Edmunds to Bears


Roundybout

Recommended Posts

As I said before on TBD, I was at the Chicago game and the fans were talking about Edmunds joining their team.  It was talk of Chicago sports radio on possible FA signings.  He has landed in a good place.  He and Poyer may garner the Bills a extra draft pick next year.

18 per year is insane 

He's a better player than most Bills fans think he is, and the upside (youth, athleticism, experience, leadership) is tremendous.  He's not a perfect player but he's one of the better off-ball LBs in the league. He was great in pass pro last season, and it's a passing league.

Agreed. I figured the Bears would go after him. It's definitely a loss for the Bills; he had a very good season last year. They're going to have to replace him in FA. I've wanted Lavonte David for a while given that I figured Edmunds was gone.  

 

Yes, but now fans can see that Beane couldn't do that money.  OL and get 2 WRs (1 draft/1FA).

Good for him, we weren't going to pay him that, nor should we. Let's see who fills his spot now, wonder if Matt will start calling plays.

 

I don't think the Bears will be bringing home the Lombardi anytime soon, so nbd,  and @  least he's in the NFC.

Very conflicted about this. 
 

On the one hand, I think Edmunds is very very good (and young) and combining him with Milano gives us one of the best LB tandems in the league. 
 

On the other hand, there’s no way the Bills could afford him at that price. And it’s not reasonable for him to take a substantial home town discount. I’m not going to malign players for getting their bag. 
 

I’m sad that he’s gone, but I’m happy for him. At least he’ll be on tv here in Chicago a lot.
