Eagles, Vikings Have Trade In Place For Edwards?

Last week, Bob Grotz of The Delaware County reported the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to try to sign Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end Ray Edwards.

Edwards is a restricted free-agent, and was given a first-round tender by the Vikings.  If the Eagles sign him to an offer sheet, the Eagles will give up their first-round pick in this year’s draft.

According to NFL Trade Rumors, citing sources, the Eagles and Vikings are working on a deal that would send Edwards to the Eagles in exchange for a 3rd-round pick, defensive tackle Trevor Laws, and a conditional 6th-round pick for 2011 that could bump to a 4th-round pick based on performance.

The site says a deal should be done by Friday.

Laws, 24, is an athletic defensive tackle who was drafted by the Eagles in the 2nd-round of the 2008 draft.  Laws has played a limited role in his two seasons with the Eagles.
