Braylon Edwards Traded to the Jets
-
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.

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 ????

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?
-
Maybe the deals we've made with the jets were better than potential deals elsewhere. Could be a coincidence, we don't know; we're not on the phone listening to the deals.
With less than 2 weeks before the trade deadline we had to know something was going to happen. Truthfully, I don't think Mangini and GeorgeKok are done yet.

Cleveland will receive WR Chansi Stuckey, LB Jason Trusnik and undisclosed draft picks from New York Jets. The draft picks are believe to be a 3rd & 5th (year unknown), and it is now rumored that the 3rd could be a 2nd if Braylon hauls-in a certain amount receptions.
Trusnik is a Northern Ohio boy, grew up in Macedonia (Southeast Cleveland suburb) and played for Nordonia High School. I believe he was Special Teams player of the year last year.
Stuckey is a 3rd year WR, who's probably a #3 slot receiver.

BTW, Edwards was on of the guys that filed a grievance with the players association about being fined. I know he was one of the guys that refused to park where the players were assigned to park and would park in the handicap spots or in reserved spots for the secys and PR personnel. After so many warnings Mangini was forced to enforce his rules or he would have allowed a double standard.
What burns we up about all the media coverage and bad press about $1701 for a bottle of water is that these guys were told and warned and warned, so what do you do. They were raiding minibars aon the way out of the hotel and passing out snacks on the bus to other players who started thinking it was a joke. This wasn't one isolated incident and the guy gets fined. My understanding is that he was starting to influence some of the younger guys and that was real trouble brewing. No way did this team want him to get in to MoMass and Robo's heads.
You mention the huddle disruptions and that seemed to me one of the main reasons for Anderson's big drop off last year. He always had Edwards and KWII chirpping in his ear. Might be the reason Mangini went with Quinn to start the season, he put a lot on huddle presence and managing the game. Maybe now Anderson can get a bid more comfortable and forceful in the huddle. If the team realizes he is the leader and not bowing to Edwards, he could progress as a QB.

Braylon is a lot like that really hot chick all the guys want to get with. However once you get with her after a few months you realize she can't suck cock for shit, or refuses to on most occasions, she only puts out once a month and can't cook for shit. Sure she looks nice on your arms when you go out in public, but that's about all she's good for...Good move for the Browns
then you find out she has a penis....boom-shakka-lakka-lakka-boom!!!!

Thanks for the info!! Yeah really anything is better then nothing.

Ytown, is your post true? You seem to have connections but can you at least elaborate a little on the source of your info?
If true, I support the fines even more than before. Disgraceful and immature behavior deserves maximum fining.
