Minnesota Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards is set to hit the free agent market this off-season as soon as the new league year begins.
The only problem is Edwards doesn’t know if he will be a restricted or unrestricted free agent. If he ends up restricted, he will be tendered at a certain price. Either way he knows he doesn’t want to make less then Brian Robison who signed a three-year, $14.1 million deal, which included a $6.5 million signing bonus.
“They put a first-round tender on me (1year, $2.8 million contract), but even if that holds up, there’s no way I will play for less than what my backup got in his new contract,” said Edwards, referring to . “There’s no way I would play here.”
No one is certain if Edwards will be back with the Vikings. But it’s clear that a team like the Atlanta Falcons would be interested in picking Edwards up as a free agent.
