Mario Edwards Jr. Fantasy

The Seattle Seahawks signed free-agent defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. and Forrest Merrill to undisclosed deals on Monday. Linebacker Michael Ayers and defensive end Jacob Sykes were waived to make room on the roster. A former second-round pick in 2015 by the Las Vegas Raiders, Edwards will join his sixth NFL team after recording 17 tackles (11 solo), three sacks, four tackles for loss and 11 QB hits in 13 games (seven starts) for the Tennessee Titans in 2022. The 29-year-old has 19.5 career sacks in 99 games played (32 starts) over eight seasons. Merrill, 26, was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2021, and he's played in just one NFL season (four games).

The Seattle Seahawks have signed defensive end Mario Edwards to a one-year deal. The 29-year-old visited with the Seahawks in March, but didn't decide to sign until now. He has bounced around the league quite a bit since being drafted in the second round by the Raiders in 2015. Last season, Edwards recorded three sacks and a career-high 11 quarterback hits in 13 games (seven starts) with the Tennessee Titans. The expectation is that Edwards is going to be a rotational piece on the Seahawks d-line.

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed veteran free-agent defensive end Mario Edwards to an undisclosed deal on Sunday, according to a source. Edwards was recently released by the Chicago Bears after he recorded eight tackles (two solo), five QB hits and only two interceptions in 12 games (one start) last season. The 28-year-old pass-rusher was originally a second-round pick in 2015 by the Las Vegas Raiders out of Florida State. In his seven NFL seasons, Edwards has 118 tackles (84 solo), 16.5 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, 35 QB hits, four passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 86 games (25 starts). In the Jaguars improved defensive line, Edwards should serve in a rotational role in 2022.
