In signing with the Saints on Mar. 15, Edwards joined his third team in as many years, after initially going to Oakland as the No. 35 overall pick in 2015 and spending his first three seasons with the Silver and Black. The Florida State product was mostly a starter with the Raiders (24 starts out of 30 appearances), but fielded just 21.2 percent of the defensive snaps while playing for the Giants in 2018, logging zero starts in 15 appearances. He hasn't yet delivered on the playmaking ability he exhibited during college, failing to exceed 3.5 sacks in any pro season, and averaging fewer than four tackles for loss per 16 games for his career.
