ESPN just reported that Edwards is gonna be a JET! At least Sanchez will have a legit #1 receiver, that is if Edwards can keep his nose clean in NY. :)

I was just going to post this! I really don't know if I should be excited because I'm scared the Jets might've given up too much.

Here's the link if anyone wants it.

Edit: Apparently the trade was Braylon Edwards for Chansi Stuckey and Jason Trusnik. As much as I like Stuckey, I think the Jets made out huge on this deal.

Actually it was WR Stuckey, LB Trusnik, and 2 draft picks. I don't know anymore. I hate the fact that the Jets keep trading picks away.

I'm a Braylon fan but don't get too excited Jet's fans, you just overpaid for a receiver with stonehands.

Good trade for the Browns, they need all the draft picks they can get because it doesn't look like they're going anywhere for a while. Not so sure it's a good trade for the Jets though.

Yeah, OK, 3-1 with a dominant defense and a breakout rookie QB, nope, they're not going anywhere. Seriously, what do they need the draft picks for? They have what looks like a franchise QB, two great RB's who if they can free them can get some good yards, a defense that has responded to a great defensive mind, the only position they're short at is WR and now they have a Pro Bowler. Edwards is an upgrade over Stuckey and the backer is basically a prospect. I'll agree that the two draft picks mean they overpaid, but so what? They can afford it.

YES!!! Good thing we traded away our best offensive talent to leave us with basically nothing on offense. Mangini or whoever did this deal is a genius!

That's the first thing that I thought of. I don't think Lebron personally had anything to do with the trade, but I'm sure that Browns' brass didn't want to give the fans any more reason to dislike the team. Because let's face it, James is King in Cleveland.

The jets got a good receiver. Good players are disgruntled in bad organizations. Just ask Moss and Corey Dillon. Not saying Edwards is great, but he is a good receiver and maybe will improve with a different better runned organization than the Browns.

Great move by the Jets. A rookie QB needs a veteran receiver who drops lots of passes.

MarcusAntonius

Exactly

Edwards is on pace to set the record for dropped passes this season and the Jets decided to solidify the Browns WR's and LB's for him and offer two picks to do more.

I mean I hope Edwards does well but at the same time he's going to a market that does not allow dropped passes

Im not a Jets fan but I hope this works out for them, he is a good solid receiver and they need that with having a rookie QB.

Jets fans are probably going to be more vicious about the dropped passes.

I'm guessing this was their backup plan after the niners filed tampering charges against them. Never been a fan of Edwards, the guy drops too many balls.

"The Jets have no WRs" was proven wrong. Now we get Edwards :shock: ? But the last game i seen him play in, he had more drops than catches :(

haha that's what I was thinking earlier. Lebron is setting up the showdown when he finally lands in New York. Lebron V. Braylon in Madison Square Garden.

Does this mean the Knicks won't be able to sign LeBron after the season?

As long as Lebron keeps his midgets in Ohio I think it would be possible.

its a no lose situation for the jets they gave uo 2 draft picks a 5th rd and a 4rd rd pick that can go as high as a 3rd rd plus two role players for a player who is only 26 yrs old and off field issuses aside has talent plus he is playing for a new contract andthey have someone who can get downfield plus jc wont be facing double teams anymore.

Hey I'm happy with the trade, as long as Braylon doesn't drop passes.
