Braylon Edwards Traded to the Jets

[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.

Heck loves Stuckey.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Mike Junkin. Seriously, Dawson might be back.

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.

[BrownIndian]

More of Mangini's people is good news. Since they are his guys, they shud help fit into the system easier and we should start reaping more positives. I was wrong about the trade, seems we got draft picks too ... so it is a very good deal IMO. I may not be a 100% sold on the coaching but i like the trade and draft moves.

[Vegasdogg]

Now we know why they drafted 2 WRs in the 2nd round. I am quite sure the asking price was much higher until this last incident. Maybe a 2nd, 4th and two players.

Anyways, Stucki is the kind of player we love here in Cleveland. Hard worker, fast, and young, plus lots of room for improvement.

They rolled coverage to BE. I am curious how a defense will prepare for us now. Who is the go to guy? Do they roll it over to MoMass? Because DA can find the one on one guy.

I am quite sure the asking price used to be a 1st and 3rd, then a 2nd and 4th, and now that they wanted his ass out of town, it became a 3rd and 5th.

But I must say, we do collect studs on ST's, and the results are very good. I will take it!

That was funny dude ... but DA has more potential than their QB, but as of now im going with Mangini philosophy. Enough changes , enough confusion. lets hang on and sail on ...

[ClevelandFanForLife]

apparently braylon asked to be traded to that he can be in new york and drop the ball on new year's eve. BAAAAAAAAAAA ZIIIIIIIIIIIIING.

[glenby73]

Well, anyone who wants out of Cleveland knows how to do it now.

Punch one of LBJ's boys!

LBJ, the REAL GM of the Browns calling the shots.

This just in.. Grady Sizemore spreading rumors about Dru Joyce on Twitter!!!!

[mopaji]

I think we robbed the Jets. Two young players who alreafy the know the scheme and terminology. They can step in right away. That LB is from Cleveland too. And Stucky has some good hands. A first and 3rd? Nice! I would have done it for a 3rd so this is a steal!

??? we didn't get a first and a 3rd....

Ive heard at best its 2 seconds. one next year one the year after. or a 3rd and a 5th which sounds more likely.

I think 2 seconds would have been a huge coup for Mangini. If it's the 3rd and 5th, that makes it about an even trade.

We got something for a guy that was walking end of the season

We got something for a guy that will be sitting on his ASS when Roger drops the hammer!

Given all the circumstances, I think we did better than even.

FYI.... rizzo still saying their going to talk about the night at the club with Sabrina. Hasn't happened yet.

Without much thought..... too early anyway... yes that's the excuse I'm going with....

My gut reaction.......

Good.

1) Report has been filed, pictures taken, think there were witnesses(? feel free to deny or confirm). Sounds to me like there is enough to at least move forward with criminal charges. Again, speculation on my part, admitted.

2) NFL is doing their own investigation. Even if he doesn't face criminal charges, he probably broke some NFL rule and you know Goodell isn't going to let that slide. If it shakes out to be true, he did hit the guy, he will face a multiple game suspension.

3) He's not sticking around after this season anyway. I think Mangini would have been happy to keep him and that's why he wasn't traded earlier. He's one of the few guys with talent on this team! When he decides to use it. but this, this put it over the top. Mangini had an out and he took it. He got something for what would have been nothing in the offseason. Plus he woudln't be on the field for several games this year anyway.

I could be wrong, but without any concrete info, this is my initial reaction.

Just hope we got a little something for him but not holding my breath.

4) shows Mangini is still ruling with the iron fist. 4 games in, the man's still got it! Just in case anybody forgot, or thought he was getting soft in his looooooong head coaching career.

5) BE is bound to confuse his playbook with a movie script anyway. Glad he won't be here when he does it.
