The Panthers' decision-makers indicated last week at the combine they wanted to bring defensive tackle Dwan Edwards back to Charlotte.
The feeling is mutual.
Edwards, who had a breakout season with the Panthers in 2012 after Buffalo cut him, is one of the Panthers' top priorities among Carolina's own free agents. Edwards said Thursday he hopes to return.
It was fun. It was kind of a situation for me coming in and not knowing the team. I wasn't really sure how it was going to be and what my expectations were. I hadn't heard great things about the defensive line, Edwards said when reached by phone.
But throughout the season I could see us getting better and improving. And I really felt we won some games for us.
Edwards, who turns 32 in May, signed a one-year deal worth $1.5 million with Carolina last year after the Bills released him before the start of the regular season.
