They could have been green.
While it's certainly not on the level of Bo Kimble shooting left-handed free throws in honor of Hank Gathers, I think it's just a gesture of a guy being a friend & a team mate. No need to get worked up over. He's not starting, remember?

Trade of Edwards signals new era for Browns
By Marla Ridenour
Beacon Journal staff writer
POSTED: 09:40 p.m. EDT, Oct 07, 2009
BEREA: Browns backup quarterback Brady Quinn went to practice Wednesday wearing a shiny pair of orange shoes.
''They're Braylon's,'' Quinn said. ''Yeah, in honor of Braylon . . . ''
As Braylon Edwards was traded to the New York Jets on Wednesday morning, there were undercurrents of concern from his teammates about what the Browns' offense will be like without its talented but inconsistent No. 1 wide receiver.
No one seemed to believe that it made the Browns a better team, a question that even coach Eric Mangini dodged.
But there was no mistaking the message Mangini sent in shipping Edwards to the Jets just two days after an altercation outside a Cleveland nightclub in which he allegedly punched a friend of LeBron James. The NFL and the Cleveland police are investigating the incident, and Edwards could be subject to a fine or suspension by the league for violating its personal conduct policy.
Mangini first got his players' attention with a Feb. 27 trade of controversy-plagued tight end Kellen Winslow to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
''This is a business and the business is winning,'' Browns left tackle Joe Thomas said. ''And the man in charge is going to decide if you're helping us win. If you're not, you're going to be gone.''
Quarterback Derek Anderson said, ''Eric has made it clear what he expects and that's fine with me, and it should be fine with everybody else.''
Asked what message he sent by trading Winslow and Edwards, Mangini said: ''It's about us trying to build the team and to continue to grow. It's not something that happens overnight.''
Edwards was dealt to the Jets for linebacker and special teams ace Jason Trusnik, a Nordonia High School product, the Jets' No. 2 receiver Chansi Stuckey and two draft choices. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 2010 picks are a conditional third- and a fifth-rounder, the former turning into a second-rounder if Edwards reaches a designated number of receptions this season.
Edwards surprised
''I hadn't a clue I was going to get traded,'' Edwards said at his Jets press conference. He said he received a call from Mangini when he was driving to work at 7:45 a.m. ''To come to a team that's 3-1, I'm happy to get a fresh start.
''Coming here where everything is going well, I believe it will help me because you get tired of talking about the negative. The negative builds up and builds up and that frustrates you. Frustrations weigh on you when things are consistently negative. Every day there's different questions, different stuff you read, you hear, you go out to eat and you hear . . . I've never been around anything like that. That will probably make me stronger for the rest of my life.''
Mangini said Edwards said nothing in his Monday meeting with him that prompted the trade, even though the incident outside the View Ultralounge and Nightclub in which he allegedly punched promoter Edward Givens appeared to be the last straw.
''I had a good conversation with him there, we talked through the different things involved, did research,'' Mangini said. ''I wouldn't say one was necessarily a trigger to anything else. To me, this is a chance for Braylon to have a fresh start. That's good for him. In terms of what we were able to do with the trade, it's good for us.''
Changing of guard
In 2007 when the Browns went 10-6 and fell a game shy of the playoffs, Edwards and Winslow combined for 162 receptions, 2,395 yards and 21 touchdowns. Now Mangini must make do with a younger receiving corps. He said he would have no reservation about starting two rookies — Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie — Sunday at the Buffalo Bills.
''If those are the two guys who make the strongest case, there wouldn't be any hesitation at all,'' Mangini said.
Other options are Joshua Cribbs or Mike Furrey alongside Massaquoi.
Jets coach Rex Ryan expects Edwards to start Monday night against the Dolphins in Miami.
''The thing about Braylon coming here, he doesn't have to put the team on his shoulders,'' Ryan said at his press conference. ''He can go out and relax, play loose, have fun and be part of a heckuva football team. That should be great for him.''
Mangini, fired by the Jets on the day after the season, has set up his former team well. A draft-day deal with the Browns allowed the Jets to select quarterback Mark Sanchez with the fifth overall pick, and he earned the starting job. Mangini said he had no trepidation about handing the Jets another talented player.
''No, none whatsoever,'' he said. ''Contrary to popular belief, we do trade with teams other than the Jets and we do talk to teams other than the Jets.''
Monday morning's alleged altercation was just one in a litany of incidents for Edwards since he was taken third overall in the 2005 draft. He was partying with Donte' Stallworth hours before Stallworth drove drunk and killed pedestrian Mario Reyes in Miami Beach in March. Last August, Edwards was stopped for driving 120 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 90 in Avon. Edwards was voted to his first Pro Bowl in 2007, setting a franchise record with 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns, then led the league in dropped passes in 2008.
He's sure to love the attention and the nightlife in New York, although his wardrobe might need some alterations. His new teammates ragged on him for the ''high water'' pants he was wearing with a gray suit when he arrived in the locker room.
Chances are he'll get them lengthened immediately. Last Friday when Quinn gave tight end Robert Royal the jacket off his back, Edwards checked the label and told Royal, ''You need some Louis Vuitton tennis shoes to go with that.''
''They're Braylon's,'' Quinn said. ''Yeah, in honor of Braylon . . . ''
What a dick move. Little kid pouting and showing management he was to be traded too. What a fag. Any respect I had for this dude just flew out the window.
p.s. he knew he was never going to practice so he wears a shoe that is 5 sizes too big. See Brady wears bitch shoes, a size 7.
Luck is Tim Couch. Big, Dumb Goofy, slow thinking QB - Ghoolie, 2-28-12 -

Ummm...what?
How do you know he didn't switch shoes once practice started.
I'm not seeing it. Guys do stuff like this for traded teammates all the time; for all we know, he and Quinn are good friends.
And if you don't have a chance to start...like Mangini said - you don't want a guy who wants to be a backup.
-
again i fail to understand what the fuss is all about.

Great post, I agree.
Thanks, I was just in the process of buying a horse for a Night at the Races Fundraiser, and you helped me with a name.

LoL I really lawled at that one! hehehehe

Wow, I hope there's more context behind Quinn's deal with the shoes. Otherwise, that's really a horrid move. I mean really out there.
If it had been Jim Brown being traded in his 10th year, that's one thing.

Braylon starting to badmouth Cleveland.

And just a quick question what the hell is Amber's booty club? And can I join?

@jadbf said:
That good ole BE would be bad mouthing cleveland...and....it's a long story.....
Got it and got it.

Edwards has wanted out, there's no way he would have signed with Cleveland after this year.
I swear it looked at times like he was actually dropping passes because he just didn't care, and
was showing it.
To get two high character, talented players like what Mangini looks for, and two draft picks? ROF,LMAO !
Genius. A third round draft pick could get us an OG, or ORT, RB, who knows? But it will be a huge
addition, in place of getting nothing for him at the end of this season.
Ah, I just love the move. And listening to Braylons' press conference, it is STILL all about him to him.
Good freakin riddance.

Hmmmmm..... When I saw he went to Nordonia HS- thought hey, my sister's kids went there too. Turns out she's good friends with his aunt, and knows the guy. Don't think we'll see any 2:30 AM nightclub altercations out of Jason.
