Braylon Edwards Traded to Jets

[Mogriffjr]

Lmao so the browns gave us Edwards and sanchez for a bunch of role players and mid to lower round picks bwhaha

trusnik though was a special teams ace and sticker was no more than a slot guy right now...maybe more of a #4 WR. Great trade

[Rush]

yes because Sanchez is the 2nd coming after 4 games. Dont forget, its the Jets defense that is winning those games, not dirty sanchez who is getting all the credit cause the NY media decided he was great. Dam it annoys me when people just follow what the media says.

btw, Anderson was able to get him the ball....did we forget about 2007? last year edwards was a joke and dropped more balls then anyone. Of course the team was also a joke. But why was DA able to get the ball to Massiqui and not edwards.....maybe its cause of edwards

Where did I say he was the 2nd coming?

no one said that...not to the extend he's saying it...

[Rush]

Exactly, seems like he is bitter Sanchez isn't on Cleveland.

looks like I won't be dropping Braylon from my FF team this week...

All homer aside this blows.

Sanchez to Edwards is going to be scary. They already have a scary defense. Now they have a legit #1 WR to compliment Sanchez.

I hope this backfires but I'm not sure how it will. Great move by the Jests.

For the time being, Cotchery/Keller will benefit from this until Edwards gets into this offense. I suspect he'll dress for us monday night but won't be much of a factor, except he'll be out there and you guys will have to keep an eye out for him.

so seeing as Crabtree also got signed today does this make the tampering rumors more legitimate?

[Woy]

Very, very nice move by the Jets.

Exactly what I was thinking.

dude still has to learn a new offense, when a WR gets traded midseason they usually dont put up stellar numbers for the rest of the season

See- Chris Chambers, Roy Williams

Edwards was a bust. Then had one good year. Now is a bust again.

I thought Jerricho is good enough for the Jets, i dont think Edwards is gonna improve them that much.

[Aso]

Very nice move by the Browns in my opinion.

A few days after he messes with LeBrons entourage he is shipped out of town...

Conspiracy theory?

[jaxjaggywires]

Now he can drop passes in a green uni...

EDIT: Hmm...seems I should read the other posts, so as not to write the same fucking thing as someone else. Oh well...it's still true.

why does everyone think this is a good trade for the Jets. They give up several draft picks and their second best WR for an expiring contract. Braylon can just leave and go somewhere else after the season.

I think Browns win with this trade!

Not necessarily. Since the owners opted out of the CBA the free agency rules change. If no agreement is made between the league and the union, then 2010 is an uncapped year and players are not permitted to become a unrestriced free agent until 6 years of service. Braylone will only have 5 full years of service after this season.

Basically the Jets can hold Braylon hostage and can match any offer he would receive in restricted free agency. 2010 is looking like an uncapped year and once the cap goes away...it will likely never come back. Smart move for both teams really. Strategically the Jets position themselves to get another year of service out of Braylon to see what he can do before making a committment and the Browns get additional picks, a decent receiver and another linebacker with some potential.
