A two-year contract extension between Baltimore and Edwards has been agreed upon, keeping him under contract until 2023. The two-year contract is for $10 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
With 10 career rushing touchdowns and an average of 5.2 yards per carry during his three seasons in Baltimore, Edwards has been a valuable running back. Edwards was an undrafted free agent who entered the league in 2018.
He produced 718 yards in 2018, 711 yards in 2019, and 723 yards in 2020 with a career-high six touchdowns.
Edwards has contributed a strong inside running element as a starter and backup to Baltimore’s rushing offense, which has been the best in the NFL for the past two seasons.
Along with quarterback Lamar Jackson’s explosive running skills, Baltimore’s ground assault is anticipated to be led by J.K. Dobbins and Edwards.
With contracts in place for Dobbins and Edwards for the following three years, Baltimore’s run-heavy offensive strategy will have a reliable backfield pair for many years to come.
Edwards has grown as a receiver out of the backfield and is also a willing blocker.
