Braylon Edwards Traded to the Jets

[OconRecon]

Rewind to 1 year ago, who would have thought by week 5 of this season, we'd be 0-4, without Winslow, Edwards, and Stallworth.

Again, you can't make this stuff up.

More per PFT:

UPDATE: Glazer reports there are two draft picks; Schefter says they're believed to be a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick

A 3rd and a 5th draft pick as well as two players seems good to me. Especially since:

1. Braylon is out of here at the end of this year

2. He's in trouble with the NFL

3. He's not producing

4. MoMass is emerging

5. This season looks to be in the tank anyway

6. He's looking more and more like a head case

7. He seemed to not want to be here anyway as he can't get it through his head we in Ohio could care less if he went to Michigan.

Good news! Trusnick has made a tackle. I say he starts this week.

Good riddance, I'm sick & tired of his prima donna bs.

Still not sure about Mangini, but I have to give him credit on this move- a struggling team, trying to buy into his "plan," doesn't need the distraction(s) that BE brings.

Yes, BE was great for a few highlight reel plays, but his drop on Sunday in the first quarter brought out all of our negative-fan energy right away, boos were deservedly flying. I doubt BE will ever live up to the expectations of him...if he can't make it here, why would he make it there (NY, NY...sorry Frank Sinatra)?

Good.

Let him drop Sanchez' passes for a few years.

I was thinking the same thing, there goes Sanchez's chance at rookie of the year ! Good move by Mangini, BE didn't produce last year and looks to be the same story this season. Plus now he can hang out with Plexico in the NY bars after he gets out on good behavior.

DA is the next one outa here.

One thing for sure. MoMass won't be running wide open without any safety help this week.

Probably the right move with BE. Its just such a shame that we have to suffer through drafting guys top 10 who clearly have talent (BE, KWII) only to see them not be part of the core.

Oh well, onward and upward.

Heck loves Stuckey.

He's probably best suited playing the slot, but he should fit in quite well as our #2 receiver.

[OconRecon]

I feel relieved. I would have taken a 3rd and 5th + 2 players in the preseason. With this 0-4 start, his non-production and behavior troubles, good riddance.

However, a change of scenery may do the trick for him, but it just wasn't in the cards here anymore.

I've seen some good highlights of him. He played well for Favre last year. (But I think Favre can make any WR look good)

Damn't Hammer!!!!! lmao!!! had to make it a qb thread!!!!

Stream the big show on espncleveland.com ..... show regular, Sabrina says she was at the club with BE sunday night. They're supposedly going to talk about it after the break.

[onefellswoop7]

He had a great and Monster year in 07. Other than that he has been a headache of drops and poor routes. You always wanted to like him because he made those crazy ctaches...then he drops the sure bet off his hands or chest (while wide open).

Stuckey will fit in nicely in our WR core. He isn't a stud but we're looking to develope MoMass and Robo so Stuckey and Furrey come in with solid hands and decent speed. The big test is how MoMass handles being the #1.

I wonder who gets cut to make room for our new ST ace?

Anyway, I'm definately OK with this trade. We saw a glimpse of a team fighting hard last game (as a team!). That's how management wants to run things...so lets see it. Getting a 3rd and 5th plus players is not too shabby for a guy who planned to walk at seasons end and has really only produced once season...though he had a monster year that year.

Now we got the $ to sign Kevin Walter next year.

[WVBrownsfan]

Damn and I just signed up for the B-Easy fan club !

Your probably right. He'll go and catch 10 TD passes there. But who cares, he wasn't doing it for us.

[ClevelandFanForLife]

ok so who gets cut to make a roster spot for the two guys we got?

Mike Junkin. Seriously, Dawson might be back.

[ClevelandFanForLife]

by the way, get ready for the "lebron will be reunited with braylon and cc in new york" rumors that will be coming out in about 10 seconds.

yup he is going to buffalo along with the rest of the team for the sunday game

[ClevelandFanForLife]

maybe we should trade da to buffalo so he will finally throw to the guys wearing brown for once.
