Mike Edwards released after limited playing time; requested release after trade attempt fails

Mike Edwards' tenure with the team was brief, as he initially joined on a one-year, $2.8M deal, but saw limited action with only seven defensive snaps in three games over the first nine weeks. Edwards was positioned behind Taylor Rapp, Damar Hamlin, and rookie Cole Bishop within the safety rotation. Following a failed attempt to trade him, the team released Edwards, noting that he requested the release. Despite interest in other players, Edwards' agreement ultimately did not translate into significant playing time.
