Miami Signs RB Chase Edmonds 2 Year/$12.6 Million

[EDGECRUSHER]

$6.1 Million guaranteed.

I don't like paying for RBs but he had good numbers last year and will clearly be our 1A back. For now, I will trust McDaniel and think he knows how best to use this guy. So, running back is off the board on our list of needs.

EDIT: Apparently, he is a really good kick returner too in his limited time doing it.So, that helps our crappy special teams as well.

I wouldn't say RB is off the list of needs.  Edmonds is great for depth, and a decent receiver, but he's not the workhorse RB that Miami needs.  Miami needs a 1,000 yard rusher, and Edmonds isn't going to be that guy, unless the OL is miraculously the best in the NFL next year.

His stats are excellent in small doses. Talking about high on the leaderboards, but he won't rush 300 times in a season. That's okay though, I think we can work stuff out with the guys we have now or someone off the heap. RB is not where you spend big as Dallas now knows.

^^^ I'd be happy to get a guy that can rush 200 times a season.

That has to be a huge bonus in itself - Waddle is way to important a player to continue to risk on special teams duties.
