Mike Edwards Fantasy

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Free-agent safety Mike Edwards plans to sign with the Chiefs on a one-year, $3 million deal. The 26-year-old was selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay, where he played the last four seasons. During that time, he amassed 184 total tackles, seven interceptions, and two sacks (58 games). Kansas City lost Juan Thornhill to the Browns via free agency, so the team needed a replacement. While Edwards isn't as productive as Thornhill, he's an upgrade over the other options on the roster.

With safety Jordan Whitehead now on the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Mike Edwards is expected to get the first crack at replacing him as a starter opposite Antoine Winfield this year. Logan Ryan and newcomer Keanu Neal will give head coach Todd Bowles the opportunity to show multiple looks in the secondary, including a dangerous dime package using Neal and other wrinkles in third-down situations. If a fifth safety were to make the final roster, it would be between second-year pro Troy Warner and undrafted rookie Nolan Turner. Edwards has proven to be a ball hawk in his three seasons with Tampa, recording five interceptions (two touchdowns) in 45 games played (11 starts), but he'll have to hold off Ryan by playing well early on.
