mmmmmm
Now go sign a guy like Njoku and I’m content until draft time. Take a WR at 42 and the rest can be defense

PFF’s 34th ranked FA

The Bills’ offensive success may frequently rest on the shoulders of Josh Allen, but the pieces up front play a huge role in the equation. Edwards was a key contributor to Buffalo’s success both on the ground and through the air in 2025.
The 28-year-old guard is fresh off a career-best 75.0 PFF pass-blocking grade, a top-10 mark among qualifying guards.

You now can draft a high upside guard and let him develop behind Ruiz. I think we can get off his contract next season.

"sign the two best guards in the draft"

Not saying Edwards is an All Pro like Linderbaum and it’s a different position but still, surprised we got him at $15M
I thought he’d get 18-20 since he was the top guard in free agency with not much competition. So not a bad price for about where he ranks.

I love the Edwards signing. I didn't think he would get 20 mil a yr tho.
Edwards finished last season 10th in run block win rate among all interior O-linemen, joining McGovern in helping Cook to the rushing title. The former fourth-round pick also ranked 12th among guards in pass block win rate. PFF slotted Edwards 22nd among guards last season and has viewed him as a top-30 guard in each of his previous three starter seasons (2020, ’21, ’24). On a market not housing as many strong first-time UFA candidates at guard, the persistent blocker should benefit ahead of his 29th birthday.

Does this mean we can move the frick on from Ruiz?!
Considering the bigger hole is at LG and Ruiz is a RG, probably not.

ESPN grade

Saints sign G David Edwards
Terms: Four years, $61 million
Grade: A-
The Saints had a hole at guard and filled it with arguably the best one to hit free agency this year -- and at a reasonable price. Last season in Buffalo, Edwards ranked in the 83rd percentile in pass block win rate and 86th percentile in run block win rate among guards. That is all you need to justify this contract and then some. But the fact that Edwards, who will turn 29 this month, put up similar numbers in 2024 (76th percentile in both metrics) should bolster our confidence even more.
At just over $15 million per year, I think this is a bit of a bargain. Compare that to last year, when Aaron Banks was in the 41st and 29th percentiles in the two win rates and scored what would be a $20.8 million per year deal in the 2026 cap environment. Or Will Fries in the 56th and 83rd percentile, respectively, over five games in 2023 earning today's equivalent of $18.9 million per year. In relation to that, Edwards looks like a great deal.
He should take over the Saints' left guard spot, which was occupied by Trevor Penning (traded mid-season) and Dillon Radunz, a free agent. The Saints needed to improve their offensive line: they ranked 29th and 23rd in pass block and run block win rate, respectively. Edwards should help.
