I like Edwards a lot but compelled to note a lot of these are because hes giving up a ton of completions in coverage

Lol. Almost all of them are on good defenses except for TJ
Aren't his other stats pretty close to Roquan as well? Like yes, Roquan is (now) considered elite, but the Bears got their whole linebacking core for around the same price, maybe $2 million less? Unless i'm just really stupid here.
No they were not the same money wise: Roquan $20m, Edmunds $18m, Edwards $6.5m.
This is false if we're going by the size of the contract. Our starting 3 LB's total contracts value are less than Roquan's.
And a draft pick that they used for Tyler Scott.
Don’t forget that Roquan has played one more game than TJ. He played Thursday night so TJ could def pass him.
I’m WAY happier with his signing than I am with Edmunds’
Edwards has been good all year. Unfortunately he seems to just get lumped in with Edmunds because of similar name, position, signing day
When you're on the field that much, it's hard not to be on this list
Edwards has been a great signing and great value.
This is a function of having a bad offense that puts our defense on the field more?
Not that he isn’t a good LB. Just can explain why he’s 3rd
Roquan is in a scheme better suited to him. Edwards has been great and a tremendous value. Edmunds has been disappointing so far and has not played like a $20M player, which is the real issue.
I’ll welcome the downvoted but i know i’m right. We’d be a lot better with roquan than edmunds, dexter, and that extra 2 million. Like a LOT better
Again, total tackles is not an accurate measure of how good a LB is.
See: Blake Martinez
Edwards is a good player, but it doesn't change the fact tackles aren't the best stat.
And Ravens played Thursday night so Edward’s will probably have another 10 tackles Sunday…
Crying Roquan fans incoming. Almost like they both can be good and one doesn’t take away from the other.
Imagine a world where Roquan stayed AND we signed Edwards. I’m still hopeful that Edmonds can be elite when fully healthy and with a better pass rush, but so far he’s been pretty underwhelming for us
First down!!!
I am not qualified to be critical. People wanna give criticism towards Poles only to sound smart. He's criticized for passing on Carter and taking Wright and don't have the same means or depth of evaluation Carter was just misssunderstood leaving a story with something in a bag without paying.. A wise engineer told me once it's better To keep your mouth shut and let people think you don't know what you're talking about then it is to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Says more about the D-line playing bad earlier in the season, but I still think Edwards is solid
I honestly think Edwards and Sanborn, as we’re seeing, would have been all we needed. Somebody else could have filled in at Sam, they’re on the field 1/3 of the time anyway.
Roquan is only first right now because he played Thursday. Edward’s has been 1 or 2 most of the season.
To be fair, we have been a game ahead of a lot of teams much of the year because our BYE is so late.
Are you even a Bears fan??
I still think we can beat the Lions. You know. In theory. Any given Sunday?
Wow that guy in the first spot is really good. Maybe should get him
He only needs 12 combined tackles to make the Bears top 10 list for tackles in a single season (tracked since 1994.) He is chasing Brian Urlacher's 123 from 2007. He is on pace to shatter the team record (currently 163 by Roquan Smith in 2021.)
All this means is we won’t pay him and he’ll leave
He gets a lot of tackles but sucks in the pass game. Still a good WILL if edmunds wasn't a disappointment.
