Bills agree to terms with DE Dwan Edwards

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that after agreeing to terms with ILB Andra Davis on a two-year deal earlier in the day, the Buffalo Bills have signed free agent DE Dwan Edwards, too.
Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times reports that Edwards and the Bills agreed to a four-year, $18 million deal just after midnight. He is expected to sign the contract, which includes escalator clauses that can boost the max value to over $18 million, sometime Wednesday.
Edwards, 29, has spent the entirety of his six-year career with the Baltimore Ravens. An excellent run defender, the 6'3", 315-pound Edwards has played defensive end in Baltimore's 3-4 system, contributing 47 tackles, a sack and a defensive touchdown to the league's third-best defense in 2009.
One of the youngest prospects on a veteran-laden free agent market, Edwards is a solid, dependable player that will instantly become a starting end in defensive coordinator George Edwards' new 3-4 defense. He will likely be penciled into the starting lineup alongside Marcus Stroud, with Kyle Williams providing depth at end and nose tackle and Spencer Johnson adding excellent depth at end as well.
Edwards had made two previous free agent visits, making stops in Seattle and Denver.

This makes my day!!!!!
I hope all is well in Bills Nation. Go Team Go!!!!
This is like dumping a new puzzle from it's box. Now let's start putting the peices together. I guess this is what we all asked for.
Two useful signings today
I think Buffalo has the option to wait until the middle rounds of the draft now to address DE and ILB if nobody awesome falls into their laps in rounds 1-3…I envision Dwan Edwards battling Spencer Johnson for a starting job and probably winning and I envision Andra Davis beating out Mitchell next to Posluszny…I don’t think Mitchell makes the 53 man roster and I’m more than ok with that scenario.
Just say no...to Trent Edwards at QB.
Why do you think Mitchell doesn't make the team?
Even if he doesn’t start, he would provide quality depth at both ILB and OLB. Right now, we have Schobel and Maybin as OLB’s, not counting that other guy they seem to think can make the switch, so depth there is just as necessary as at other positions….
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Personally, I don’t like the undisciplined way Mitchell plays…that might just be me, but I think the Davis signing could indicate that Nix could conceivably share that view. I don’t see Buffalo holding on to an older, high priced player to ride the bench in a rebuilding year and I don’t see Mitchell as a legitimate outside linebacker in this defense either. If he doesn’t come back from his injury better than Davis (which I don’t believe he was before he was injured), Buffalo would be better off filling out the depth chart with mid to late round draft picks that they can groom.
Just say no...to Trent Edwards at QB.
Davis is a 2 down player
Andra Davis won’t be on the field on third down. I’m not a huge fan of his play myself – mostly because he disappears for games on end, but Mitchell stays.
i will not drinketh thy coolaid...
worded that strangely
I am not a huge fan of Mitchells…. I am stoked about Andra Davis because it means they are building to run and stop the run. The only way to do it, IMHO.
i will not drinketh thy coolaid...
Could Keith Ellison fill a coverage LB role more effectively than Mitchell? If not Ellison, a rookie might.
Just say no...to Trent Edwards at QB.
Poz proved pretty decent in coverage last year....
How many more LB’s in coverage will we have? Maybe one of the OLB’s, but in certain passing situations, Mitchell/Davis will have to come out so an extra DB can come in.
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Possibly Bryan Scott????
This is like dumping a new puzzle from it's box. Now let's start putting the peices together. I guess this is what we all asked for.
he held up well this year for us
ill billeave in him till he shows otherwise
"Hold ya chin up...nuh nuh nuh...gone" -Marshawn Lynch-
Mitchell
I love the way Mitchell blitzes the QB. He has a knack for exploding into the backfield when he’s blitzing and he’s a pretty good tackler as well. I only have two knocks on him, he’s a little slow and he’s getting a bit older
As do I. He’s pretty average there. I like his versatility and his fit in the locker room, but that’s about it.

I think he was a useful blitzer in the 4-3, when our ends were so putrid that anyone that flashed into the backfield once every five tries was great.
I don’t think Mitchell is athletic enough to play OLB and be a great pass rusher in the 3-4, and I don’t think he’s physical enough to play 3-4 ILB. He might be the odd man out.

