Braylon Edwards to the Jets

**Herbalizer** · 10-07-2009, 07:31 AM

Seeing is believe to me. If Braylon can actually hold on to the ball with the Jets then they may have something special. As of now IMO Cotchery is Sanchez's go to guy. It's going to be interesting none the less.

the saints were stacking the box and daring sanchez to throw alllllll game. thats why they got so much pressure on him. he had no one to throw to. now he has a legit threat on the field, teams wont play the jets the same again.

just him running down the field will make teams not put 8 men in the box...

the o-line is great but no matter how good if 8 men are blitzing half the time its going to break down...this opens up the field.

completly agree with what your saying.

**LikeAMachine** · 10-07-2009, 07:38 AM

I am loling

Huge threat!

Zero TD's this season.

Dropped a sure fire first down last week on third down and ended up with ZERO catches. While one of our ROOKIES led the NFL in receiving yards....

I am also loling at the Jets guys thinking he can just flip a switch and be good all of a sudden.

I agree he will help the Jets, it gives them another demension for the defense to account for. I was saying the guy was delusional if he thought Braylon is going to "flourish" into a great WR for the Jets.

he is an effective decoy, he will force the opposing D to cover him, but my guess is he will continue to drop balls, and be a head case and a problem for the team he is on. only time will tell, though, until he settles in with the Jets, this is all just speculation. he has (or had) the talent before, it's just a matter of whether he can overcome his ego and his mental blocks, and get back to being a top tier WR.

personally, I hate Braylon now (used to like him, until he turned into an ultra-douche), so I hope he fails miserably.

for the record, I root for the Jets, I like to see them do well.

Did you see last weeks game? I think you are going to find out, that is going to be more of the norm than an abberation the rest of the year. Sanchez has beena good game manager so far, but getting the ball to Braylon on deep routes isn't as easy as you are trying to make it sound.

This is the last year of Braylons contract, so if he is staying it is for let's say 50 million. So you gave up two average at best players, two draft picks and 50 million to keep him. At best you have a 50 million dollar stone hands cry baby, at worst you have a average WR with bad hands for one year that you gave up two draft picks for.

Flacco last year?

**Lloyd Braun** · 10-07-2009, 07:45 AM

Whaaa?? What you guys talking about "flourishing under teh bright lightz of teh NY!!". Braylon couldn't handle Cleveland's media. What makes you think he'll be able to handle NY media criticism, which is even more critical??

I guess we'll see though.

All this does is set up another Braylon vs Lebron fued when Lebron comes to one of the NY teams next year...oh lawd

Nah, when they see Braylon giving up on routes causing interceptions they won't resign him.

**SuperAmmo** · 10-07-2009, 07:55 AM

You know something is wrong when the QUARTERBACK is HAPPY Braylon is gone. Think he accounted for some of DA's INT's?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...aylon-is-gone/

Derek Anderson is glad that Braylon is gone

Posted by Mike Florio on October 7, 2009 10:31 AM ET
Though he hasn't and likely won't say or do anything publicly to indicate his feelings on the matter, a league source tells us that Browns starting quarterback (for now) Derek Anderson is happy that receiver Braylon Edwards has been traded to the Jets.

We were surprised, given that Anderson likes to throw the deep ball and that Edwards had been the team's top vertical option. Then again, the number of dropped passes over the past year and change likely influenced Anderson's thinking.

The eight catches and 148 yards from rookie Mohamed Massaquoi probably increases Anderson's comfort level regarding Edwards' absence, too.

And so the Browns have in little more than seven months dumped their two top-ten draft picks from 2005 and 2004 -- Edwards and tight end Kellen Winslow.

Two years ago, it appeared that both players would be Cleveland fixtures well into the next decade.

A few things;

1. Braylon was leaving after this season and there is no way in hell we were going to Franchise him. If we did, thing would have gotten even more ugly....he would flat out quit.
2. He punched Lebrons friend....Lebron is King...sorry Braylon
3. His effort and pass catching skills or lack thereof rather has been WELL documented.
4. The guy has been a locker room side show for as many years as he has been in the league.

We got something for a guy who we would have gotten nothing for at the end of the year. Everyone cried about trading Bartolo Colon then we got Cliff Lee and Grady Sizemore out of it. Then everyone cried when we DID NOT trade Jim Thome before we didn't resign him. The point is you can't win with Cleveland fans, they will always find something to complain about.

I texted my brother...."Hey Braylon got traded for XXX".....his reply text...."The Jets got ripped off"

lol

All of these problems are remedied by leaving the Cleveland Browns franchise.

i agree. i doubt he wanted to be in cleveland. plus, isnt he going to be going after a contract after this year? you would think the guy would start playing well.

yup... you are 100% correct.

leaving the Browns will magically make Braylon remember how to catch a football again, right?

