While some players are sitting around watching paint dry, Ray Edwards is out being a B-O-S-S. Edwards (1-0) is a defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings. Edwards has become a professional boxer and not a bad one either. He won his first fight on May 20th at Grand Casino Hinkley over T.J. Gibson, who was clearly over matched against this behemoth of a man. Edwards is hoping to get a new opponent and fight in before the lock out ends. Edwards has made it clear he doesn't want to return to the Vikings, but they retain his rights, so look for them to match most offers for him.
Why wouldn't we try to sign him again?? First of all, he is awesome. Very productive and he's clearly staying in tip top shape. Here's a guy who just throws on the boxing gloves after playing five straight years of professional football and beats someone who has been training their whole life. The Vikings need to sign him and have him play opposite of Jared Allen. This team was at its best when Allen and Edwards were both getting after the quarterback.
