ESPN New York reports the Jets haven't "slammed the door shut" on adding another quarterback to replace David Garrard.
The free-agent market is barren, but one name that sticks out is Trent Edwards. Edwards was with new Jets OC Marty Mornhinweg in Philadelphia last season. Including the preseason, the 29-year-old completed over 68 percent of his passes and threw for four touchdowns. Edwards wouldn't be an option to start, but he knows the offense and could hold the clipboard for Geno Smith if the Jets are intent on dumping Mark Sanchez. May 18 - 11:13 AM

Eagles released QB Trent Edwards.

Edwards, 29, won the Eagles' No. 3 quarterback job last year after a fine preseason performance that saw him complete 67.5 percent of his passes for 489 yards and four touchdowns. Edwards has a career 75.5 quarterback rating over the course of six regular seasons, completing 60.6 percent of his passes for 6,033 yards, 26 scores, and 30 interceptions.
Apr 15 - 6:09 PM

Eagles signed QB Trent Edwards to a one-year contract extension.

He’s now signed through 2013. Edwards beat out Mike Kafka for No. 3 duties with an unexpectedly strong preseason, completing 67.5 percent of his passes for 489 yards and four touchdowns. He's behind Michael Vick and Nick Foles.

Trent Edwards has won the No. 3 quarterback job.

Mike Kafka opened training camp as the backup and ended it as a fourth-stringer on the trading block. Edwards won the job by completing 68 percent of his preseason passes and compiling a 100.5 passer rating. The Eagles will roll with three quarterbacks in part thanks to Michael Vick's recent injury woes.

Trent Edwards completed 22-of-32 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown to close out an impressive preseason against the Jets.

It's not like the Eagles to give up on any future trade value that Mike Kafka may possess, but Edwards has earned a roster spot. The veteran has completed 54-of-80 preseason passes (68 percent) for 489 yards and a 100.5 passer rating. Of his 18 preseason possessions, 12 ended in a score or a field-goal attempt. If Edwards doesn't make the team, it's not because of anything that happened on the field in August.

Trent Edwards had his mechanics adjusted this offseason to fit the Eagles' scheme.

Edwards struggled badly with the change, often missing throws in offense-only drills. He'll enter camp behind Mike Kafka and rookie Nick Foles. We wouldn't expect Edwards to crack the final roster.

According to the Courier-Post, Mike Kafka is "running away" with the Eagles' backup quarterback competition.

Per beat writer Geoff Mosher, Trent Edwards has struggled to make good throws "even in offense-only drills with no defense to obstruct him." Kafka, meanwhile, is said to be sporting a stronger arm after spending the offseason bulking up. With rookie Nick Foles locked in as the Eagles' No. 3 signal caller, Edwards might not last beyond the early days of camp.

Eagles QB Trent Edwards has "bulked up" this offseason, adding at least 10 pounds of (presumably) muscle.

It's surely an effort on the injury prone former third-round pick's part to make himself more durable, but 10 pounds of muscle is not the only thing that's been standing between Edwards and greatness. Depending on what the Eagles do in the draft, Edwards will either push Mike Kafka to be Michael Vick's backup or third stringer.
Tue, Apr 17, 2012 12:01:00 PM

Eagles agreed to terms with QB Trent Edwards on a one-year contract.

Edwards was out of the league last season after being released by Oakland in early September. GM Howie Roseman indicated Thursday that the Eagles would add competition for Mike Kafka as the primary backup, though we suspect Edwards won't be the only option. The injury-prone former Bills starter shouldn't be guaranteed a roster spot.

Free agent QB Trent Edwards visited the Eagles on Tuesday.

Edwards worked out for the Eagles two weeks ago; now he's taking a physical. A signing is likely imminent, though Edwards would still need to turn heads in training camp to make the 2012 roster.

Eagles worked out free agent QB Trent Edwards.

Edwards was out of the league for the entire 2011 season. The Raiders cut him at the end of training camp, and Edwards turned down an offer to join the Dolphins after Chad Henne's season-ending injury in October. The Eagles are looking for a veteran backup to Michael Vick. They can do better than Edwards.

Free agent QB Trent Edwards reportedly turned down an offer from the Dolphins this week.

Edwards was offered a deal after Tuesday's workout, but he turned it down because he didn't want to play for the Dolphins. Unlike the situation with David Garrard, money was not a factor. From what we've seen of Miami's front office, it's hard to blame Edwards. The Dolphins did end up with a better backup in Sage Rosenfels.

The Dolphins worked out free agent QBs Trent Edwards and Brodie Croyle on Tuesday.

The Fins are also in discussions with David Garrard and Jake Delhomme, as they seek insurance for Chad Henne's shoulder injury. If Henne's injury isn't season-ending, Garrard and Delhomme won't be options. Edwards and Croyle would be candidates to work in a backup role for a few weeks under that scenario.

Raiders released QB Trent Edwards.

Edwards has now been let go by teams starting Ryan Fitzpatrick, David Garrard and Jason Campbell, all within the past 12 months. He simply isn't an NFL-level talent, even as a backup.
Sat, Sep 3, 2011 10:13:00 PM

Raiders signed QB Trent Edwards to a one-year contract.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports he'll be Jason Campbell's backup, meaning Kyle Boller is either ticketed for the third string or free agency. With Jason Campbell hardly having a vice-grip on the starting job, there's a real possibility Edwards could see playing time this season. The Raiders will hope not, of course, because his check-down mentality rarely threatens defenses. Edwards has been injured every season of his football career dating back to high school and often looks afraid in the pocket.
