Who will trade for Edwards??
-
Just heard a very interesting rumor from a caller on Sirius radio. He said that the reason the Giants are trying to hard to sign Canty is because they have a deal in the works with us to get BE and we would receive Kiwanuka and a pick. Thoughts?

Wow...Kiwanuka AND a pick? Get it done now! Base salary of $650,000 this year and 725K next. Plus 3 mil in incentives.
He's not a free agent until 2011.
That would open up even more cap space.

Hometown guy Barry Cofield recently had a "complicated [knee] scope", which may explain why the Giants signed Bernard and Canty.
Cofield's a free agent after this season. Assuming the knee checks out, I wonder if the Giants would be willing to part with him.

the Giants forum rumors has us getting a 1st, 4th, and 6th or 7th for edwards

Do you support moving Edwards peen?Yes.
My opinion is Edwards is going to be a problem to sign. I fear we are going to have to franchise him to keep him.
I feel that would be way to much money to pay him and would reduce or position in being able to trade him. I think now is the best time to work a trade to provide maximum leverage in our favor.
I know it would put us behind the 8-ball possibly for this season at the receiver position, leaving us with a inexperienced player or some FA we would have to sign.
But in the end, Edwards reminds me of "Leon"...the excuse making player in the beer commercials. I just don't think those are the best guys to have on your team.....especially if we change our offensive focus from a deeper passing team to one that runs and throw short, controlled passes. Edwards just isn't a short, over the middle kind of guy.
I can see big problems on the horizon if we keep him.

Braylon has pledged $1 million of his own money for Cleveland School scholarships. Who else on the team has done that? What has Joe Thomas pledged? Others?
What kind of guys do you want on the team?

Kiwanuka (6'5" 265) posted 8.0 sacks last year. I thought the word on him was that he was a bit of a disappointment prior to that.
I wouldn't think that the pick would be very high. Maybe a 4th or 5th?

As far as sacks he may have been disappointing. I think he had 4 in 2007. But he's done a great job making tackles. Averaging around 50 a year. His numbers are better than Canty's.
He's only 25 years old.
If they are offering a 3rd or 4th and Kiwanuka, I'd hope they'd pull the trigger on this deal

He offered 1 million in scholarships through his foundation. Not to the Cleveland schools, but to individuals. More than likely he is not giving a million of his own money. It comes from a foundation.
But as far as who the fans would like to see playing WR? One that holds on to a ball. One that doesn't blame his QB for his drops. One that isn't paranoid and doesn't claim everyone hates him because he's from UM and drives a Bentley.
The guy is a piece of work. Regardless of any charity.

And guess what- money from foundations first needs to come from individuals (Braylon). People give money to Foundations and Foundations make the final decisions on who gets it. Braylon has hired people (likely volunteers) who are skilled in deciding where or whom the money should go. That's common.

No doubt.....if it is his foundation, he seeded it with his money, and no matter how you slice it.....a million bucks is a sizeable sum.

Any Links????

People who really know who Braylon is don't think of him as a selfish, "Leon" from beer commercials type guy. He's an intelligent, articulate, motivated young guy... regardless of whether he can catch the ball.
Plaxico is me first ... TO is me first ...
Braylon, like Larry Fitzgerald ... is not.
