Some Think Chiefs Will Put A Claim In On Former Bills QB Trent Edwards
by Joel Thorman on Sep 27, 2010 8:44 PM CDT
in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

The Buffalo Bills on Monday released QB Trent Edwards, a 2007 third round pick.
Since Edwards is not a vested veteran, he now hits the waiver wire meaning 31 other teams will get a crack at acquiring him (and his current contract). He's still young and completed over 65 percent of his passes in 14 starts his second year in the league.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen has come up with a tally of teams he thinks may make a claim on Edwards.
Two NFL executives told ESPN's Chris Mortensen they believe Edwards will be claimed on waivers by 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks are among the teams expected to put in a claim.
Kansas City does make sense with the Chiefs only carrying two active quarterbacks in Matt Cassel and Brodie Croyle. We know GM Scott Pioli likes to have a project quarterback on the roster and I'm not sure if Tyler Palko (practice squad) qualifies there.
Here's a look at Edwards career stats. There are positives in there and I think his name is intriguing.

Interesting
Where are we on the waiver wire? At 3-0 it would have to be pretty high, but I wouldn’t be against bringing in a 3rd quarterback. If Jacksonville and Carolina want him, he won’t make it to KC though.
Cassel got roughed up last week and given Brodie’s injury history and Palko’s inadequacies, we could use the depth. I think Edwards still has some potential and this would be a low-risk move.
I thought it changed throughout the year
Based upon current performance and waivers claimed

I guess it wouldn't be bad.
Definitely an upgrade over Palko and Brodie is near the end of his contract.
One of my closest friends is a line long Bills fan
And he hates hates hates Edwards.
I’m going to have to ask him exactly why, as I haven’t followed the guy that closely. But if we claim him, I’m sure he’ll laugh directly in my face about it.
Of course, if we polished him up and turned him into a stud, I’d get the last laugh.
Chiefs - back in the playoffs in 2011.
Lets see
STL – Bradford, #1 draft pick this year on QB
Det – Stafford, #1 draft pick last year on QB
Tampa Bay- Freeman, First round draft pick on QB last year (17th overall
don’t see any of them taking him because they have their young guys, Washington at 4 could if they want a backup. I think KC is a real shot at taking him at 5.
Chris Mortenson quote:
The Kansas Chiefs will be interested in QB Trent Edward because current Chief QB Donnovan Huard and Tyson Thigpen haven’t been able to move the ball inspite having talented recievers like Tony Gonzales and Eddie Morton

Mark Cassel will be looking over his shoulder
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Brodie's out of here at the end of the season anyways, isn't he?
i think edwards has a lot of upside and at the very least is a good back up option.
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
If KC wants him, I think they can get him.
Not sure if he’s really worth a roster spot when we can just call Palko off the Practice Squad. But, I don’t see a reason NOT to do this. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
Chiefs 2010 Prediction: 8-8
yeah doesn't he have to go on the active roster if claimed off waivers

You are correct
We can try to waive and re-sign one of our younger guys to the PS after they clear waivers if we want to though.
My guess is Jackie Bates or Jeremy Horne and probably booting Palko from the PS. No one will sign Palko anyway, and he can always be signed back to the PS if one of our QBs goes down.
Can we just Sign Snake Pliskon instead?
He will lead us from the Wilderness and then fade away when we are in the Promised Land.

Even if we could put him on the practice squad
I’m pretty sure he’s not eligible because of the number of games he’s been active.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made. ~ Groucho Marx
I'd like to see him here, just for the competition
He’s got more starting experience than Brodie (I think?), and at the very worst he can be our third QB. I’m sure we can find someone to kick off the roster for him.
Doubt we'll take him
just because of the shot to the confidence Cassel would take. He finally has a decent week, and we go get someone to nip at his heels? Sends a bad message, and Haley/Pioli are all about the message.
Besides that, I wouldn’t mind having him. The Bills are just so explosively stupid all of the time.

by Chief TigerGator on Sep 27, 2010 9:19 PM CDT reply actions
Most teams carry three QBs
I don’t think Cassel would see it that way. If anything it will motivate him to step his game up.
I really don't think Edwards is goin to give Cassel a run for his money
I mean…really?

