Lions waive Pat Edwards

[Mitchrapp]

Calvin, Fauria, Pettigrew, Durham, Reggie catching out of the back field, and Nate Burleson due back in a few weeks.... there just aren't enough passes even in a pass happy offense to fill everyone's quotas.

Don't get me wrong, having a threat like Nicks would be great, but unless Stafford is going to attempt 900+ passes again this season, I just don't see why we absolutely have to have one more receiver with the guys we have.

Would he be an upgrade? Yes. But is he absolutely necessary? No.

I'm all for making any trade that makes the team better, but this is a sticky wicket. If you give up two picks, or a higher pick, and he doesn't resign, you haven't made the team better long term.

Unless they know Nate won't be back in time to help a playoff push, you have to be conservative with what you give up to bring in a rental, or you have to make sure you lock that rental up with a rent-to-own option.

Passes or not, we need a legit 2. But you only do it, if its a sign and trade & we don't give up more than a 4th. Maybe throw in Leshoure. I'll even throw in my Leshoure jersey to sweeten the deal.

On a side edit: Edwards sucked.

Leshoure will only sweeten the pick for whoever picks him up.

If the 49'ers offer a 3rd, and we offer a 3rd plus Leshoure, then maybe that gets it done. But we sure won't be able to offer a 4th and Leshoure and beat out a 3rd.

LeShoure could play very well in NY, and he's a good fit for their scheme. The problem is he already has an injury history, and their O-Line is getting RB's killed this year, so whoever they bring in is short term cannon fodder at this point.

They'd be better off signing a guy like Hillis to a non-guarenteed one year deal and watching him be crushed in two weeks than taking on a guy with years left on his deal to suffer the same fate.

Edwards back on the practice squad. Let's all welcome him back as a Lion

I can't wait to talk about Edwards potential next offseason

I can see it now. Edwards steals #2 receiver spot, because he looks so impressive in practice. If he makes the 53 man roster next year atleast we will know from the get go that we still have no depth at wr

Glad we got him back, if he can grow a pair and attack the ball in the air he will be decent. On a side note Greenwood got cut by Dallas, when will he be back on the PS?

The fact he looked so impressive at practice should tell you something about our dbs.

I'm sure the circus will be back in town before you know it and Willis will make that one catch on a busted play and he will again be elevated to Follett stardumb.
