NickelCity Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 4 hours ago, Logic said: I already liked the Bates trade, but now I REALLY like it. Between VanDemark, Edwards, and Alec Anderson, our OL depth is off to a good start. As for Edwards...any time you can sign a capable guard (who also essentially plays tight end in jumbo sets) to a fair deal, it's always a good day. Congrats, David "TE3" Edwards. Any it could be my rose colored glasses, but I loved Gouriage last offseason... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd add that there are probably even more players passing through that hallway today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 With the news about Morse I'm changing my opinion on the Edwards contract. $2.3M for a baseline starter is a good deal. Ideally a rookie or Alec Anderson will beat him out, but now we at least have a solid floor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson will get a chance to compete as will any draft pick they make. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good guard, but a center has to snap the ball and make line calls. It's not the same, although many players can do both. I don't know if he's one of them, but I have to assume the Bills know. I'd like to think they're not going to make a guy the starting center on a contending team if they don't already know that he can play center. Particularly after trading another player who they know can play center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played more guard but he has center experience. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards has had some very good years in the NFL what would be great as if he became a solid starter at left guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 He’s been a good player for us and at $3 million a year and moving McGovern to center. We have very little movement on our line. Alec Anderson backs up the interior spots. We will probably draft a guy 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerBillsFan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 He started at guard for the Rams the year they won the superbowl. He will be able to handle LG duties. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly after trading another player who they know can play center. He played a whole year at C in college. I believe over 800 snaps. Over 100 snaps at C in the NFL. He is more athletic than Morse. Weak in run block. So a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, the most important unit when you have a true franchise QB. Plus Tommy Doyle is coming back as well I believe. Guy was rising when the ACL happened 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
