    If Mario Manningham was actually on the table, then yeah, CLE really should have made the move before the draft. Stucky is not Manningham

    It's only rumor that either Hixon or Manningham were on the table. Could be that's what the Browns might have been asking for. Rumor also was that if it included a player then the offer dropped to a #3 and #5 and those are low in the round. But, you really never know if there was a serious offer.

    I think we got great value for him now. Especially since he is in the last year of his contract.

    I love the fact that it isn't bothering DA. In fact he seems happy. Sort of like when they told Romo that TO was traded.

    As I said, IF CLE truly could have had Manningham and picks for BE, they blew it by passing on that. It was better value than what CLE just got now.

    It's only great value if the picks CLE gets from the Jets turn into players that significantly contribute.

    While TO is a tool, DAL and Romo offensively aren't looking all the great w/o him (not that BUF is looking great w/ him).

    We'll see how DA fairs w/o Edwards presense on the outside. He may not remain happy about the loss of BE. Any QB who can't manage the egos in the huddle is not long for the roll of starting NFL QB.

    What makes you think DA couldn't manage Braylon's ego? He didn't cave-in and throw it to him did he?

    In fact, it seems that Brady Quinn had goo-goo eyes for ole Braylon, may be evidence that 'he' couldn't manage the ego!

    That was to the whole notion I have seen in a few posts that removing his yapping and Winslow's yapping in the huddle will make DA a better QB, and make it his team by their removal.

    could of would have should have.... assumption on details that are not known on a possible trade nothing in writing.... hindsight 20 20 blah blah blah...

    No true experienced reciever on staff at the beginning of the season besides braylon, stallworth gone.... kw gone, no known targets, jamal kind of old.... a QB derby.... lots of other player turn over...

    awful hard for any coach walking in to that situation to make a decision....

    I dont care really... he is gone.. we got something, he did squat in 4 games except drop more balls..... he is a prima donna if i have ever seen one definately not a team guy.... good riddance.

    I hope he does well in NY that way IF the rumour is true we move up and get a 2nd round guy that will be much easier on our salary cap anyways.... Buy Bye.... (insert any michigan derogatory statement)
