In '09 the browns traded him. We let him walk after the '10 season. The 49ers cut him in '11. Edwards has always been seen as a talented guy with off field problems. It seems more and more that teams are not seeing his production as worth the attitude. Talent alone will not keep you on an Nfl roster, unless you are an otherworldly player like Randy Moss and Edwards is nothing more than a good #2.
Jets rule out bringing Braylon Back http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/jets_won_call_braylon_lDtyGp2i24s3vOcXGgnVtL Jets won’t call Braylon Jets Blog By BRIAN COSTELLO Last Updated: 4:52 AM, June 18, 2012 Posted: 1:51 AM, June 18, 2012 Share on email Share on facebook More Sharing ServicesMore Print It’s time for Jets fans to forget about a Braylon Edwards sequel.

I can see the rational behind this post. I would argue, that we signed the same “problem child” with tone (sands the knee injury and 6 inches). I mean we took a chance on Plax last year and his off the field problems (not to mention on the field lack of separation, basically a big TE). Sanchez and Edwards had some obvious chemistry, I have yet to see Mark build on anything similar to that (outside of Keller) last year. I hope he continues to develop chemistry with Holmes (doubt it), and JK. The real test will be how Mark develops with Hill. While my hopes are high that Chaz can stay healthy, I wouldn’t bet on it. With that said, close the book on Braylon, I thought he was at least worth a incentive based contract with behavior, health, and production clauses.
For Mark Sanchez to reach greatness you need to surround him with offensive weapons. Hes no Joe Montana or Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay surrounded by multiple WRs. I have always been a fan of taller WRs. I feel they are better targets for a QB and they go up and get the overthrown balls. My admiration for Braylon Edwards comes with what he did here in 2009-2010 been a longtime since a WR did that here.
Guess that puts the Braylon thing to bed. Unless they have something else planned (and there isn't much available now) I guess we're going into the season with our current receiving core. I think Holmes will have a bounce back year and I think Hill has a lot of promise but it would have been good to pick up someone who could contribute a bit more from day 1 if for no other reason than to take a bit of pressure off of Sanchez. Guess we'll see what happens.
Thank god the Jets finally ruled this out. Rational fans knew this all along, but this hopefully quiets the irrational ones.
Good Now we can srop with the nonsense pleas begging for his return Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
My take on Braylon: He's an extremely gifted and talented athlete that got by his whole life on talent alone. He never cared too much to better himself with hard work and now that his physical skills are diminished with the knee injury he will not be nearly as effective unless he completely changes his work ethic and attitude. I also wonder if the rumors to him being gay are true and the locker room doesn't care for it.
If hes gay its his business. To each is own. Hes also a charitable guy if we're gonna bash him we might as well give him props for the good he does. http://braylonedwards.com/
I wasn't bashing him at all, I was just throwing a theory out there that I've kicked around in my head.
What an original thought. http://vlsportysexycool.com/2011/06/26/braylon-edwards-wrecks-his-car-rumored-to-be-on-gay-date/
so you are saying that a healthy Braylon would not help this team? Who the Rational one here then bud?
What's your deal? I wasn't trying to claim the idea that he might be gay was original. I specifically referenced "the rumors". I know he's your BFF and all, but your overly defensive stance on him is really creepy. The only reason I referenced the gay rumor was that I think that may be a part of the reason why he has been getting bounced around. I imagine that could be an issue in the locker room.
My deal? Im a longtime NYJETS fan who wants to win a Super Bowl again. My BFF here you go again assuming............:breakdance: Creepy is you trollong everything I post. Hey dont Hills major knee injuries scare you?
Maybe we'll use the extra million or so to ensure that the best OL that gets cut comes here. That's the engine the offense will run on, anyway. What good would another wideout be if we can't keep the quarterback upright, or get the running game going to keep the defense honest?
