Lomax to Green 84
Hall of Famer
I saw Edge's interview last night at the Pro Bowl and he sure sounds like a proud guy who wants to prove the the Colts and everyone else that he is a special back and a guy who still has a ton left. I knew Edge was great, but I did not know that he averages per game more than any back in NFL history. Pretty impressive stuff.
Talking contract. Any idea what its going to take to bring Edge in? I've loved the guy ever since he was at Miami and he still is a young guy (27 years old), who has been very healthy for the last 5 seasons (knee injury in 2001).
If Denny wants to survive past next year, he absolutely has to swallow his pride and get an established back in here next year. Not Micheal Bennett, not JJ Arrington, and the more I think, not a 1st round guy. James is as good a back as there has been in the league for the past 7 years. He would instantly bring star power to a position that has been a major sore spot for the last 20 years. We would not be bringing in another Emmitt Smith who is way past his prime.
Get it done Cards. Yes the o-line needs fixing. Sign James and still bring in one or maybe two starting o-linemen. Lets forget about "building for the future". We have been doing that for the last 50 years and it hasn't gotten this organization anywhere. Lets actually put a bonafide playoff talented team on the field next year to kick off this great new stadium. Signing the Edge would send a message to the rest of the league that the Cards are for real.
