Braylon Edwards Traded to the Jets
-
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!!!!

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!

Neither of these two guys will contribute right away. We got some guys that are filler for the time being, not longer term difference-makers.

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.

Add in Denver would be trading Cutler for Orton and Andre Davis would be a key on defense for them to be 4-0 right now and I'd say what the f%ck were you smoking!
3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time. -

New York media aware of what the Jets are getting in Braylon Edwards

Joshua Gunter, The Plain Dealer Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards, typically, has a pass go off his hands against the Houston Texans last season.Braylon Edwards is obviously bringing a reputation with him to New York.
The Cleveland Browns have traded wide receiver Edwards to the Jets, reportedly for linebacker and special teams standout Jason Trusnik, wide receiver Chansi Stuckey and two draft picks.
Edwards, one of the league's most gifted yet unreliable receivers, has often made negative news off the field, with thoughtless quotes and mini-confrontations. Early Monday morning, Edwards reportedly punched Edward Givens - a friend of the Cavaliers' LeBron James - at the View Ultra-Lounge & Nightclub in Cleveland.
So, look out New York.
Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News today describes Edwards as "disgruntled." A staff report by the New York Post calls him "troubled," as does the Associated Press report carried by the New York Times. Newsday leaves out any adjectives in conjunction with Edwards, but writes that he has "struggled this year."
Writes Rich Cimini:
Edwards, a first-round pick, is regarded as an elite talent, but he has been involved in a series of off-the-field incidents and wore out his welcome in Cleveland.
His contract expires after this season, but he may not be an unrestricted free agent. It depends on the CBA. If there's no salary cap in 2010, Edwards will be a restricted free agent.
It's not clear if the Jets extended Edwards' contract

Also, a NY reporter on SportsCenter just now saying Stuckey "is a nice receiver, but just wasn't stretching the field and getting the job done". So, if MoMass can be the stretch guy, maybe Stucky can be our possession receiver.

Good stuff from Chris Mortensen:
He claims that Braylon was at the center of all the dissension in the locker room, was a frequent violator of team rules (parking in the secretary's parking space, etc.), and was going to be shipped out before the trade deadline anyway. The recent incident may have just forced the Browns to speed up their plans.

Add in even with a new coach, we're still farting around with our own Abbott n' Costello routine, "Whose on First?" under center?

Apparently DA wasn't looking for Braylon too much according to the Targets list from Yahoo!:
MoMass 13 targets
Heiden 8 targets
Harrison 7 targets
Furrey 7 targets
he wasn't even looking for Edwards

Damn I'm glad you're back. Content, content, content.
Thanks.
As a Jets fan, I think Greenie was hoping Mort would give a more glowing review of the deal. Instead, it was all about BE's flaws.

Adam_Schefter The 3rd-round pick the Jets gave up to Cleveland could turn into second-round pick if Edwards catches a certain number of passes this yr

Edwards wasnt traded inside the division---thats good, we got some picks---thats good, and the Browns are making moves---and thats good.
My only problem is our growing relationship with the Jets...are the Jets the NFL's Sam's club ???? Is this going to be our mangements ONLY trading partner ???? I have never heard of a farm team (or minor-league system) winning or growing over the team they are feeding.
Mangini & Co. are either changing this entire franchise or just destroying whats in place and giving any talent we have to the Jets. Its a little un-nerving.... but then again, we are 0-4 headed to 1-15....so who cares ????
Bermeck (add yet another NFL jersey I cant wear... my utility room (sports jerseys/posters/ect) is filled with Browns-X'ers)

I'm hearing from a secondhand source that it was reported today that Braylon Edwards was disrupting the huddle on Sunday, as he kept bitching 'get ME the ball, get ME the ball' and nearly prevented Anderson from relaying the play to the rest of the team.
-
Honestly who cares, he wasn't going to resign and we weren't going to resign him - sooooo who cares he sucked anyways

Everyone associated with the Browns will tell you that Edwards was one of the few players not buying into the new coaching staff. He constantly fought the new rules and restrictions. It is always hard to get rid of a player with so much talent but when he becomes a cancer to a team that is trying to rebuild and become respectable then it is time to let go.
You can't fault Mangini for not trading him prior to the season. He was shopped but his value was low. Nobody was offering a #1 pick and the giants were the main suiters offering a #2 and a #5 as we've been told. Mangini may have had hopes that Edwards would turn around and you would think going into the last year of his contract he would put his best foot forward and try to excell on the field.
But as some have said the "ME" guys aren't going to cut it under Mangini. So, it boils down to take less value or try to rein him in. Edwards always talk the talk but has a bit too much T.O. in him.
Who knows what he will become in NY. This is simular to the Plaxco situation in Pittsburgh, he never wanted to buy into the team approach. On the other hand Randy Moss was an ass most of his career until he went to NE where he became a team player and has been a true asset.
I think Rex Ryan thinks he can kick his ass into submission and I wouldn't bet against Ryan.
I say the Browns future is brighter without him because hey are a step closer in their rebuilding. Edwards wasn't a part of the future and was just taking away reps from the young guys that will be a part of tis teams future.
Last week we were told that Robo would suit up and this week they told us that he will see the field which I reported here yesterday. Now that was before the trade or was this trade in the works before the fight even happened. It would be interesting to find out.

This is good IMO. Braylon has done __________ for us this year? NOTHING! He had more drops than catches against Cincy
I hope we get something of value for him, but honestly...whatever we get is of more value than what he brings to the team. He is a distraction, and face it...HE SUCKS! Way to go Mangini. You're getting support over here

Just got on here and heard the news... does anyone know all the exact players we got and picks?

The only person happier than Browns fans about this trade is Braylon Edwards. Being in New York feeds his "superstar" image. The one thing he isn't counting on is that if he thought Browns fans and media were harsh, wait until he drops some balls in NY!
Not that it is a bad trade, but did Mangini sign some kind of exclusive "only trade with the Jets" deal?