It worked for Moss when he left the Raiders.

Just like the old Browns leaving Cleveland made them win a Superbowl.

Oh wait....

God it's tough being a Brown's fan

**dirtdickens** · 10-07-2009, 08:06 AM

This will not end well for Braylon in NY-the media will kill him

Sunday he threw everyone under the bus for his problems-coach, QB other teammates. He has never once owned up to being even part of the problem.
He punched that little guy because of jealosy.
He is promoting the fact that he is from Michigan and that he hates Ohio State, when he plays in Ohio. Then when the fans boo him and he cant figure out why.
The guy has lost all confidence in himself, the big city will crush him.

And I am still not a Browns fan. Another special teams guy and a WR that is no different than what they already have 5 of. The draft picks will be wasted on more try hard guys and special teams guys.

**bustermac** · 10-07-2009, 08:08 AM

Good trade for both teams. Massaquoi had a huge game in Week 4 too, so the Browns can afford to lose this problem guy.

This could elevate the Jets over the Pats (yes I'm serious) in the division. Their D is solid, their running game is solid, they were lacking at WR though. Cotchery is not a #1 WR. Stuckey at #2 is not solid.

Now if Sanchez can avoid a ton of rookie mistakes, they could far far in the playoffs. Looks like they're just trying to surround Sanchez with enough talent that he won't have to be the leader and make big plays on his own.

**JuicintheJuice** · 10-07-2009, 08:12 AM

This is big for us Jets fans. Hopefully teams won't be stacking the box and our running game will be able to open up a bit.

Maybe he can pull a Moss turnaround

big things baby!

and Calvin Pace comes back this week. I'm more excited about that. Think of all the blitz packages they can use with Pace and much more pressure on the QB...more than they have now. Gonna be a good year.

**xzp** · 10-07-2009, 08:23 AM

Good trade, I doubt he'll disrupt **** with the Jets.
He SHOULD get his act together this season, considering if he doesn't the Jets won't give him big money..

One question, Will he still be suspended by the Commish. for that fight in Cleveland?

Putting Moss and Edwards in the same sentence is laughable. It was worth the risk for the Jets, but after his 1st dropped pass and the critics that will accompany it, Braylon will melt down.

**Tyler44** · 10-07-2009, 08:30 AM

Oh well, I didnt read the thread dont care enough.

This should be good for both parties. Edwards gets out, he been crying for 2 years about the fans not liking him cuz he was from Michigan and crap. Browns fans loved the guy and only booed when he dropped 2 passes a game. Maybe he'll get a fresh start in NY, I dnt care.

Browns, well Im not real sure how Stucky(sp?) is and Im sure Mangina will waste both of those draft picks. Just going to be another couple rough years regardless of who plays. Until ownership is gone and Magina is fired and a real coach is in place, nothing is going to get better.

**Davis_Ever** · 10-07-2009, 08:31 AM

kind of seems like a desperate move for the jets...they couldnt close a deal with the broncos for marshall and talks with crabtree look to be done (hes signing with 49ers) so they took the nex)t best thing, which seems pretty far off (from marshall anyways)

You gotta admit, Lebron does run sh*t in cleveland. He prolly made one phone call and braylon was sent packing.

The only thing worse in sports history was when the Quebec Nordiques left Quebec for Colorado and won the Cup the very next season haha

**NorthernRaZ** · 10-07-2009, 08:38 AM

A change of scenery will do wonders for Braylon. He has pro bowl talent that will show in New York.

Mangini is clearly a double agent for the Jets. Even though he couldn't catch, teams still had to respect his talent and ability for the deep pass. There is no one close to the level of potential talent on our current roster.

Mangini is wiping away any talent Cleveland had. Bad job Mangini man.

Winner: Jets by KO

**SuperAmmo** · 10-07-2009, 08:41 AM

Now Jets fans can chant this...

D-R-O-P DROP DROP DROP!!!!!

**C-Squared** · 10-07-2009, 08:44 AM

Wow, look at nfl.com trying to drum up trouble:

"Edwards has been involved in other off-field incidents. In March, he was partying with suspended Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth in Miami the night Stallworth later drove drunk and killed a pedestrian. Edwards was not with Stallworth at the time."

Ya, Braylon was going WILD that night! C'mon now!

**G-mane12** · 10-07-2009, 08:48 AM

lol this is supposed to be good news for the jets?

Cleveland has media? Your city sucks brah.

**ElMariachi** · 10-07-2009, 08:50 AM

So the 49ers filed a tampering charge against the Jets for messing with Crabtree, soon after, all of a sudden, Crabtree wants to talk and signs, and almost immediately the Jets trade for Edwards??? Interesting.