I don't think he will either

Not if you're bringing him in as a backup.
He’d probably only be 3rd string, in fact, the rest of the year. Next year he could move to 2nd string, if the team decides not to re-sign Croyle and/or he decides to move on.
At this point
I think us signing Croyle is beyond our control. Some other NFL team is going to offer him more of an opportunity and he’ll jump all over it. Still, I hope we bring him back, he’s easily one of the better backups in the league

Agreed.
That’s what I suggested earlier, when I said I wouldn’t be surprised if some team gives him an opportunity to
competefor a starting job. He’s hit his ceiling in KC, in all likelihood, so I agree that he’s probably gone next year. All the more reason why I like the idea of bringing in Edwards, if they can.

I like him, but we haven't activated Cox once.
it’s hard to rationalize keeping a second FB when we only use a FB about 10 plays a game in the first place. My guess is he’ll get cut if we claim Edwards
Cut Cox?

If they decide to go with the circumcision we could always have it reversed.
I don’t think he signs with another team and could probably pick him back up if Castille gets hurt.
Meh, might as well...
Edwards is surely better than Palko.
I would support this.
He could be really good with support….and good Weis coaching.

A third round pick doesn't have a big contract.

idk how i feel about this
On one hand the Bills badness may have rubbed off on him permanently, on the other, maybe a Bills first stringer could be a third stringer here. Maybe if he works hard.
A little sarcasm. I think I would rather us not take him at this point though.
Good move.
At first, I was thinking, why do we want to bring in someone who has had no success? But, hell, for the price we could get him at, why not? Now, as long as they don’t get a stiffy and give him $63 million, I’ll be happy.

How does the waiver wire work?
Does it go by last year’s records, or this year’s current records?
I would assume it goes by current records, in which case, I think he’ll be gone before the Chiefs get their shot at him.
Joel said it goes by draft order right now...
Playoffs are a REAL possibility in 2010...just need few tweeks here and there.

Does anyone remember the Chiefs/Bills game in 08?
Edwards went off on us for 24 of 32, 273 yards, and 2 TDs and then ran another 6 times for 38 yards and an additional 2 touchdowns. Granted our defense was atrocious that year, but with only 2 QBs on the roster I’d bring him in for a look.

you will thank them for it down the line with a solid performance…
watch schaub go down, watch vick get traded and we face him twice a year in oakland or something…fact is tebow was a 1st rounder, its something we had to consider…I think it played into it, and now he is reps, and knows our system so hes secure for the year.

I wanna see this get done
This will be our last week at #5 on the waiver wire. Edwards, while embattled, will be the best player we see on the waiver wire this week because every team has already played their games, assessed their talent, and had a day of practice. And it’s not like anyone in the CHI v. GB game is on the chopping block.
I would welcome the move. Best case scenario he turns into a stud under Weis and we have a free option at QB. Worst case scenario, we bring him in realize he sucks and cut him.
It would almost be a waste of our last high waiver claim NOT to pick him up

But we aint picking up other peoples cut either.

Why wouldn't we pick up other people's cuts?
We have before, and Haley has said they’ll always be scouring the waiver wire, regardless of their record.
Regarding the wildcat, I think it can be effective in small doses, but I don’t think it would work as a regular part of our offense. There’s only so much you can do when there is virtually no pass option.
in a pinch means to fininsh a game

While we might not NEED him right now, I can see your point.
In the case that Cassel might go down, Brodie is probably only sturdy enough to last a few games. I don’t know much about Palko but I do know from what I saw in the offseason I’m not excited at all.
Then again, Mortenson likes to say things like craig “quoted” above hehe.
If anything, he’s a solid backup that we might be able to use as trade bait in a few weeks if someone’s starter goes down.

i was at the game against the Ravens in Baltimore to start the year last year
Brody looked pretty darn good and he got hit pretty hard too. I think he’s a good back up- and his history probably keeps anyone from signing him in FA to a starters contract. I’m guessing we keep him as number 2. I would think Pioli would want to draft his own project QB as a #3.

