The Big Cat Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Great, then it's finally settled: the guys heart just isn't/wasn't in it. I'm glad we cut ties with him. Now we have a QB who's all heart. And what a difference it makes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFITZ1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 http://sports.yahoo....t_over_dolphins The Miami Dolphins made Trent Edwards(notes) an offer after working him out earlier this week, but the quarterback turned it down. I assume he saw state of their Offensive Line and decided it was better for his health and career to wait and take a chance of playing some other time. I think 'unemployment' is author's hyperbole rather than actually collecting since he would need to justify turning down offer. This guy was never the same after he suffered a concussion against Arizona. He can't assess the play situation as it develops fast enough to both be effective and prevent getting pummelled. He had his run in the NFL. It's time for him to take what he has, and move on with the rest of his life. Hey - Stanford degree (if he has it, or will get it) is nothing shabby.

Nuncha Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Wait, no State Income taxes, and great weather...Either Edwards wants to really put his Stanford degree to use, or he has lost his mind. On second thought, he probably asked Miami if he could sleep on it, and awoke in the middle of the night with visions of Dareus, Wilfork and Gang Green pummeling him to the turf. Here is the precise moment he lost his mind....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nope. If you don't remember "well, I'm not a Bills fan. I'm a football player. I happen to be a Bills player." Yes - One of the dunmbest quotes from the aloof one. He turned down a job in the NFL, this means he does not want to play anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You herd it hear last Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 He just ran out of bounds on 4th down... again... this time the game is REALLY over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I think 'unemployment' is author's hyperbole rather than actually collecting since he would need to justify turning down offer. He is unemployed (in a state of unemployment), which is not the same thing as collecting unemployment benefits. No hyperbole needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Saw where Garrard said no thanks too. While the coach may be bad and the team 0-4, second chances rarely come at the time and place of your choosing, Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuncha Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The golfing in south Florida isn't as good as some other places. Perhaps he was afraid of a road game in Buffalo....could you imagine the welcome he would receive coming to town in a Dolphins uniform? LOL!

PS 56 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Truthfully I get it. I always liked Trent. But it is plain that after the hit in the Arizona game he was never the same. Can't say that I blame him. He wants to maintain his health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFishfinder Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Smart move. Whoever replaces Sparano by the end of the season would release him anyway. He's done as anything other than an emergency 3rd string QB in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Which always explains why the best game of his career was the next game after the Arizona game. It is truly Sisyphean to try to use facts against this particularly tenacious myth.... As a poster above quoted, Trent survived the hit in Arizona... it was the three weeks after the SD game, in which the bills lost to Miami, the Jets, and NE*, that did him in.

bills1960 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nope. If you don't remember "well, I'm not a Bills fan. I'm a football player. I happen to be a Bills player." That was the joke.

Doc Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 You're right, you can't hardly live on 2 million. Considering it will probably be the most money he ever earns, he'd be wise to make as much of it as he can, when he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Blizzard Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Trent is looking for the right situation. A potential Superbowl participant that needs a solid backup QB (maybe a 4th string FG ball holder?). Miami doesn't fit the bill.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Was there a flag thrown on that play? I didn't see one. The ref was going to throw a flag onto the field, but he got scared and checked down to a line judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Fwiw, David Garrard also turned down a contract offer from the Dolphins, citing the money which showed him Miami was not committed to keeping him on the roster for the duration of the season. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7075859/david-garrard-bristles-dolphins-wants-chance Also, !@#$ Trent Edwards.
