Edge

[Cody]

if we didn't get an RB in the first round do you think we will be seeing him next year?


i have no problems having him again...but he might cause some problems

 

[binkar]

No. If we get a running back in round 1 he will almost certainly be gone.

 

[az jam]

It doesn't matter what round we get an rb, Edge will be realeased.

 

[PoolBoy]

It doesn't matter what round we get an rb, Edge will be realeased.

^ yup

 

[Reddog]

It doesn't matter what round we get an rb, Edge will be realeased.

Then why not release him now? I think we keep him unless we get a good enough back to replace him. At some point late in the draft that isn't a slam dunk.

If we don't get an RB in the draft there is always FA. I highly doubt James plays for the Cards next year but it's smart to hold on to him for now for insurance reasons

 

[lauraw]

there are 5 million reasons to release edge after the draft- whizz isn't flying by the seat of his pants, he has a scenario in mind about getting a new back, and what to do about edge. just waiting for the proper time.

And unlike AIG you hedge your bets with a backup plan. Edge is that backup plan until another abled body RB is on the roster.

What he said.

Edge will not be on the team next year and ,even if he was, why would he cause problems when he didn't this past year?

Because this draft is so weak in RBs, there's some merit in keeping the current offense together and devoting this draft to improving the defense, and in particular the pass rush.

Edge is Edge. He's still a good teammate. And he will do what he always does...take a pounding and keep on ticking. He was dang good in the playoffs and what he should realize is that at this point in his career, having fresh legs entering the playoffs is a real blessing.

If it were up to me the first 4-5 picks are on defense. Can you imagine how good the Cardinals could be if the defense gets good?

The offense is fine. Leave it alone.

Get this defense straightened out.

Edge was good in the playoffs because he was playing with a HUGE chip on his shoulder.

Unless Whiz can find a way keep that chip on Edge's shoulder permanently, he needs to go as soon as we have a decent replacement.

Edge is going to play hard because he's Edge. Sure the playoff lights can motivate anyone. But, Edge won't dog it...he's got a HOF ballot on the line.

All the talk I hear is Edge is sure to be released. Doesn't Edge have trade value. can't we trade hime on draft day for a pick or two or will we just let him go?

Not with his $5M price tag. That's the problem.

Plus his age.