Personally, I don’t like the undisciplined way Mitchell plays
Not gonna disagree there. Although I feel like pointing out that I feel he’s as stiff in open field as he is undisciplened. I think Mitchell is a decent, starting caliber LB. Nothing more and maybe even something less.
Here’s my logic on how he makes the roster though: Even if Buffalo adds another dozen good players through the draft and FA, name 40 players on the roster who are better than Mitchell?
Hopefully he’s a situational guy next year, because if he is, Buffalo has some solid LBs.

Disagree. He may be our only prototypical NT (and even thats not toally true) but Williams is capable of being a very good pass rushing NT.

Huh?
How is Williams all of a sudden capable of rushing the passer? He’s not a fit as a pass rusher at all.

Ok maybe not passer rusher, but he does excel at penetrating the gap. IMO

Exactly. 3-4 DL is like 4-3 DTs, they’re players you want to rotate depending on situation.

either way, with the question marks Stroud, and Mitchell as you say, have become high quality depth, even if they are only mediocre starters… we haven’t lost much on D player wise, and with these additions, and an NT in the draft, and maybe another LB… we will have a defense ready for inevitable injury and a set of players that will push hard for starting positions
It is Brohm’s Bills jersey that is the least stained with doo-doo... GO BILLS
about time
depth is so key for our team, that having guys of equal talent all rotating on D is more important than just good enough starters sitting atop a depth chart built on fringe NFL starters…. i would think even Ellison looks to be a ILB now/OLB now, and will most likely be a special teamer most of the time he sees the field

If the ankle injury that Stroud’s played 32 straight games since is a question mark for you, why isn’t the 16 games since Edwards’ frigging spinal fusion surgery???

I would also like to know the answer to this question about injuries Stroud/Edwards
I think Stroud is gonna have a nice year in 2010.
by StroudFanClub on Mar 16, 2010 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Because I think the injuries, albeit nagging, have slowed him down
He’s been nicked up in his two seasons here, and even though he hasn’t missed any games, I think his play has suffered. He’s nowhere near the player he once was. He has value, and I think he’ll have some success, but I still don’t see him as a great fit overall….
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I agree that Stroud has been slowed by the nagging injuries.
But I still think he’s an integral part of the defensive line. I love watching games and really focusing on him….he does the little things that make other people’s jobs easier. And even though he’s not the player he once was, I think he still has enough in the tank to put together a few more good seasons.
by StroudFanClub on Mar 16, 2010 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions
Of course he's still an integral part of the DL
I just don’t think the transition will be super smooth for him, and I really believe he’s started to wear down with diminishing skills. I think he’ll be a solid run stopper for us, and really do a good job taking on blockers for us, freeing up the LB’s on the edge.
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I disagree K.....
I agree with Brian. Stroud is a perfect fit, even now, for the 3-4 end.

The only thing I keep wondering is
Isn’t Stroud too big and/or slow to play on the end of a defensive line?
What are the weight measurables of an average 3-4 DE I wonder.
Mmmph rrgh prrmf! - someone with his mouth gagged
Go Jazz! Go Hogs! GO BILLS!
Well Dwan Edwards is 6'3 315. I know Stroud is like 6'5-6'6 320ish? (that's a guess).

by SouthBuffaloNDgrad on Mar 16, 2010 11:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Too big? Nope. Too slow? Maybe, but probably not
He’s going to be more of a clogger, blocker occupier than a playmaker. If he’s asked to penetrate and make plays in the backfield, I don’t think he’ll be able to do it. If he can take on two blockers on the edge, he’ll do a good job.
Most 3-4 DE’s are 6’3"-6’6" and 295+ lbs. I don’t have any specific averages, but just looking around rosters that utilize the 3-4, you’ll see most of the DE’s in that size range.
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I feel like the 3-4
is all about size IMO, the front 7 should have height at the DE’s and OLB’s ( like the Pats older 3-4 D, 2001-2007ish) all the guys that played had some size. At NT and MLB hieght isn’t a concern, just a big NT and some size one the edge. As K’s range of size for 3-4 DE’s you won’t find those short Dwight Freeny type DE’s maybe an OLB could have success of the edge. I’m kinda nervous with the fact that our D is good but we could have containment problems on the outside, I mean Maybin (we don’t know what we got), Schobel (could he handle contain duties), and Kelsay trying to contain a run play at OLB that’s nice, Shonne Greene will kill us. My biggest worry for the new defense but I like the move(s) so far. Sign Dwan please sign

Why does anyone have to beat anyone else out?
Seriously, hear me out here. We now have 4 very good 3-4 DE’s (Stroud, Edwards, Johnson, Williams) that we can rotate in and out all depending on situation. The way I see it our “starters” will see about 60% of snaps and our “backups” will see the other 40%. They should be rotating as often as possible to keep everyone fresh and keep our D more effective.

