Why nnot just save the typing and type DE?

Because Edge defenders play either 3-4 OLB, 4-3 DE or sometimes even a 4-3 OLB role depending on who's running the scheme (a SLB in the Seattle-style defense like BRuce Irvin is still an EDGE despite being a "linebacker"). It's used to refer to guys who will rush the passer off the edge in pass rush situations.
