Edwards really hasnt played fullback or wingback this year. Hes mostly played as the right CB in a 3 man backline both seasons he was here.Lol what a joke of a window. So a wash at RB, another project attacker and a dude off waivers from bloody Houston.

It should also be noted that Edwards partner is pregnant and back in England. He mentioned that on the Lade Out podcast (which is pretty awful btw). That could be a factor, in addition to wanting to play for Stoke.

Struber says Edwards' absence "is a problem" but that the team has to respect his personal reasons for being away from the club.
We all knew Edward's top priority would be playing for Stoke if he thought it was a possibility, so this shouldn't come as a shock. I was just hoping they'd let him see out the entire season.

I listened to the interview, someone asked if he is officially gone or coming back. Struber said something like this: It is a difficult question. He is away now, we have a problem without him. We have a contract with him, but he is not available right now for personal reasons, also for the next weeks.
What does that actually mean? Probably he wants to be back with Stoke and just left, giving his child being born soon as the reason. Once the child is born, it feels like Struber still thinks he might come back, not ready to admit otherwise yet.

Weve upgraded right back or RWB with Duncan over D. Nealis & Harper, the two primary options in those positions recently. The question is, is Reyes and Edwards a push? I dont know, Reyes will need to stay heathy before we can even answer that.
So? We have the roster space for all of them. In a 3 man backline, being able to roll out Reyes/Long/Edward with Tolkin and Duncan as wingbacks is a hell of a backline. In a 4 man backline, Edwards is a really solid RB. Instead, Dylan Nealis will be the depth at RCB and RB.

We need this guy back. The team just fell apart the moment he left.

He is gone for good, Struber said he is not expecting him back now. We knew it really, but this is the first time Struber acknowledged it. Big loss, and reinforcements are not on the way. The only chance for improvement at this time is perhaps Ngoma returning, which Struber said will not be soon.

Reminds me of a young Billy Crystal watching Shane with Billie Holiday. As Brandon deWilde calls Shane's name, Billie says, "He ain't never coming back."
