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. At 6'3 315 and just turned 32 this month you couldnt have got a better Deal.

I don't think Mebane and Joseph and Coefield are really on the radar like most assume.

FA to Jerry meant former Panthers ( in terms of being aggressive). He most likely will take her prefered method as hitting FA's in the tier below those guys.

Well Coefield signed with the Skins - he would have been the bets option, IMO....

Solid Player, stat-wise.

I like it.

Never heard of him...

My question - had anyone heard of Brentson Buckner when he was signed by the Panthers?

probably not fair since he played local college ball.

Fwiw:

i think ron edwards is a great move. Adds needed experience and depth inside.

Anderson-Beason-Davis

Gamble-Godfrey-Martin-?

Experience is what we need at the DT position. Hurney has a knack for finding older DT's that can fill in. The difference this year is we actually have young guys behind them we can rotate in.

I can't find anything on why he was called "sweet" ron edwards other than the fans nicknamed all their players because the team was so bad for so long.

Well, hopefully your insider is right and Godfrey should still be a ?

I like the pick up, but I will be surprised if this is the only DT we bring.

^^this.

he's a solid DT. nice upgrade from what we've had. very reliable as well. didn't miss a game as a chief. as much as a problem as it has been to keep DTs healthy around here, this is a good thing.

shouldn't be the only DT we bring in. with a healthy rotation, this group of DTs could prove to be very valuable.

Edwards was expected to be a priority for Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, but the Panthers came in and swiped him away. It's just as well. Edwards is a decent run defender, but the Chiefs have the cap space to make a serious run at Aubrayo Franklin -- a potential impact signing. The Panthers will hope Edwards turns out better than Tank Tyler, the last defensive tackle to go from Kansas City to Charlotte.

Wheres Montag when you need him.

We should just copy and paste the comments from the old Tank Tyler thread.

[Panthro]

Tank was much more of an unproven talent. Sorry Ron Edwards crapped in your cheerios this morning.