I think it’s fairly clear that our FA plan was to sit out a few days and let the dust settle, and then swoop in with value signings. I still expect some more action, especially on guys like Washington.
by Jeff Winters on Mar 16, 2010 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions
its weird
because value signings at the start of FA have not done us too well in the past, and those “value” signings were still overpayments for mediocre talent, Mitchell, Langston Walker, Hangartner…. maybe Im wrong, but it seems that could have still gotten good players for less, or same, had we waited and let the dust settle the past few years like Nix has done… it seems to be a change of pace so far, and Gailey’s interview, also on here in the Fan shots and on SI.com, seems pretty good… anyone know if there is a video somewhere.. Id like to see him speak a bit more. Ive only seen him during his intro press conference and I am so used to the Robot (Dick Jauron)

Edwards – NT – Williams (Stroud and Johnson for depth)
Schobel – Mitchell – Poz – Maybin (Davis and Kelsey for depth)
Mcgee – Byrd – Scott – McKelvin (Florence, Whitner, Wilson, and Corner for depth)
II could be crazy, but, that doesn’t look that bad, even if you move some pieces around and disagree with who I have starting.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Agreed.....not that bad
I wonder if CHIX are happy with the fatties we have on the roster at NT or if we will make a run at Cody in the 2nd round?
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
They could very well go with Dan Williams in round 1, if Chix is a firm believer that you can’t win without an excellent defense.
Could but not likely
Gailey is offensive minded and is going to want to get it humming. Since we have signed two starters on D, I would expect our draft to be very O heavy.
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
not so sure. Nix has said that nose is the most important position on the D. I doubt he waits long to take one in the draft. Huge drop-off in NT talent after DW.
most of my posts get deleted :(
but we have the pass rusher in K Williams
and we had one run stuffing fatty on the roster and picked up another. They might be willing to roll with them or wait to see who comes off the wire when cuts are made.

Scott
Mcgee – Byrd – Scott – McKelvin (Florence, Whitner, Wilson, and Corner for depth)
I think that Flo might get the start over McKelvin this year just because he played so well last year. and Brian Scott will definitely not be starting. George Wilson had 100+tackles and 4 picks. Wilson will definitely start I think
Unfortunately
The two biggest pieces, NT and pass rusher, are lacking. It looks solid at this point though. Let’s hope Maybin really turns it on this year. That would REALLY help the transition.

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Amen. Man, if Maybin could produce this year as a pass rusher
well, that would just be so helpful to the overall success of the defense. I really hope he shows some glipses at the very least.

I honestly think that we have 2 pass rushers. What i think we’re missing is a well rounded OLB.

Close. very close, but here's how I see it right now.
Edwards – Williams – Stroud (Johnson for depth and Edwards occasionally playing NT)
Schobel – Davis – Poz – Maybin (With Kelsey at depth at OLB, N Harris at ILB and Veek playing both ILB and OLB situationally)
McGee – Byrd – Wilson – McKelvin (Florence, Whitner, Scott, Corner and C. Harris for depth)
Looks like a good start to me. And we still have to add in our draft picks, I’m expecting an NT and an OLB to be added in the mix. I think that we may just have a respectable 3-4 D.

What are the problems with these two?
I hate to sound like skeptic, but I’ve always felt like one man’s FA is another man’s cut/not good enough guy.
So why are we getting these two?
Edwards – kneck issue. Fused vertebrae in his neck, played the entire season last year however and played effectively.
Davis – 2 down ILB. Great against the run, a liability against the pass.