My girlfriend and I constantly argue about Brodie. She thinks he’s worthless and will fall apart after a few good hits. While that might be the case he is pretty talented if he can stay healthy. I actually like him as a 2nd string QB and if we had a solid project 3rd stringer, I’d be happy (assuming Cassel continues to do well).
he played decent
when he finished out the year…no wins but finished the season…he can be good he just needs the starts, i dont think he will get them here though (barring injury)

Exactly.
I’m a big Croyle fan, but people seem to think he just started getting hurt as a Chief. The only reason he was still available when the Chiefs drafted him was because of his history with injuries. At some point, you have to stop writing off all his injuries as flukes or because of the OL or whatever. He just doesn’t have the body type to take that kind of pounding.
hey maybe hes meant to be on the sidelines, the backup QB plays a huge role for some teams, and according to haley croyle did this past weekend...he may be our clipboard guy...nothing wrong with making a living like that

He’s a big, smart, talented QB. He’s definitely floundered in Buffalo, but so has anyone else who’s tried to play offense there. As long as he ends up more like Trent and less like TrINT, fine.

You might want to check your facts on Applewhite
He made a roster, but decided he’d rather move on with what he knew would be a successful NFL career than be a backup. There’s a big difference between that and just plain not cutting it, because it’s a choice he, not his team, made.
And Edwards definitely understands the game. Has he lit it up so far? No, but he’s been decent at times, and the fact is that the Bills are as dysfunctional an organization as there is in football right now.

Your burnt orange name
gives away your bias twords Applewhite.
I really don’t care what the guy said in the press. The NFL would have eaten him alive. I watched him play every game he played in college too. I live in Texas after all. -
The only way you can see Applewhite as a success in the NFL is through burnt orange colored glasses.
Which is the same way Trent Edwards ‘looks decent at times’.
Applewhite had it all upstairs in college, but he didn’t have the kind of physical skills that the NFL would have required. Which makes him a good choice as a coach. And Edwards has physical skills for sure, but he doesn’t have the brains for reading defenses and going through progressions in the NFL; which is why people call him Captain Checkdown.
The Powers Of Astute Observation Are Often Mistaken As Cynicism By Those That Do Not Posses Them -- G.B. Shaw
BS
I’m speaking in terms of facts, and you’re giving opinions. It’s not my opinion that Applewhite made an NFL roster and chose to walk away in order to pursue what has been a quick rise in the field of coaching. That’s a fact.
What is an opinion, however, is your editorial bias, and the fact that you picked out Applewhite anyway is a sign that you were trying to pick a fight. Next time you do that, get your facts straight, and use them—not your bias—as the basis for your statements.

Of course it's an opnion. It's a blog comment.
the fact that you picked out Applewhite anyway is a sign that you were trying to pick a fight.
“Texas Chief” – Yes, i picked a guy that used to play for a college team in the same state that I live in and watch football in to pick a fight. I went to UT Austin for 1 year to do some continuing education work, and my sister graduated from UT Austin with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Sorry, your statement holds no water.
I picked Applewhite to illustrate a point, not to pick a fight. Yes, he is doing well as a coach, and he made an NFL roster (Jamarcus Russel and Chris Sims made rosters too). That doens’t prove much of anything.
He ‘chose’ to walk away to pursue a coaching career? Well, yeah he did. That is a fact. Hoewever, why don’t you mention WHY he chose to walk away? He had the opertunity to make an NFL roster, to make millions of dollars, to reach fame superstar status (if he could become a good/great NFL QB). He could have set himself and his family for life for generations if he lives up to all that college potential. He didn’t even think that would happen.
I have NO PROOF of this statement, but it would not shock me at all. Someone, somewhere along the way talked to Applewhite about cocahing. You don’t try to convince a future NFL star to give it all up and go into coaching. If YOU feel that you really have the chance to become a future NFL star, you don’t give it all up to go into coaching. FIRST you take your shot as a player; THEN you fall back on coaching.
Applewhite didn’t do that. Which tells me that for some reason he gave it all up to coach. (And coach well I hope). Someone (maybe even himself) didn’t believe in him, and convinced him that his opertunity lay in coaching, not playing.
Edwards is an Ivy league graduate. He’s obvioulsy a smart guy (at least book smart). But based on what he has shown on the field as Captain Checkdown, he doesn’t hold a candle to Applewhite’s football mind. Even though he was an Ivy leaguer, he still struggles badly with reading coverages and going through progressions. He has physical tools for sure, but for one reason or another; he’s never gotten his mind right for the NFL. It might be the speed of the game. It might be the complexity of NFL defenses. It might be the complicated playbooks. Whatever the reason… he doens’t seem to have the brain for the NFL QB position.
The discussion is about Edwards, not Applewhite. Applewhite was just a good example, that I assumed you would be familiar with.. of a guy that had the brains, but not the ability. It was ment to counter the idea that Trent has the ability, but not the brains.
And.. as I said in my origional comment, before you took so much offense to someone saying things other than completely GLOWING about Applewhite….

