RUMOR: D.Edwards to Pats for 3rd - Per SD sports radio
 

Live in LA, my buddy just called me a few hours ago--he is a HUGE chargers fan--said the very solid rumor going right now is SD is dealing Edwards to Pats for a 3rd.

Again, this was heard on SD sports radio, but my buddy is a diehard Chargers fan who listens to them all the time and he pretty much talked like it was a done deal.

For what its worth, my friend was pissed. He loves DE and what he brings to the table, despite being early 30s.

Personally, as I stated in another DE thread, I'd love him for a 3rd. I honestly think he would be Roman Phifer Part II. I know a lot will say a 3rd for a LB on the "decline" in his early 30s is way too much to give, think back--if the Pats could have gotten the production they did from Phifer for a 3rd, it would be a no brainer. IMO, that's essentially what they'll be getting if they do this deal.

I hope to god its true.

Also, my buddy said, when they trade for Edwards, that Beisel was the clear man cut.

Interesting rumor. If true, I wonder what that says about Tedy's injury, if anything.

As for the source, I was recently in SD and what passes for sports talk radio out there is like seafood in Nebraska. It is nothing special. They had no scoops on the MLB trade deadline.

Well, Boston radio isn't much better from what I've heard :D

Anyway, if it was from Lee Hamilton - I think he just makes things up although he is entertaining.

I would say nothing. With Colvin, Vrabel starting outside and TBC spelling them, then Bruschi, Seau and Edwards would be a pretty good inside rotation.

OH HELL YEAH!! Okay, must contain myself in case this doesn't go down. HELL WITH THAT!! :rocker: :rocker:

A 3rd would meet the Chargers requirement of a Day 1 pick. Still don't think it will happen though.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for tonight's performance the roles of Ted Johnson and Roman Phifer will be played by the 2002 San Diego Chargers."

Works for me.

I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm, as I'm seeing no word on Charger messageboards as of yet, but the fact that the source went into enough detail that they said Beisel would be cut to make way for Edwards is what makes it seem legit to me.

But if its true I'm stoked, as this *really* solidifies our LB corps my mid-season.

Hey, if they want to consider 3.32 a Day 1 pick, more power to 'em. ;)

I haven't seen a thing anywhere. As I said, SD sports guy Lee Hamilton makes things up - I'm sure of it - so I wouldn't pay any attention until you hear something else.
