There was an interview on Tim and Sid with Edwin's agent today.
Other than the Jays there's 5 other teams after Edwin and that they've talked with the Jays within the last couple of days. He was asked without giving the exact number if the 4 year/80M deal rumor was close to what they were offered and he said that would be fairly accurate. He said it was made just before he rejected his qualifying offer and said while it wasn't what they were looking for it wasn't insulting either.
He said Edwin thinks this will be his last contract so he wants to see what he's worth. He's in no rush to sign but would sign tomorrow if the right contract was offered which hasn't happened yet.
