Braylon Edwards Traded to Jets

Braylon edwards jets, Adam Schefter is reporting on ESPN (via FanHouse) that the Jets have traded for Braylon Edwards.

Edwards had a good year in 2007, and he bested Darrelle Revis in that Browns-Jets game, if you remember. Edwards is one of those frustrating guys, who has all the talent in the world, but seems to either not want to, or not care to play football to his full abilities. Edwards seems more concerned with how he looks, where he parties and what his Q rating is. Still this trade has been talked about for months and months, so where there’s smoke, eventually there’s going to be fire.

Whatever the Jets gave up, it better not be in expectation of what value he could bring to the team, but rather what his current value is. The Browns probably decided to let Edwards go after his incident with a teammate on Sunday, and then with Bron Bron’s entourage later Sunday night / Monday morning. It was time for Mangini to part ways with Braylon, but good for the Jets, his value couldn’t be lower.

Until proven otherwise, I think that Edwards is a punk, but nevertheless, a talented punk. This trade reminds me of the Latrell Sprewell days as a Knick. Before he played for my team, I hated him, once he was dropping 25 a game, he was my man.

I’d not be surprised if Brad Smith isn’t involved in the compensation of this deal. Still, even if there isn’t a player going back to Cleveland, it will likely be one of those squishy valued escalating value picks that Tannenbaum likes to use. Still, I’ll be mad if the team paid more than a third rounder for Braylon Edwards, who is at the nadir of his career right now.
