The Jacksonville Jaguars signed veteran safety Terrell Edmunds on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The 2018 first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers spent last season with the Philadelphia Eagles before being traded to the Tennessee Titans in a package for All-Pro safety Kevin Byard. Through six NFL seasons with three teams, he has accumulated 458 tackles (310 solo), 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, six interceptions, and 28 passes defended in 95 games. Edmunds has not lived up to his hype as a prospect coming out of Virginia Tech, but he's a solid depth piece in the secondary and will likely play meaningful snaps as a reserve safety in 2024.
Philadelphia Eagles safety Terrell Edmunds has been traded to the Tennessee Titans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Edmunds, along with a fifth- and sixth-round pick, is the return for Kevin Byard as the Titans try to get a bit younger and stock up on draft capital. Byard was a key part of the team's defense, but now that they're 2-4 and at the bottom of the division, they'll look toward the future instead. Edmunds played for both the Steelers and Eagles and has racked up 438 combined tackles, 5.0 sacks, and five interceptions in his career so far.
The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a deal with free-agent defensive back Terrell Edmunds. He's a former first round pick who has spent the last five seasons as a starter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The expectation is that Edmunds is going to fill the vacant spot left by C.J. Gardner-Johnson who signed with the Detroit Lions. Edmunds is a durable and fairly reliable defensive back. He has played 15 games or more in each of his first five seasons. Edmunds isn't the best in pass coverage, but a serviceable option on a one-year deal.
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Terrell Edmunds (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4 versus the New York Jets. The 24-year-old had registered 12 tackles through the first three games. Miles Killebrew figures to see a bump in snaps while Edmunds remains in the league's concussion protocol.
The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed safety Terrell Edmunds to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million on Friday, according to a source. Edmunds will return to the only team he's called home after the Steelers took him in the first round (28th overall) in the 2018 draft out of Virginia Tech. He has played a key role in Pittsburgh's secondary the last four seasons, totaling 340 tackles (235 solo), 12 tackles for loss, seven QB hits, three sacks, five interceptions, 21 passes defensed and one fumble recovery in 64 games (60 starts). Edmunds should return to a similar role in 2022 after recording 89 tackles (63 solo), eight tackles for loss, one sack, two interceptions and six passes defensed in 17 starts last year.
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie strong safety Terrell Edmunds is expected to start in Week 1 against the Browns, which would be the second straight year that their first-round pick will start in a season opener.
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Virginia Tech safety Terrell Edmunds at No. 28 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. The Edmunds brothers out of Virginia Tech were both selected in the first round this year, which is pretty neat. Edmunds is a big, physical defensive back with a huge vertical. He plays best going downhill and can hit hard, but he also has range and can play in man-to-man coverage. Pittsburgh will like his physicality in the middle of the field to help their overall pass defense.
