Any chance we keep Edge?

[azsouthendzone]

I say keep him. Come out an anoint him the starter. He still has something left in the tank.

 

[IAWarnerFan]

He's worthless a trade asset.

And he's not as big a distraction as the fans think.

Do you think he'd try to hold out or do you think he'd play if kept?

Smart money (translation: the mainstream media) says no. (He doesn't want to be here, the Cards seem to be moving in another direction, the $5-mil cap space etc.)

I'd like him to be back.

First of all, his productivity (or lack thereof, depending on whom you're talking to) was, in my opinion, less to do with Edge and more to do with the Cardinal offensive scheme early and mid-season.

What I like about Edge is that, when he hammers between the tackles, he runs with extremely low pad-level and typically will create an additional 3 or more yards after contract than just about any RB out there.

The Cards, in my opinion, need more than just a couple of quick guys who can make draw plays go and/or catch out of the backfield. There are certain circumstances in games against certain kinds of defenses where you need someone who can pound it up between the tackles. Until we draft someone like that or pick one up in free agency, Edge fills this void.

And he's kind of cool. (His teammates like him).

Finally, someone I agree with. Edge is no longer an elite player but he is an elite mentor and a solid upfield runner. I was very disappointed with the way his situation was handled last year but I would like to see him stay this year. Edge, Hightower and Moreno/McCoy as a three headed threat. Edge has been through the ringer here.

-No consistency on the O-line(until this year)

-Three different O cordinators

-No solid offensive identity

-A HOF back who knows himself and a team in search of an identity(TOUGH)

I want Edge back this year.

They're not going to release Edge until they have a replacement. He may have to wait until after FA and the draft. He may not like it but that's the smart way to go for the Cardinals.

So does Hightower. And he might win a real SB ring, that he's actually there playing for!

 

[cardsfanmd]

I love Edge and am gonna miss him. I think most of you will too once the new season starts.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Good to see your agent come thru for you.

So, how is Drew Rosenhaus anyway?

He didn't get me any more money. But there is more job security.

I think you are exactly right and it is a reasonable way to handle the situation. The question is do we pick up a free agent, JJ is in this category, or rely on the draft? This is one of the bigger off-season questions for me.

Your mission is to find the alleged twin brother of Brandon Jacobs who is supposedly hiding out in the Delaware Water Gap...take Edge with you. Tired line...we agree to disagree on this one.

Its crap like this that makes players look poorly upon this organization! You know you don't want him let him go so he can find work elsewhere holding onto him until its to late is basically screwing him over, oh and you better believe other players around the league see that and its not a good perception to have.

They're not doing it to "screw him over". The Cards have to take care of their own business first. Once we have a suitable replacement for Edge he will be set free. Egde can complain all he wants but thats business.
