Patriots | Julian Edelman talks potential comeback again Mon Jun 27, 12:11 PM
Retired WR Julian Edelman once again spoke about a potential return to the NFL. 'The amount of work I have to put into my body to train, to make me confident -- like, that's so much for the output because of the injuries, my knees, this, that. I'm not getting the same output,' Edelman said. 'So now that I've taken a year off and I'm not loading my body, compounding loads every single day, my body feels pretty straight, you know? I've gone and dabbled out and you go run routes. But then, you see when you run routes, the next day, like, all right, I'm not too bad, but I'm already like 10,000 reps behind I feel in my mind.' Edelman has previously said 'we'll see' when asked about a potential comeback and noted he would 'probably' play for the New England Patriots if he does return.
| Footballguys view: Edelman has talked about coming out of retirement a couple of times over the last month or so. We'll see if it actually comes to fruition and where Edelman winds up. We always thought he'd wind up with the Buccaneers to be reunited with QB Tom Brady, but staying with the New England Patriots is a possibility as well. First, let's see if Edelman does come out of retirement then we'll see where he goes. |

Patriots | Julian Edelman leaving the door open Wed Jun 15, 01:16 PM
Retired WR Julian Edelman isn't ruling out a return to the NFL in 2022, but notes that if he does come back it would 'probably' be with the New England Patriots. 'I don't know, we'll see,' Edelman said. 'We're staying in shape, but you never know. But I'd probably go back to the Patriots. I love the Patriots. Foxboro Forever.'
| Footballguys view: Edelman retired just a little over a year ago, and some thought he may wind up with the Buccaneers where he can catch passes from QB Tom Brady again. He's likely to stay retired, but it's interesting to hear that he's given a return a thought. |

NFL | Julian Edelman insists he's done Thu May 20, 01:54 PM
Retired WR Julian Edelman (Patriots) downplayed speculation that he will return to re-join former teammates Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski in Tampa Bay. 'I'm a one-team guy,' Edelman told NFL Network's Michael Irvin. 'My knees (are) breaking down, I'm not gonna sit here, you know, I got everything I wanted,' he added. 'I got three rings, played in a magical dynasty, with an unbelievable franchise coach, best quarterback of all time, like, yo, I'm not a greedy guy. I played to win, I played to compete, I don't need anything else to prove. I'm good with what I did, I left it all out on the field.'
| Footballguys view: Edelman is probably being tactful here when the reality is that his knee won't allow him to play to previous levels and the Bucs already have a surplus of quality wide receivers even with Antonio Brown's signing being put on hold because of knee surgery and the need to pass a physical. |

NFL | Julian Edelman announces retirement Mon Apr 12, 05:44 PM
Free-agent WR Julian Edelman (Patriots) announced his retirement from professional football Monday, April 12.
| Footballguys view: A converted quarterback from Kent State, Edelman was a seventh-round pick for the Patriots in the 2009 NFL draft. He played 11 seasons and finished his career with 620 catches for 6,822 yards and 36 touchdowns. He had health issues over the last two seasons and a failed physical designation led to the Patriots releasing him. There wouldn't be much of a market for his services, so Edelman decided to hang up his cleats. |

Patriots | Doubt surrounds Julian Edelman Thu Apr 8, 01:00 PM
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (knee) had surgery last fall to alleviate knee swelling and is planning on playing in 2021, but a source said Thursday, April 8, that Edelman's knee issue is chronic, and is believes it's 'doubtful' that Edelman will be able to play an entire season.
| Footballguys view: Let's watch this situation as the regular season draws near. Edelman is going to have to be managed in terms of what he does in the offseason and in practice during the week. Fantasy GMs can find better flex plays than an aging Edelman. |

Patriots | Julian Edelman uncertain about future Fri Feb 26, 03:25 PM
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman would like to play next season but does not know if he will be healthy enough to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He is recovering from a knee injury he suffered during the season.
| Footballguys view: Edelman may not be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. He's on the books with a cap hit of $6.1 million with $2.6 million remaining in dead money. The Patriots should keep him around but they might be tempted to move on and save some cap space. |

Patriots | Julian Edelman may return in 2021 Sat Jan 23, 09:29 AM

| Footballguys view: Edelman is under contract through the 2021 season. He's got a cap number of $6.6 million and there is $2.6 million remaining in dead money. Edelman is planning to play next season, but we'll have to see if the Patriots want to bring him back at that price. |

Patriots | Julian Edelman to stay on IR a bit longer Mon Dec 28, 04:35 PM
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (knee) is not expected to be activated in time to play in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, who also reports Edelman is unlikely to suit up for the regular-season finale versus the New York Jets.
| Footballguys view: It looks like Edelman's 2020 season is done with just six games played. He only caught 21 passes for 315 yards and zero touchdowns. Edelman is signed through the 2021 season and has a cap hit around $6.1 million next season. The Patriots could let Edelman go and have a dead cap charge next year of $2.6 million. |

Patriots | Still no practice for Julian Edelman Thu Dec 24, 12:54 PM
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 24.
| Footballguys view: A little over a week ago the Patriots designated Edelman to return from Injured Reserve. That opened up a 21-day window for the team to decide whether or not to activate him or shut him down for the season. He's not trending in the right direction for Monday's game against Buffalo. |

Patriots | Julian Edelman put on COVID list Mon Nov 30, 04:59 PM
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (knee) was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Nov. 30.
| Footballguys view: No word on whether or not Edelman tested positive for COVID or if he was just a close contact. Edelman hasn't practiced since October and he's still on IR with a knee injury. The Patriots move on with Jakobi Meyers, N'Keal Harry and Damiere Byrd as their top-3 wideouts. |

Edelman is now eligible to return to practice and open the 21-day window to be activated from the Reserve/Injured list, though Belichick did not indicate how soon they'd take that step.
| Footballguys view: Once Edelman can get back to practice, the Patriots will try to accelerate his recovery as much as possible. After this much time missed, it will be all about getting his conditioning where it needs to be. |

Patriots | Julian Edelman struggles in Week 6 Sun Oct 18, 05:17 PM
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman caught two passes for eight yards on six targets against the Denver Broncos in Week 6. He also completed two passes for 38 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Edelman was a bigger contributor as a passer than a receiver. He has looked worn out in recent games and we can't ignore his residency on the injury report as a reason why. He's no longer in starting consideration until we see a good result and might even be droppable in short bench legaues soon. |
