Scott Bair of SB Nation\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/hogshaven.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hogs Haven<\/a>, covering the Washington Commanders, told the \u2018Valentine\u2019s Views\u2019 podcast that Edmunds \u201ccould really be beneficial to the Giants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Bair is the new head honcho at Hogs Haven, but spent the previous two seasons covering the Chicago Bears for the Marquee Sports Network. Edmunds, entering his ninth NFL season, spent the last three years with the Bears.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cHe is all of 6-6, man. He is huge and long and really smart,\u201d Bair said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cHe\u2019s a really good MIKE linebacker, quick processor. A guy that I think can blitz. And, even though he\u2019s a big dude he can he can swallow tight ends. I think that was a really interesting addition. I think that\u2019s going to be a guy that\u2019s going to serve the Giants defense well, especially when he\u2019s paired with a young player. Could be a really dynamic setting there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Edmunds, 28, is paired with Arvell Reese, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Edmunds is listed at 6-foot-4, 251 pounds though Bair says he is bigger than that. Reese is listed at 6-4, 243. The Giants are hoping that duo will help fortify their run defense and clog passing lanes in the middle of the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Bair referred to Edmunds as a \u201cgood individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI don\u2019t think the Bears wanted to part with him, but it was a finance thing. He does make a lot of money,\u201d Bair said. \u201cBut, he is so long that and he gets to balls that a lot of guys aren\u2019t going to get to because not only is he 6-6, but he\u2019s got a massive wingspan \u2026 a guy that\u2019s been to the puppet show and seen the strings, a guy who gets it, and who could really be beneficial to that defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Bair was on the show to discuss Washington\u2019s offseason.
