Edelman to return for a playoff run?

[Rob0729]

Apparently there are rumors that Edelman is considering a return to make a playoff run. I can’t find anything on it, but they are going to about it on WEEI at 8. And Deion Branch discussed his potential return yesterday.

Sign him up, but the article is just Branch guessing about a possible return.

Knowing Jules, he's probably still like, 'Nah, I'm good.' But I do know deep down inside, this guy is a competitor, and he'd love to be out there making plays and helping these guys.

I would love Edelman back for a playoff run

 

[Rob0729]

If Edelman actual does return (although I ain’t holding my breath), he addresses the biggest need on the offense. A quick slot receiver who can run rub routes and effective slants.

Isn't his injury something that doesn't heal? His knee is bone on bone?

Not expecting this to happen, but if it did, I wouldn't be mad. He wouldn't be a starter for us though, more like a #4 who can make clutch catches the way Amendola did. His play had already fallen off before he retired.

Then again, Gronk's play also fell off before he retired.

As much as I'd love to have him back I hope he doesn't do this at the risk of his long term health. The last updates on his knee were that there was no cartilage left and he had bone on bone pain. I don't want to see the guy go through knee replacements and not be able to have an active lifestyle as he gets older.

Love ya Jules, but we all want you to be able to walk in five years.

He ain't coming back.

From Oct 6

“I mean, I could go out and catch 45, 50 balls,” Edelman said. “But like, what am I hanging on for?”

“I’m cool. I’m not trying to hang on. I don’t need the money,” Edelman added. “I don’t want to look like one of those old guys out there, which I started looking like that last year, because my body was breaking down. I have too much respect for the sport as an art.”

Julian Edelman says he could catch ‘45, 50′ passes in the NFL

The retired Patriots receiver explains why he's not coming back.

Knee replacements don‘t mean you aren’t able to have an active lifestyle later. I’m four months post op rehabbing my second knee replacement. It’s still a pain, but I’m twice Squirrel’s age, and I’m still planning on an active lifestyle if/when I get old.

I hope it doesn’t happen. His knee combined with the fact that Mac doesn’t have a developed rapport with him combined with the net negative effect it would ultimately have on the passing game. Just stay retired, Jules.

My first thought on reading this thread was "what media a-hole cooked this one up?".

Poor Deion, he should have known dozens of media a-holes would have run with such a statement, and it would get instantly shot down by Julian himself.

Didn't we do this with Wes Welker too? He was off coaching in college somewhere, someone said bring him back, he said naw I'm good.

Media manufactured manure, IMO.

11 back...what a wild game would be...

I go for it !

C'mon. You've been around far too long to turn mumblings of a former player and (worst of all) WEEI topical ramblings into a post here.

Edelman’s knee injury is basically Pedroia’s situation where every attempt to push through and come back is gonna make it worse. It’s not worth it.
