Olympique_de_Marseille Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 7 hours ago, Complete Homer said: I guess he was just exposed in the expansion draft? Exactly. Vancouver didn't think he'd get picked because he would take an international slot for the two new US based teams. Contract ends at the end of the 2017 MLS season.

If that is right - is that a standard clause in player's contract at that level? He is still has another year left on his contract with Vancouver. Most pro athletes get insurance on their legs. I don't know if he had some extra or if the employee contract with MLS covers outside events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Edgar underwent surgery to repair his PCL, MCL and meniscus. He's expected to resume training with the team in the fall. That's a shitty deal for a 29 year old CB. http://www.whitecapsfc.com/post/2017/01/04/whitecaps-fc-defender-david-edgar-undergoes-successful-knee-surgery?hootPostID=7263772a0f3f113b71948df577a4b00f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We look forward to having David back on the field and training with the team in the fall." Serious hit-and-run indeed! I hope he can recover and this isn't his Josh Simpson moment. Stay strong Edgar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 As per this release from the Whitecaps, Edgar is on the season ending injury list. Also, it's kind of interesting to see the comments on him not being called up (whether he refused, wasn't asked, focused on club career, whether he was good enough, etc). Parallels comments on other players in our programs today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Still gutted he had such a big injury and more so that it was not even soccer related. At least it wasn't an ACL but MCL and meniscus are never good things to damage. Hope he comes back stronger, fitter and sharper than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 He'll be making his broadcasting debut soon. Nice to see he's staying active while hurt. http://www.whitecapsfc.com/wfc2/post/2017/04/19/edgar-broadcast-wfc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His salary didn't make sense...he would have been the 2nd highest paid defender on the team next season to be, at most, the first CB off the bench. Fully expect him to be back on a lower price tag if the Caps think he's fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Why am i not shocked. Hope he lands on his feet Shame cpl is up and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Surprising but makes sense given his salary. Perhaps his recovery did not go as well as expected? Think he can still get minutes in MLS. If not, the lower tiers of England or the SPL are a possibility I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Well they know better how he has recovered from his injury. Wouldn't be surprised if they see him as permanently damaged after the MCL, he wasn't pacey before. Not that our backline is that pacey anyway but combined with his salary might have been too much of a risk for little reward. Hope he proves that theory wrong though and gets back playing at a decent level. He should have two or three more years left in the tank at least.
