Free Agency Update

Ron edwards is huge guy. 6-3 315 kind of remind you of Vince Wilfork. I wouldnt say as good but as in size wise. He is 32 so up there a little bit in age.

[BountyHunter]

We signed NT Ron Edwards from the Chiefs!

Sounds like a stopgap until the the rookies get up to speed.

there goes our DT...haha...we need to go hard after joseph now

[Proudiddy]

Great!

Ron.

Edwards.

Yay!

[Proudiddy]

Press Conference would be right around 6pm, You should hear something around 4pm about Dwill's contract. Newton's a bit earlier, I'd say around 1pm or so.

Does that help. :D

Be shocked at Dwill's contract, that man is getting paid!!! :D

Are you serious?

You know this firsthand CP96?

How does everyone feel about having two 10 Million dollar CB's?

6 year deal worth 64 Million dollars with 29 million guaranteed for JJ???

[Bj-Monster23]

I like the move because who would know him better then Rivera. Going up against the chiefs two times a year. Rivera must really see something in Ron Edwards. So I approve this deal.

[Proudiddy]

WTF???

Former Chiefs defensive tackle Ron Edwards reached agreement with Carolina on a 3-yr, $8.25 million deal.

From Schefter

Just seems like he could be had for cheaper. Not that this breaks the bank by ANY means, but seems like he was higher up on the target list than just some bum.

[BountyHunter]

Schefter say's it's 3 yr 8.25 mil deal for Edwards

[PantherBrew]

WTF???

From Schefter

Whats wrong?

[The Saltman]

What do you mean wtf?

[The Saltman]

The guy hasn't missed a game since signing with the chiefs.

[carpanfan96]

That's not a bad deal for a pretty good NT, he's being brought in to stuff the run. At 2.75 million per, not a bad deal at all for Carolina.

From rotoworld :

Free agent NT Ron Edwards is expected to be the Chiefs' "most immediate priority" to re-sign this offseason. Edwards is an above average run defender, but the Chiefs need to start thinking about getting younger at the position.
