Sign the yeast! His play can only rise!

It's already been tried, and the answer then was no.

Ray Edwards was a highly recruited prospect who made a big splash early in his college career at Purdue. Yet he didn't keep his momentum, and by his senior year found himself platooning with a guy who was picked up off the juco scrap heap. By the second half of the season, Mr. Scrap Heap, Rob Ninkovich, had beaten him out for the starting job.

Interesting to see the same trajectories now in the NFL. I'm happy to stick with the guy who keeps improving.

They should just take a chance and sign him tbh. They need all the help they can get on the defensive side of the ball

As has been stated though, he would then be cutting directly into Ninkovich's reps, not to mention the fact that Ninkovich continues to improve as he finds comfort in knowing his responsibilities.

Signing Edwards in-season with zero knowledge of the defense would not be prudent at this time unless we had a desperate need due to injuries.

The problems on the defensive side of the ball are in the secondary and interior pass rush/depth. I wouldn't honestly see how a signing like Edwards could improve upon those needs.

Niñko has a knack for making the timely play. Smart opportunistic player!

Ninkovich may have started out slow, but he's certainly picked it up. He's had a sack in each of the last three games, one of which ended the Jets-Pats game. He does what a pass rusher is meant to do, and that's get after the QB when it's needed most.

I think all of you Pats fans not calling him a legit pass rusher opposite Jones need to thank him for what he's done.