Dwan Edwards scouting reprt
Edwards is a high-effort player who can contribute to the Ravens’ multiple front in numerous ways. While he isn’t powerful enough at the point to handle the nose, he is very resilient and battles to the whistle. He is a good athlete, though, and can makes plays in pursuit. Edwards needs to work on his hand usage at the point of attack and isn’t real quick to shed, as he allows blockers too quickly into his body. Edwards is also just a marginal pass-rusher who offers little in terms of counter moves once initially stymied.

Considering all the holes,
Isn’t that how you should draft? Unless we draft a QB in rounds 1-3, I would expect them to draft starters or at least role players who will see significant time. Near as I can tell, CHIX are running a different show. Last years draft was pretty good, especially if Maybin starts at OLB this year. How CHIX will draft remains to be seen.
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
Hell our first round pick last year basically didn’t play.
True but they did get 3 starters, Wood, Levitre, and Byrd. Even Nelson was a very useful player. I’m not saying that they can fill all of those positions just some of them, and re-reading back what you wrote I see that you did say the same thing also.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
True, we did get 5 possible long term starters out of last year's draft.

I agree they are both solid pickups and there is more work to do. I would be surprised if much more gets accomplish in the FA market though. I know it’s been beaten like a dead horese, but Buddy has said he wants to build through the draft. I think his first draft will consist of “safe picks” (meaning the likes of Bulaga as opposed to Davis, and no Tebow) that he feels can help immediately.

when we know how we will address the QB and NT positions. Frankly, I am satisfied with FA at this point. A good draft and few good post draft FA signings and we could look solid enough to compete this year.
It doesn’t HAVE TO go that way. I’d be satisfied if we just got our NT and future franchise QB next draft.

for stating the obvious.
I am very optimistic about this new regime. Of course I am (well) over 50, and (according to much I’ve read on this site), what do we know..We just sit around in our Depends and and wet our pants.
its a good first step…Lt and Nt and then whatever we deem the best value..I do have a Question for Brian, What do you think about the Eagles Chris Gocong? I hear that he was tendered for a third, but i think we could get him for less. Ive read reports that say that he would be a much better fit in a 3-4 then he is in the 4-3…..You think he would be worth a look?
How You Say...Wha Wha!
I wouldn't trade anything for Gocong

Hasn't proven a thing
Maybe he would be better in the 3-4 than he has been in Philly’s D, but it’s hard for me envisioning any team giving up a mid round pick for him. He hasn’t proven he can get to the QB, and that’s what we’d be trading for.

Today is a good day
Edwards is a very nice signing. 6 foot 3, 315lbs is a very nice size. Love the fact he came from the ferocious Ravens defense too. Maybe he will bring some fire to the D.
Really like our linemen….Stroud, Williams, Johnson, Edwards. There is some talent there. A nice, big, nasty young nose tackle would really put the icing on the cake.
Really liked the signing of Davis as well. Solid, dependable tackler. Should provide some leadership too. Nice guy to boot!
Very good day, One Bills Drive. Really like the signings so far. Some solid, hard working guys. Bravo!
A nice, big, nasty young nose tackle would really put the icing on the cake.

This isn’t like a T.O. let’s sign him for the sake of signing him thing. They didn’t try to make a huge splash like with T.O. These guys are here for a purpose, not to draw attention from Lee Evans. Signing these guys is to good ideas what Chan Gailey saying there will be an open QB competition was to “duh” ideas. This also leaves them with some room to move away from, for the most part, hosting defensive free agents and host some offensive guys too. Nice day for OBD, hope to see it continue!

Okay, this D is looking mighty fine from my vantage point. Then again my vantage point is Madden 08 tainted — where Kyle Williams is apparently a damn fine NT. Gotta love that Trench Fight for strength building :P
So they may as well go for Dan Williams at 9, and they just seem to need depth at OLB, late depth at DE, and then NEXT year’s career mode Madden Bowl interview will have “I play as the Bills. You can’t beat me if you can’t score.”
Andra Davis:
- 4 stars, 6th highest among players at his position in FA -scout.com
- 2 stars, “liability in coverage, but he can start in a 3-4 and play well against the run.” -walterfootball.com
Dwan Edwards:
-3 stars, position ranking: #17 among players at his position in FA -scout.com
2.5 stars, “hes a force against the run,” -walterfootball.com
What are the odds we have added a starter to our roster today?
1/2?
I think Davis certainly starts. I actually think for the $, it was a great signing and he may only be a 2 down player but he’ll make his presence felt. I don’t think Dwan starts but he’ll see plenty of time. Its all about fresh bodies on the D-line. Good day for Buffalo, good start.
Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! -The Dude

I think Edwards is a lock to start and Davis is going to be in a battle with Mitchell. I just don’t see Spencer Johnson overtaking a guy like Edwards. I think it’s one definite and one maybe.

