Edison

Edison scored 17 times on 64 grabs with a 15.1 YPC average as a senior. The small-school thing obviously was working against him and Edison is a project, but he has a vertical threat skill set at 6'2/204 with 4.47 wheels. The Titans are probably about ready to cut bait on Paul Williams.

Edison is a small-school project learning a complex offense for the first time. The Titans appear ready to cut bait on Williams, a 2007 third-round pick who just hasn’t progressed.

Tennessee’s had little success with mid- to late-round wideouts (see Chris Davis, Joel Filani, Paul Williams, Jonathan Orr) and Edison is a project out of Stephen F. Austin. For Edison’s sake, he’d be better off landing elsewhere.

The Titans were worried about losing Edison through waivers in early September, so they kept him on the final roster. They’ll add him to the practice squad if he squeaks through this time.

There’s no hope of sneaking him through waivers to the practice squad now. Edison caught an 8-yard TD from Vince Young and later added a 31-yarder from Patrick Ramsey. He’s locked up the fifth receiver role and could enter the season as high as No. 4 on the depth chart.

The Titans are thin at wideout with Justin Gage (back) out. Edison was the team’s sixth-round pick this season and is a raw project. It’s unclear how long Gage will be out.

Edison played five games with the Titans last season in his rookie year but failed to make a catch. He has nice athleticism, but the former sixth-round pick remains very raw.

It looks like the Titans will keep six receivers this year, with rookie Marc Mariani taking the final spot. Edison is a good bet for the practice squad, but it’s time to give up the ghost on 2007 third-rounder Williams.

The injury wasn’t disclosed. Edison was claimed off waivers from Seattle early in camp when the Cowboys were banged up at wideout. He’s no longer needed.
