J - E - T - S DROPS DROPS DROPS!!!!lmao! but seriously, atleast the browns don't have to play the jets.
Im sure Braylon will be a highly motivated jet, and be a big part of their offense..
does anybody think he will play next monday in Miami?
-
So basically, we have to root for the Jets and Braylon to have an awesome year so that can be turned into a second rounder.
What a double edged sword, we want to hate him, but we have to cheer for him

Knowing Edwards, if he needs 80 receptions (for example), he would get 79 to screw us once more.

Is there any chance the nfl suspends Braylon for a game or two? anyone heard any news about that

diddnt winslow have a 2 TD game the other week, that deal worked well for them, plus Bryant is coming back which will take heat off Winslow, expect him to go off again this week

I like Winslow.
But he has 50 more receiving yards than Robert Royal, one more TD and got a $36 million deal where almost all of it is guaranteed. He can't block a lick and is a good hit or two from being back on IR.
Didn't we get MoMass with the second rounder we traded for him?
Advantage Mangini.

I'd rather have a 3rd rounder than root for that pompous ass.
Anybody want to take bets on how long it will be before BE is whining and crying about how the fans in NY? Too bad the "they hate me cuz I'm from Michigan" crap won't fly there. He'll have to come up with a whole new excuse like "they hate me cuz I'm beautiful".

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

LMAO,
now that's funny. But, oh so true at the same time.

I am sure this has been hashed and rehashed several times, but I like this trade.
1. Stuckey: He is a slot type receiver. I know we currently have Furrey, but is on a one year contract...and likely won't be returning next year. That means that Stuckey is likely our slot guy as the year goes on and into the future. Besides, it opens up the chance for Furrey to play more on defense.
2. Jason Trusnik is a LB and a fantastic ST contributor. He is a big guy at 6'4" 250, so he may even fit into a rotation at some point at LB.
3. TWO PICKS! I heard 3 and 5, with the 3 going to a 2 if BE performs. Basically, we are getting the same trade that the NYG were offering before.
4. Playing Time....for Robiskie. We will likely see our 2 2nd round draft picks extensively from this point forward...meaning we get to see what kind of draft we really had this year....and meaning we will have BOTH of them with experience going into next year.
5. No more BE DROPSIES! May be my favorite point.
I know we are not going to see immediate improvement due to this trade...but long term it may be just what the doctor ordered!!!

Where Mangini f'd up was in not moving BE and BQ before the year. But at this point, anything we get for Braylon is a plus because he's gone at the end of the year anyway.
Did anyone see the interview with him last week? He said something about signing a 5-yr contract here but left it abundantly clear that he's outta here after that.
They should've traded them both but would have been lambasted (even more) for trading them. Now, 4 games in, the trade value for each is abysmal and hindsight shows Kokonuts and Mangini should've traded them for the best value BEFORE the season.
I'd bet Clowney is in the deal somehow.

I know I am way behind the times as I played 36 and had lunch at the course, but Mangini didn't screw up. He is a coach with a new team...he had to see who was a player and who would buy in to the program..we don't need to bash mangini for this....I actually like the move, and at this point still don't know what all we got as I stopped reading to make this comment.

This is a no brainer. A good trade.
How did you do?

This is going to be like the Steelers getting rid of Plexico. Here comes a superbowl Braylon

Honestly, I don't care what happens with BE going forward...just like with K2. The fact is, NEITHER was going to be part of the long term plans for the Browns. K2 because of his injuries...and BE because he was a FA next year and had already stated he didn't like playing here (something about Michigan player in Ohio State territory....nothing to do with the dropsies).
BE can go on and win a SB with the Jets and it won't diminish the fact that the Browns got 2 solid players and 2 draft picks for a guy they were going to lose for absolutely NOTHING after the season.
This was a great idea after we found the Browns were not going anywhere this year. If we had won 2 or 3 before this week...well, I bet he would still be on the team.

I know this isnt the popular opinion but I think we shot ourselves in the foot with this trade on the short-term perspective. Braylon was a playmaker. He can make huge plays and is a deep threat to any team.
No one we have will be able to fill that hole that Braylon left. Maybe Massaqoi can.... but he's a rookie and is still developing. He did well last week but how well will he fare as the team's No.1 WR? He'll get double teamed and harrased by safties. The reason he had a great game last week is because the Bengals were preoccupied with double teaming Braylon which left Massaquoi to step up. There's no way he will have that kind of opportunity again.
Stuckey is Mangini's teacher's pet. The HC was really high on him when he was over with the Jets... and I'm sure he's salivating to have him once again. Mangini praises his football smarts and intellect... but Stuckey is slow and has trouble getting separation. Moreover, Jets fans have complained about his dropped balls. He's not going to be a replacement for Bray-bray... He's a wide-out and fits in the slot.
That leaves us with Robiski, who we know nothing about except the fact that there's some reason he's horrible enough to bench, and Furrey, who is our 3rd down guy. Where will Furrey go if Stuckey takes over? Saftey? Do you really think he can out-play the safties we have already?
Now, on the flip side, there's things I like about this trade. In terms of long-term goals I see this being an adequate solution to our WR problems. Robo and MoMass need to step up and if we get them the playing time they should, hopefully one of them can develop into something great. At least Furrey and Stuckey have some veteran presence to help them along. Unfortunately, all of this hinges on our two WR rookies being able to consistently produce, which is something we havn't seen so far (one good game is not enough for Momass). As for Trusnik, I'm sure he can produce and I like the guy, but he doesnt address one of our many needs.
As for the draft picks.... I wish we could have gotten a 2nd rounder at least for Braylon. We got jipped. To put it in perspective, lets look at Roy Williams, who was taken 7th in the '04 draft. He's put up similar numbers to Edwards, with 2 +1000 yard seasons. Williams was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on October 14, 2008 for first, third and sixth round picks. Damn, I wish we could have gotten that instead.
So, just from a trade perspective, we dumped off our biggest playmaker for a slow wideout, a special teamer, and a 3rd and 5th pick.
Well, at least Edwards is gone and we got some picks out of him... I mean, we could have done worse but I think we could have done a lot better. Part of me is just seeing this as Mangini getting his hands on more of his beloved Jets players. I have mixed feelings about this trade. Basically, if our rookie WRs can produce then I wont feel so bad about this trade, but right now our team looks very vulnerable and frankly, we're a less effective offense at this point.

Sorry man, but BE had fallen behind Roy Williams. Your overrating BE to the extent, your post makes little sense.
-
Over the past 3 years, Edwards put up an averaged 200 yards more than Williams each season. In the same timeframe, Williams has had 14 TDs; Edwards had 25.
Your post makes little sense. Sorry, try again, and try to be less of a douchebag next time.

Take away 2007 and the picture will clear for you. Your post hence, makes little sense. BE's value really collapsed in 2008 and we saw the results of that last spring. The Lions were smart to get rid of Williams when they did. Had they waited to the offseason, he would be worth much less.
It is what it is, don't try and force it.
Oh yeah FWIW, we will get a 2nd rounder if BE decides he wants to play football.
