Edwards Jr.

Edwards was suspended for violating the league’s substance abuse policy but can now rejoin the team ahead of Week 11’s game against the Cowboys. Edwards has totaled 18 tackles and two sacks in the six games he’s appeared in this season. He should resume his role as a starter along the interior now that he’s back.

The Texans just got Denico Autry back from suspension and Edwards will now take a seat, probably replacing him on the exempt list for the Texans. Edwards had two sacks and eight solo tackles while playing 59 percent of Houston’s defensive snaps in six games.

Edwards, 30, a former second round draft pick by the Raiders, is a good fit for Houston’s 4-3 defense. Last year in Seattle, Edwards had 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He has 156 career tackles, 21.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and six pass deflections over his nine NFL seasons.

Edwards visited with the Seahawks in March and finally signs post-draft. He started seven games for the Titans last year, picking up three sacks and a career-high 11 quarterback hits. Edwards will be a depth piece on the defensive line and likely will be limited to situational pass-rushing duties.

Edwards was cut by the Bears just one season into a three-year deal at the end of training camp last year. He was then scooped up by the Bears a few weeks after the season started. Edwards appeared in 13 games for Chicago, seven of which were counted as starts. He totaled three sacks and four TFLs. If he lands in Seattle, it will likely be as a backup.

Edwards was cut by the Bears at the end of training camp after signing a three-year, $11.55 million contract in March 2021. Edwards was signed to the Jaguars practice squad after being released but is now heading to the Titans’ active roster. Since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2015, Edwards has managed 16.5 sacks while playing for six different teams. He’s nothing more than a depth signing for the Titans at this point.

Edwards was one season into a “three-year” deal. Heading into his age-28 season, Edwards managed only two sacks in 12 games/212 snaps in 2021.

Edwards will be brought back after playing last season on a one-year deal. The pass-rush specialist had a career high four sacks while getting 24 percent of snaps in Chicago’s defensive line rotation. Edwards is suspended the first two games of 2021 for violating the PED policy, but he could take on a larger role with Roy Robertson-Harris a free agent.

The deal comes a day after Edwards was released from the Saints. 26-year-old Edwards had three sacks on 293 snaps last season. He’ll be part of the defensive line rotation in Chicago.

Edwards spent one season in New Orleans, compiling 3.0 sacks and eight tackles across 14 games. He reportedly is a practice squad candidate assuming he isn’t signed elsewhere. Edwards is just rotational depth.
