For the Ravens Flock, it was more than ceremonial paperwork—it was an emotional homecoming for a back who ran with grit, humility, and relentless consistency. Edwards, known for his bruising style and 230-pound frame, was never about flash. But when Baltimore needed tough yards, The Bus rumbled forward. His punishing north-south runs became a heartbeat of the offense and a chant that rolled through the stands on cold AFC North nights.

Undrafted in 2018, Edwards clawed his way onto the roster through sheer persistence and quickly embodied the Ravens’ smash-mouth identity—converting third-and-short, grinding clock in the fourth quarter, and wearing down defenses alongside Lamar Jackson. From 2018–2022, he averaged nearly 5.0 yards per carry, placing him among the league’s most efficient backs. His signature moments came in the grind-it-out wins: clock-killing drives in Pittsburgh, tackle-shedding sprints under primetime lights, and steady production when injuries ravaged the backfield.

Though roster moves and cap realities eventually took him elsewhere, Edwards’ heart never left Baltimore. Even in another jersey, he spoke of the Ravens as family and of Charm City as the place that gave him his shot.

Gus was the embodiment of Ravens football,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “Tough, reliable, humble—he gave everything for this team and this city. He’ll always be a Raven.”

For Ravens fans, the one-day contract is more than closure—it’s recognition of years of bruising carries and a warrior’s spirit. Edwards’ retirement cements a legacy written not with headlines, but with heart and hard yards.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
