They don't even need to sign it. You've only signed the edited version, so they can either use the edited version or not have a non-compete. If you're comfortable with the edited version it doesn't really matter which one they choose.

If the non-compete is just a part of the overall employment contract, that means you are working without a contract. That can be problematic if the contract establishes benefits for you, like your salary, your bonus, your vacation, etc., etc.

Good point that I definitely overlooked. I was assuming the NC was a distinct document.
