rajncajn Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I think this is from KFFL, I got it from another board Chargers | Edwards' trade talks off for nowFri, 25 Aug 2006 05:41:00 -0700 Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports trade talks between the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints concerning Chargers' LB Donnie Edwards have broken off. The Saints are the only suitor to have contacted the Chargers. Sources also said that Edwards and Chargers' general manager A.J. Smith spoke recently in a meeting requested by Edwards. In that conference, Edwards asked Smith to let him go to New Orleans. The Saints would only offer a fourth-round draft pick for Edwards. The Chargers contacted the Saints and said they would take a third-rounder in exchange for Edwards, but New Orleans held firm. Edwards pulled up lame in the Chargers' second practice on the first day of training camp and has not practiced since. He has in the past week appeared on the verge of returning to practice but has yet to do so. Head coach Marty Schottenheimer has said Edwards will be the starter if he is healthy.

rajncajn Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'd love to see this get done, but I really hope the Saints stick to their guns. At worst I don't think they should give anything more than a 4th & a PR/KR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
