Storm re-signs WR Edwards

According the AFL's official Web site, the Storm has re-signed standout wide receiver Hank Edwards.

The move comes as no surprise.

Last week, Storm coach Tim Marcum told reporters from the Times and Tampa Tribune in a joint interview that giving Edwards a better deal was a top priority during the offseason. Edwards had one year left on his contract, but Marcum said he hoped to essentially rip that one up and give him a new one.

Apparently, that's what happened.

In his second year with the team and first full AFL season, the 6-foot-3, 180-pound Edwards caught 85 passes for 1,341 yards and 30 touchdowns.
