"I was released today by the 49ers due to my injury that required more time to rehab and hasn’t allowed me to re-sync with the offense," Edwards said. "I wish the 49ers organization the best of luck during the playoffs. I will be working hard this offseason to strengthen my knee and prepare for the 2012 season. Thanks for your continued support and for being such loyal fans."
Edwards, in his seventh season, suffered a knee injury on the third play from scrimmage in a Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys and never has been able to fully recover since. The former Pro Bowl selection has played in just nine games, hauling in 15 catches for 181 yards and no touchdowns.
The 49ers signed Edwards to a one-year, $3.5 million contract back in August

I didn't think a guy could be released while he was rehabbing an injury. That reason sounds more like an excuse.
How far has this schmo fallen? Traded by the Browns, cut by the Jets, cut by the 49ers.
Can we officially call this guy....who was the third overall pick in the draft, a certified Bust?

I guess he can no longer use the excuse that he is only hated because he is from Michigan, which was his excuse that he used while in Cleveland! Nope he just sucks! Perhaps he'll have better luck playing in the CFL or the Arena League.

hmm...to hear certain posters tell it, mangini committed a cardinal sin getting rid of this "playmaker"....

His talent wasn't overrated, what was between his ears was. His continued dropped passes were a mental failure. His questionable character in some areas (not all areas) was obvious mental. His cancerous attitude was mental. Whether or not he was now released because of physical ailments is speculative. The 49ers were obviously not willing to allow him to heal on their dime.

You can be injured and get released but you have to be able to pass a physical. I'm not sure what the rules in the new CBA are so it might be different now
Braylon was hampered by an injury that he never fully recovered from but he was healthy enough to pass a physical and even play a few extra snaps...unfortunately the injury just didn't allow him to get back to his true form
Braylon is no bust but he has had some terrible QBs throwing him the ball

First off, here is Braylon's true form:
Secondly, all those terrible QBs kept throwing the ball right right between the numbers.
Braylon is a bust in EVERY sense of the word.

He can't even catch when the action is fake:

I know you hate all the talented players that leave Cleveland or hint at leaving Cleveland..maybe because ur bitter but Braylon is a pro bowl talent when he's healthy
That doesn't sound like a bust to me...you can post vids of his drops and I can turn around and post highlights just as easily
Of course ur negative ass only remembers the drops and not the ridiculous diving one handed grabs or leaping over double coverages to snag in uncatchable passes out of nowhere
That's my point. When Hillis leaves you'll point as his injury or his fumbles and say he sucked but you'll forget all of his highlight runs and catches

Just not enough of this:
And this is worth it just for the background photos:

Good chance he may go to the Jets as a WR.
He does not deserve to be paid like a #1 but is nevertheless is a deep threat and will be a starter on many poor to mediocre teams or good teams looking to solidify their WR corps.

I'd take him back in a second. With Braylon back and Little across from him and Norwood in the slot. With Moore and Cameron in there at TightEnd. It could be like 07 all over again!

He is still a player with good potential. I dont expect him to be out of the NFL once his injuries have healed.

1) I'll never rag on Hillis, because he wasn't a first round pick like Edwards, (we got PH for nothing) and his top season = that of Edwards.
2) BS Edwards is a Pro Bowl level athlete with HANDS OF STONE- he's proved it again and again. Damn he proved it @ Michigan- and dumbass Savage drafted him anyway. A WR who can't catch the damn ball consistently is WORTHLESS. He's now been dumped by 3 teams- for an #3 overall pick,that SCREAMS BUST. Doubly, we could have drafted Aaron Rodgers instead of this bum.
Go ahead, post his circus catches, and I can match you tit for tat where he got hit on the hands, or right between the 1 and 7 and dropped it. Some of the drops came in critical situations where they were in fact game changers.
If the guy would spend more time in the film room instead of in Nightclubs trying to entice Beyonce with $300 bottles of champagne,maybe he'd amount to something- his next stop will be his last fer certain, good or bad. Some team may take a flyer on him in 2012 for vet minimum.
PS Eric Mangini is laughing his ass off, right now.

What Mr. Hoorta said. Exactly.

Yep, Braylon's issues were in his head. Athletic, yes. Make some great catches, yes. But his problem was his predisposed bloated EGO before he ever did anything. Remember his comment about 2 TD catches for every gold medal won by Phelps, that right there tells you the guy's mental state. He self-coronated himself when at the time he was only worthy of the court jester.
