Carl Edwards to JGR rumors are circulating.

I know Home Depot is getting impatient with Lowe's winning so often. Carl Edwards would put them back on the map. Finding sponsorship for Logano to add the fourth team could be tough. Having Carl on the same team as Kyle Busch could be funny, because they hate each other. Having said that, I don't think Hamlin cares that much for Kyle Busch, nor does anybody else in the garage. If Red Bull doesn't return, it will also push the carousel around. For a while everyone thought Mark Martin would take the Red Bull seat for a year while Cole Whitt gets one more year to develop. Kasey Kahne is of course moving from Red Bull over to HMS. David Ragan is trying hard to strengthen the UPS relationship. A spot in the chase would help him a ton. He would be in the chase if the season ended today (they take the top 10 plus 2 wildcards from 11-20 based on wins).
Junior fans can't stand Kyle and it tickles me. Kyle races more like the elder Earnhardt than anyone on the track today. And has a very similar attitude to a young Dale Sr., but the Junior fans can't stand him. And you are right, he wins. And can flat out drive the wheels off of anything he gets in. Cup, Nationwide, dirt track, hell even stadium trucks, the boy can drive.
Go Kyle Go!
Go Kyle Go!
that Kyle Busch is just like a young Darrell Waltrip. Sure Waltrip is the easy going, every drivers best friend, and complementary now that he is on the air. But the young driver Waltrip was a mouthy smartass that could hustle a car around the track. Waltrip ran his mouth so much that he got the nickname "jaws" in the pits and was liked about as much as Busch is.
Like you said, he has calmed down in his old(er) age.
I think Joe likes having at least one brash, bad boy, hard racing type in his stable. And also likes having a more experienced, quieter, but still capable of getting around the track (Bobby Labonte) and that's why he may be going after Carl.
I also think that Lagano isn't working out like he had hoped. A lot of pressure in that orange number 20 though. And Hamlin just isn't "flashy" enough to bring in the sponsor money (although I don't think he or FedEx are going anywhere).
JGR will most likely expand to four cars if they do get Edwards and non of the other JGR drivers have anything to worry about. And I am pretty sure Carl will bring AFLAC with him if he comes, or maybe go to the Home Depot and move Lagono to an AFLAC ride.
Silly Season starts earlier every year doesn't it?
