Agreed. Edelman is great, but it's not like they don't have an abundance of WR talent now.I'll be surprised if this doesnt look very team favorable.
I imagine he would also be a pretty solid analyst on TV. Funny, understands the game, obviously good-looking.Something tells me Edelman will have no issue with a team friendly deal. I think he'll be very comfortable finishing out his playing days in New England. He has his rings, (presumably) tens of millions in the bank, and seems to live a pretty fun lifestyle. Post football, he can always focus on burgertyme or "one nibble, everyone knows the laws"
He's earned just over $10 million for his career up to this point before taxes. He's not quite in "fuck you money" territory just yet.Something tells me Edelman will have no issue with a team friendly deal.

There's also value long term for him to stay with the Pats for the rest of his career. I think he recognizes that if he's not on the Patriots then JE11 and his Puma deal aren't income streams. On top of that, he'll be able to sell whatever cars or burgers he wants throughout New England for the rest of his life.Something tells me Edelman will have no issue with a team friendly deal.

Julian Edelman and Patriots reached agreement on a two-year extension that ties him to New England through 2019 season, per source.
I just loled on a plane. Well done.He's already got enough money for himself. This deal is to ensure the financial security of his mom. For his mom, bro.
The #Patriots 2-year extension for WR Julian Edelman that @MikeGarafolo reported is for $11M, source said. $9M in total guarantees.
I assume to get Edelman to sign now rather than dip his toe in the FA waters, they had to guarantee him more $. Smart move on his part given the number of quality WR on the squad now.My guess is something like 2 years $12 million with $4 million guaranteed.
Was thinking the same thingFound this interesting with Edelman and Welker going for an extension for their age 32+ seasons
Patriots to Welker in 2013: 2 years for $10mm with extra $6mm incentives
Patriots to Edelman: 2 years for $11mm with extra $4mm incentives
