Panthers sign third-rounder Edwards

Football Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Carolina Panthers have signed third-round draft pick Armanti Edwards.

Edwards was taken 89th overall in April's draft after a successful four-year run as quarterback at Appalachian State. The Panthers, however, have designs on using Edwards as a wide receiver.

Edwards is the only two-time winner of the Walter Payton Award (2009-08) given to the nation's top FCS player. The four-time All-American led Appalachian State to four straight Southern Conference championships, two national titles and directed the Mountaineer offense for a memorable and dramatic upset of Michigan in 2008.

At 5-foot-11 and 182 pounds, Edwards proved dynamic as the only player in FCS or FBS history with at least 9,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards in a career. He ranks second in FCS history with 14,753 yards of total offense and accounted for 139 career touchdowns (74 passing, 65 rushing) while notching a 42-7 record as a starter.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
