Mario Edwards agrees to terms with Bears

[wazzupi]

I like it i think he is way better than RRH, is a rotational piece I kinda wish we didn't sign Quinn I hope this season was a one off for quinn and he balls out. Our dline with hicks still in the line up will be one of the best.

You need back ups that can play. This doesn't mean anyone is gone.....yet

For me, watching Edwards all year, I was hoping we resigned him, but figured with how great he looked, he would garner a bigger contract than we could afford. I think this is a great value signing, either as a rotational piece or a starter, which personally I would prefer. Every time he played, he looked great. I actually think he was our best D-lineman last year, and hope his snap count reflects it this upcoming year. And he is only 27.

 

[CHI-ILL]

I think this is a good move, I was hoping they bring him back.

 

[Montucky]

Could turn out to be really good value if he can keep up this level of play over more snaps.

Good signing. With regards to Hicks:

say hello to my little friend

 

[bears5150]

Does that mean we are not getting Wilson now, some Wanker start a new thread hurry.

 

[Milky]

Good signing. He’s been miscast since entering the league IMO playing DE in a 43, fits much better as DE in a 34. Seems like he was always around the QB or RB when he was in. Had a couple sacks too that got called back on some BS roughing calls.

As a bonus Edwards being back probably makes Goldman happy also. Goldman actually probably helped Edwards get drafted ahead of him.

Shelvin would be a good pick. Definitely feeling defense in round 2.

Probably one of those inadvertent supplement deals.

Like sitting down hard on a syringe filled with nandrolone causing it to accidentally inject a huge dose into your right butt cheek just prior to a workout type inadvertent?

Sounds like a gerbil incident.

Sounds like a gerbil incident.

That begs a question, do gerbils result in a positive ped test, if so maybe Mario should go with that excuse. He could accuse the NFL of gerbil/human relationship discrimination and get the suspension lifted.

Edwards is a pretty interesting piece for this defense. He only played 24% of the snaps last year, but I would like to see that increased a bunch. I'd like to see him some on the edge in the base defense, basically similar to a 4-3 DE on some run downs. He was pretty good against the run in previous seasons, though he was used mostly as a pass rusher inside last year.

Be interesting to see if they bring back Urban now. If so, I would guess that makes Hicks expendable.

 

[Adipost]

I dont know aboot this move. Edwards looks to have had a Jerrell Freeman type PED resurgence.

 

[Outlaw Josey Cutler]

Hicks loafed a bit last year in spots, but that may be a "Pagano is shit" factor.

Edwards looked really great in rotation and I like this move. Keep the DL fresh. and hungry.

Mario is innocent. It was a wasted Gerbil.

Gotta bring Urban back

 

[KODIAKBEAR]

The good bye Akiem Hicks writing is on the wall. The question is more will they be able to get anything in trade or will he just end up released.

at 10 million per year, I think he will be released

Looks like about $1.8mil against the cap this year.
