Getty Images An FBI official said today the Cleveland Browns contacted the Bureau about "possible threats" to their former wide receiver Braylon Edwards following an altercation outside a Downtown Cleveland nightclub, Cleveland.com reports.

"They were concerned regarding that incident," Special Agent Scott Wilson said. "We had some conversations with the Browns about possible threats."

Despite these conversations, he said no investigation is pending. It was unclear if any threats were made or what prompted the Browns' concern.

Profootballtalk.com reports that Edwards punched Edward Givens, a Cleveland events promoter, outside the View Ultralounge & Nightclub club on Oct. 5. No charges were filed but a police report, with Edwards' name redacted, was filed. Givens, a friend of NBA star LeBron James, claimed the scuffle was sparked by Edwards' anger at the Cavaliers forward.

On Oct. 7, Edwards was traded to the New York Jets

I checked out his account today and there was some pretty nasty things people were saying to him.

I wish Braylon the best of luck. I would like him to be with the Browns still but that is water under the bridge.

Better to let it go. He's gone. Thats it. No use going crazy.

unfortunately even after people leave, they still come back and say shit to make them feel tough, and hurt peoples wittle feelings.

Oh, and I also think wasting time saying shit to Braylon after he departed is stupid too.

If only Braylon had a Thanks button ...
