A day after bidding adieu to Pittsburgh, Terrell Edmunds has come to terms on a one-year deal with the Eagles on Friday, according to NFL Media. A 2018 first-round pick, Edmunds started in 77 of his 81 games with the Steelers. 

 

An extremely durable player, Edmunds enjoyed a steady progression in his play during his time as the Steelers' starting strong safety. He leaves Pittsburgh with five career interceptions, 26 passes defensed, 410 tackles and five sacks. Edmunds was a solid complement to free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who blossomed into an All-Pro-level player while playing alongside Edmunds. 

While he never became a Pro Bowler in Pittsburgh, Edmunds developed into a quality starter who helped the Steelers make the playoffs during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. 

 

"Just constantly getting better, just keeping that same drive and same energy," Edmunds told CBS Sports last November when asked about what he is most proud of since coming into the NFL. "And still enjoying the game. Some people, they lose their love of the game after a while, but I continue to love the game even more. All of the adversity, all of the ups and downs, it just makes you love the game even more." 

 

It’s hard to not really really like this move! He’s a good starter who’s durable and who is at the very good competent and I think has higher upside than that.

This certainly takes away any pressure to reach in the draft. I can still see us taking a safety high if one falls to us. But we don't need to reach or take one at all.

This is something that Howie is really good at I think. He’s good at bringing in FAs to take away the need to reach in the draft.
