Man some of you are silly.
Who do you want to sign to be our dimeback/nickelback? Ty Law?
Edwards is our #4 CB, hes not starting opposite of Madison.
We DONT HAVE a dimeback on the roster once we trade Surtain. Mario is a vet guy and although he cant cover the Chris Chambers of the NFL, he should be able to cover the Bryan Gilmore's of the NFL. He isnt our starting CB and he was the best option LEFT out in the free agent market for a dimeback. We signed him for 1 year. Theres no such thing as a bad sign for a year. He is a temporary fix for our hole at the dimeback position.
If we didnt sign him, we would have Jimmy Wyrick or Alphonso Roundtree as our dimebacks..... for those of you who are SOOO against Edwards, who is your dimeback next year? Also, because of the holes we have on this team, you cant go into the draft expecting to get a CB also. Edwards was a good signing.
