Potential Donovan Edwards landing spots
#1 Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a decision to make: keep Najee Harris or let Jaylen Warren become the main guy.
If they choose Warren, Edwards could fit in as a third-down back in Mike Tomlin's offense. This would put him in a position where he could be an impactful running back in a run-heavy offense.
#2 Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have been a strong running team, and getting quarterback Kyler Murray some more weapons is going to be critical. Donovan Edwards would be a good change-of-play back behind James Conner.
#3 Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders are likely going to be moving on from Josh Jacobs and need to figure out what to do next.
Enter Edwards who could be one of the backs to split time and play in the system. Who knows, it could be one of the rumored landing spots for coach Jim Harbaugh as well.
#4 Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns have been decimated by injuries, with Nick Chubb going down early in the year with a season-ending knee problem.
They are eventually going to need new blood in the running backs room, and Edwards seems like a perfect fit in Kevin Stefanski's run-first system.
#5 Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans are likely moving on from franchise star Derrick Henry and are going to need players to replicate his offensive production.
That's where Donovan Edwards comes in. He could take some carries and help quarterback Will Levis not have to drop back 40+ times per game.
