Doesn’t this make it kind of obvious they illegally tampered with him?
17 mins to agree to terms?
Lol, its funny cause obviously they have spoken in some form. But whats the answer to that, create another legal tampering period 3 days prior to this one? Haha
for positions. obviously they are talking to those same agents about their own players at various positions. the players know their markets, the teams generally know how they rank/value the tiers.
both sides spent the last 1-2 months thinking about who they want and for the players where they want to go and what price they want.
so while there is some genuine tampering pre-legal tampering, free agency is more like a fast moving auction. bids come in and for players if they hit what they are looking for it's smart to act fast vs waiting for teams to move on and bid elsewhere.
Things lined up with the Giants needs there. The top will get the top, so I don't see Edmunds getting too depressed but this is a good sign for that next tier.
That’s great news from a Giants perspective, as there were earlier reports of Edwards getting somewhere north of 13 mil annually. ILB Market could be setting up nicely.
JS has very good feel on this player and if Wink says he will be a star in my system I am all for it.
The JS connection is why I think we get him. I feel like GMs & coaches like a guy they know when it comes to calling the defense which Edmunds has done for his entire career.
Edwards still looks to me like the player who went undrafted.
Whether that player should have gone undrafted is another matter. There is value in a solid ILB who makes the right reads and tackles reliably. The same things that kept him from being a special prospect keep him from being a special pro. The Bears seem to know that they’re getting. We’ll see how he fares with less talent around him, on a team with a much smaller margin for error.

@RapSheet
He gets $19.5M over 3 years, source said. $12M guaranteed. A big signing for Chicago, and not the last.

Great sign for Giants as they are in on the LB market

I'd like Pratt or Okereke. Wouldn't hate Long either.