Yeah it is
I hate bye week. My in-laws are all Raiders fans. Maybe I can watch them squirm as they witness another loss. :)

Why not do what Detroit did a month ago?
Claim him and trade him. There are obviously teams that desperately need a QB so he’s got to be worth at least a 6th or 7th rounder. And if no one bites then we have a 3rd QB who’s a project and we dump him whenever if he doesn’t work out.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Can't remember who Detroit did that with but it wasn't an ex starting QB
With a decent resume at a time when QBs are needed badly by at least 2 teams.

young guy with starting experience is pretty valuable
Plus he was playing in Buffalo. It was surprising but I believe there is something else going on there.

If anyone could get a 6th or 7th rounder for him, Buffalo would have done it instead of cutting him
Trent Edwards is the cast off of a terrible football team. Let the guy go. If he clears waivers and we still want him then we can sign him for 2 bags of cheetoes and a case of Diet Coke, and put him on the practice squad. No use waisting an active roster spot, not even for 1 week,

Haha!
Not sure exactly how the rules work? If we claim him off the WW do we have to use an active roster spot? If we wait till he clears we can put him on PS?
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
not Practice squad eligible
he’d take a roster spot til we cut him

But the good news...
is that he wouldn’t count towards the 45 man game day roster, even though the Chiefs could still use him in an emergency.
very true
could be the emergency QB, most squads have em

He has to go to the active roster because he isn't PS eligible at all and even if he was we would have to AR him.
The bye week gives us alot of time to shuffle the players around though without having to worry about who’s on our AR this weekend.

He's not PS eligible.
And just because he was cut it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have value. Again this same situation happened not a month ago with a guy who was even more cuttable then Edwards and was worth something. Pioli could even plan the deal before he claims him for that matter. One call to Carolina and see if they want to risk waiting past Jacksonville to pick him up.

He's not practice squad eligible right not....
… but…
if no one claimed him off waivers then he becomes a free and clear man without a job.
At which point he would be practice squad eligible.
Which is the whole point of my comment in the first place.

With so many teams hurting at QB, that's not going to happen.
Heck, the Bears tried to lure Trent Green and Damon Huard out of retirement.
Yeah, but the Chiefs aren't one of those teams.
And Trent is just not that valuable to us.
At most he’s replace Palko as the 3rd stringer.
I would not be willing to give up much of anything just to swap out my 3rd string QB for a guy that’s not done anything worth mentioning as a QB even when given the starting job. – Not even a roster spot.
If someone else takes him… more power to him.
If he’s still sitting around after the waiver claims are over… then we can get him for exactly what he’s worth… nothing.

My point is that he's not going to clear waivers to get to the PS.
And he may be valuable to the Chiefs next season, if Croyle moves on at the end of his contract. Palko is not a viable backup. Edwards has had at least some success at the NFL level.
thats true. I hope Croyle knows that hes a career clipboard guy though.
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
He's a competitor.
He’s never going to fully embrace that role. And I’m not sure I’d want him if he did. It’s one thing to be a team guy; it’s another to have no desire to play.
helps that we have a bye, tomorrow is a day off of practice, and we have a roster full of unknowns
we could bring him in, cut a fringe player and see what he’s got. He’s only on a third round contract and this is our last week at the top of the Waiver wire. Since we can’t lose next week we’ll move to the bottom of the wire.
If he’s worth the third QB spot great, if not I’m sure the guy we cut will still be there at the end of the week

Good point
Might as wll give the guy a shot. We’d only have to cut somebody from the 53 that doesn’t make the game day roster. We’d be able to have him as the silent 46th man, allowing us to carry all the same game day players we’ve been using. And I think his physical tools are very similar to Cassel; so if he does need to step in, the offensive game plan won’t change much.
at least we have something to talk about besides Uncle Charlie's gall bladder
