Edge wants out of Arizona and at the Age of 30 his years are limited on were he van demand to go. With his agent being Drew Rosenhaus who loves dealing with the skins and of course another player from the "U" he would be a great fit in DC. I don't trust Ladell Betts with the football in a close game at all. Edge is very close to a lot of the faces of the franchise and I can just picture him backing up Portis!! Let me know what you all think or is this to far fetched?

Edge hasn't lost a step, he's lost like 4. And he also lost his job to a 5th round rookie from a division 1-AA school (Hightower- U. Richmond). He's older, more expensive, and would bring less to the table than plenty of other players out there. I think we'll either draft a mid-round RB or sign one through FA with limited mileage. Although then comes the problem with having 4 RBs on the 53 man...

Portis will be an old 28 next year. He's taken an absolute pounding on his body since joining the skins. I think he has a couple of good years left in him, but with Betts also pushing 30, adding another runner may be smart.
