On long-term scout potential he's rated 17.5, ranking 413th of 481 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (35% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 6.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Edwards.

Judged on this season alone, Edwards graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 6.905 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 54th of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Edwards is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

6.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.5, Edwards carries the 54th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 56 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
