed his path. He also a free agent too.

Ive seen bad reports on Edmunds, but his elite skill allowed him to overcome his bad habits. Now he's a little slower and the second team in his career is willing to let him walk. Bears had enough cap room too, 17mill for a ILB, Jesus you need to be on Luke's level....

Unless he's coming on the cheap and I know he's not, pass form me. Too many bad habits and poor judgements for a guy that is going to get 10 something mill.
