    Said he was tired of STD bad mouthing him!



    Wonder what the offer was. Why would he want to move on? Didn’t get a big pay day. Did he not like how they were using him? That would be my guess.

    Ehh, maybe the Steelers’ was one where they really didn’t expect to take it, but if he did they couldn’t go wrong

    Interesting to find out what was offered, but last year was supposed to be a pay day on a trial year, he did not get it and might as well try new opportunities to try and secure some guaranteed money. I cant believe he was offered much less here than what he signed for in Philly.

    I’m thinking Khan wanted to keep him at a minimum and Weidl was secretly making a good reference to his buds at Philadelphia to get him out of here

    At least he wanted to go to a SB contender. Not like if he left for a bottom dweller. Despite how much STD hated him it does leave a void in our defense.

    And he went to a team with a pretty good defense (except for the new hole at safety)

    Maybe he thinks they can help cover his shortcomings and he will look better

    Plus a new fan base who have to start from scratch getting to know him

    I believe those so called Eagles have lost already 7 starters so far from that team. I seriously doubt Edmunds will help fill that. Don't look for them to be SB bound anytime soon.

    I nominate Philadelphia Piping Plovers.

    All goes back to Tomlin taking the wrong Edmunds on draft day.

    Hey Mike the good one has already been drafted…….

    You kidding? Philly fans don't need to know anything about anybody to hate them. They'll love them some Edmunds!

    At the end of the day the defense will be better without him.
    He is making peanuts for a reason.

    Depends if they replace him or not. If the plan is to use Minkah in the box then no, the defense is not better without him.

    Average player to say the least. He left because they offered him the same deal as last season. And got the same from the eagles.

    Don't snooze on Kazee. They signed him for 2 years and I believe he will be starting next to Fitzpatrick. He is a playmaker unlike Edmonds. Plus they are going to use Peterson as a safety in certain situations.

    Both ILBers are thumpers which will help in the run defense. Plus you have Robinson who hits like a fright train.

    They needed to shake up the defense a bit and they have done just that.

    Agree. Minkah may be better than Edmunds at every aspect of playing the “box” safety role, but his real value is playing single high and taking away the deep routes and making plays in front of him to cause turnovers. I think he’s the absolute best in the business at playing single high in Cover 1, and we can’t lose that.

    They have watched Him play as well as some of our fans.
    I don't hate the Guy like some think. I dislike the player.
    I rooted hard for Him for 3 years...after that I knew what He was, and still wanted Him to do well, but I didn't delusion Myself just because He was a Steeler. To anyone that honestly thinks We are going to miss him.....Please (I say this all the time, but none actually do it)....just pick any game He has played in, and only watch Him.
