There’s something to be said for going back to where people know you the best. It’s something 2-time Super Bowl champion safety Mike Edwards has done several times in his NFL career and will do again in 2025.
Edwards signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on April 3 after starting 5 games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024. It’s the second stint with the Chiefs for Edwards, who won a Super Bowl with them following the 2023 season. Edwards was also on his second stint in Tampa Bay — he spent the first 4 seasons of his career with the Buccaneers and was part of their Super Bowl winning team following the 2020 season.
“Edwards, 28, has spent most of his career with the Buccaneers, and appeared in five games with two starts for the club in 2024,” Pro Football Talk’s Myles Simmons wrote on April 3. “But he also played for the Chiefs in 2023, winning Super Bowl LVIII. He recorded 51 total tackles, five passes defended, and an interception for Kansas City that season. Edwards has played 83 games with 30 starts for the Bucs, Chiefs, and Bills. He’s tallied 27 passes defensed with eight picks.”
Edwards, who has $11.2 million in career earnings, was a man on the move in 2024. He started the season with the Buffalo Bills before spending time with the Tennessee Titans and eventually landed in Tampa Bay.
