Ron Edwards, NT, Kansas City. Doesn't ring a bell......

And what they're saying......

Uh-oh. The Kansas City Chiefs nose tackle position will look different in the 2011-12 season. The KC Star's Adam Teicher reports NT Ron Edwards agreed to a three-year deal with the Carolina Panthers.

[update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it's three years, $8.25 million.]

This brings about a myriad of questions for the team.

Did the Chiefs try to re-sign him? Were they out-bid? Do they have another free agency plan at nose tackle?

To me, this is a surprising move. I figured with the lockout taking up the entire offseason that someone like Edwards would be a no-brainer to come back to town. The Chiefs drafted NT Jerrell Powe but it's far from certain that he'll be a capable contributor in 2011 considering the team hasn't even seen him yet.

The Chiefs may now be in the market for a nose tackle. Teicher also reported the Chiefs are trying to re-sign Shaun Smith, who has some nose tackle experience, so that's an option, but I wonder if they have their eye on anyone in free agency.

Our first big Chiefs free agency surprise. Stay tuned to see what happens next. I'm hoping GM Scott Pioli has a plan for this.

Yes, John Fox is gone from Carolina. But it looks like the Panthers are going back to the philosophy they followed in his early years.

They’re building around the defensive line. A day after agreeing to terms on a deal that will keep defensive end Charles Johnson with the team, the Panthers have addressed what’s been a glaring weakness in recent years. They just went out and spent some decent money on a defensive tackle in free agency.

They’ve agreed to terms with former Kanas City defensive tackle Ron Edwards, according to Adam Schefter. He’s agreed to a three-year deal worth $8.25 million.

Edwards is a pure run stopper and that’s something the Panthers need. He’s never had more than four sacks in a season, but the Panthers can get those from Johnson and others. They’re bringing in Edwards, 32, to help solidify the run defense.

He’ll act as a bridge and give rookies Terrell McClain and Sione Fua some time to develop.

    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
