Ray Edwards Gets Five-Year Deal From Falcons, According To Report

Edwards can’t officially sign the deal until Friday night at 6:00 p.m. (ET) and, according to the new labor deal, can’t practice until Aug. 4.

Edwards was one of the players who, if the 2010 season weren’t an uncapped year, would have been a free agent last year. He was the Vikings fourth round pick in the 2006 draft and has been waiting to get his long-term deal. Apparently, he now has it.