I think these are 2 great pickups. As for Mitchell……he is a solid LB…..we need all the solid guys we can get with making the switch. Moving him to OLB allows the Bills to work on the Offensive side during the 1st few rounds of the draft…

I'm surprised no one has discussed Chris Kelsay
What does this mean for him, he’s got to be behind at least the 4th rotational DE now, or even 5th (Edwards, Stroud, Williams, S. Johnson). Will the Bills seek to move him? He has been signed to that expensive starting-sized contract.
Mmmph rrgh prrmf! - someone with his mouth gagged

The stuff..
Does he really have it? Now we’ll see if he can earn the money he’s been paid. I’d like to think he will, but I’m not convinced.

Great Great Great......Very nice additions....Now
LT LT LT LT LT LT LT…and oh yeah…LT
I would love a heavy dose of O Line in the draft…………and maybe a QB too.
Buffalo Bills or Die.
NT 1st
CHIX will have 2 c what they’ve really inherited, I hope. The only QB they should consider is Jevon Sneed. Ev1’s talkin bout Vick…MsNabb..Mscoy..Clawpit…How bout a kid who’s willing 2 learn that we can get in the 3rd maybe 4?

DE quote from updated link:
I’ve heard nothing but great things about Ralph Wilson…
Welcome to Buffalo, Dwan.
a.k.a. Undee
Maybe because the only thing he’s heard is “Ralph Wilson signs your check”. LOL
most of my posts get deleted :(
I’ve heard nothing but great things about Ralph Wilson…
Apparently, he only talked to Russ Brandon during his visit.
Bill Polian and AJ Smith are gone, so there's not the usual balance between "sane" and "others." Ralph has mentally checked out since 1994. It's a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.
Wait... It's As If
…they know what they need. and they are trying to get it.
i’m not really sure what we’re supposed to do now.
i will not drinketh thy coolaid...
I found this vaguely amusing
I saw the spine guy here today, Dr. Cappuccino
Can that really be his name? If so that’s awesome

Yep, that’s his name. He’s the doc that saved Kevin Everett’s quality of life.

That's cool
So he’s a heck of a doctor, and has the greatest name ever. ( I’m a bit of a coffee junkie)
Yep the doc did that
advanced and controversial practice of infusing a coolant into Kevins body ( not sure if I got that totally right) and then saving his ability to walk sooner. He’s a damn good doc IMO, being able to make life changing decisions on the fly. I remember the new confrence after all that happened and seeing his name and was like wtf, Cappuccino?, sweet name.

Scouting Report?
I read the brief scouting report posted by someone earlier, but does anyone have the ESPN Insider report by Scouts, Inc. or whoever does their NFL scouting?
"I'm going to talk to Mike and see what he has to say and see what he thinks he needs. But there are going to be some changes. What's that old song? 'There are going to be some changes made'? Frankly I forget the words beyond 'there are going to be some changes made.'" -Ralph Wilson, Jr.
I go to Montreal to see an Alice In Chains concert and end up missing all the fun!
GREAT DAY!!!!!! Edwards isn’t a difference maker, but he’s a VERY solid player that we can depend upon while building our 3-4. FANTASTIC SIGNING!!!!!!
Add Andre Davis and our 3-4 is starting to look respectable. I’d still like to find a true NT, but I’m starting to think that we’ll have a respectable deffense next year.
Nix is starting to prove a lot of nay sayers wrong (hi Jason ;-) ) and I couldn’t be happier about it (as I’m sure Jason is as well… haven’t read all the comments yet). Nix looks like he knows what he<s doing and has a deffinate plan that he is unfolding in front of us. I can’t wait to see what he’ll do in the draft.
The more I see, the less I know.
