    I've been looking around on different sites and he's not listed. I thought he was but I guess not. The only top WR out there is TJ Houshmanzadeh but I don't think he's the receiver the Jets need. He's a better version of Cotchery but I think we need a faster receiver.

    Not sure if he'd want to come to the team that broke his face.

    The front office will do a good job of bringing in some good talent just as they did one year ago. I will be looking forward to the offseason if we have a coach and support staff that wants to win!

    If Favre comes back he does need that deep threat. Boldin could be the threat if he does want out of Arizona.

    I like Braylon, but the guy drops way too many passes.

    Got a link on the Edwards thing. Every report I had read says he wants to stay in Cleveland.

    i dont have the link..but you can google it..but here is the artical




    In yet another sign of the disaster that is the 2008 edition of the Cleveland Browns, receiver Braylon Edwards sounds like a guy who’s trying to talk his way out of town.

    If, you know, they don’t kill him before he leaves.

    Actually, we love Cleveland fans. There’s no more loyal bunch, and no more deserving of something/anything to feel good about when it comes to their sports teams.

    Edwards likely doesn’t agree with our assessment, based on his recent REMARKS.

    After Monday night’s loss to the Eagles, Edwards suggested that his ties to Michigan football have kept him from being embraced by the folks in Ohio.

    Seriously.

    “I’ve learned being here that I’m very unappreciated,” Edwards said. “Not in the organization, just in the eyes of the fans, the city. Since Day One I’ve been a marked man coming from Michigan. It’s just gone that way. Even when things are good, there’s heckles.”

    Braylon, please do a little research on Thom Darden before coming to any conclusions regarding whether Browns fans hold grudges about guys who played for Michigan.

    On Tuesday, Edwards continued to chirp.

    “I’m not Paul Warfield, Webster Slaughter or Jim Brown,” Edwards said, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I’ve given my all to this city for four years, and I realize it will never be enough. I went to the Pro Bowl last year and resurrected this team from the darkness, and nobody cared.”

    There’s more.

    “People in this town believe they are entitled to too much. They have been disrespectful to me and my family. I’ve gone out in public with my family and have had to deal with being called foul names. My parents have been called vulgar things at restaurants.”

    Hey, Bray, if you thought things were bad before, just wait until they see you and your folks out at the local eateries now. (P.S. Don’t order the bouillabaisse.)

    “My biggest problem is that I actually give a damn,” Edwards said. “I’m always rushing back from surgeries and injuries, never missing games or practices. But through this, I’ve learned how to overcome adversity. I’m also proud of how my foundation has taken off. I’ve been doing all this community service in Cleveland . . . my charity efforts will only be in Detroit from now on.”

    OK, Browns fans didn’t care about the Michigan thing before. But now they probably do.

    We’ve seen this routine before, and we know what Edwards is up to. Given his jump earlier this year to CAA and his awkward presence on the set of the whole Bissinger-Leitch thing, chances are that Edwards fancies himself a potential crossover media star. You know, the kind of guy who’ll get a movie in which he plays a role other than that of a current or former football player.

    But Edwards apparently thinks he’ll never be in position to become a national superstar/celebrity while toiling away for an underachieving team in a Rust Belt town.

    Signed through 2009, it could be that Edwards is trying to lay the foundation for an offseason trade to a new team, and the $10 million per year deal that would go along with it.

    But it would have to be a team with a profile that will allow Edwards to become the big deal he thinks he is.

    In other words, he likely wants to play for the Cowboys.

    I really like Boldin as a WR, but we need speed on the outside. I don't think he brings that to the table.

    yeah Braylon is a bust he had one great season. I honestly do not think Boldin has hard feelings for the Jets, he does not appear to be someone who got that upset over the hit he knows its part of the game. Hell the cowboys accepted TO after he did his little dance on the star in Texas Stadium

    I got idea. We should make him a contract offer that includes a stipulation that he can hit Eric Smith in the back of the head with a shovel.

    Huh? Braylon Edwards is a bust on what planet?

    Not only is he young, talented, and a good season away from joining the leagues elite...but he's also a classy guy by all accounts...he's done as much charity/volunteer work in Cleveland as anyone else out there.

    TJ Houshmandzadeh FOR THE WIN, he may not be a TRUE deep threat but the man has the agility to get deep he has the speed, and would compliment the Cotch man pretty well, TJ's hands alone is good enough for him to be a great player on the Jets

    been talking about trying to go for him for weeks now, most concider him a possesion receiver but hes great at getting seperation and can demand double coverage, would free up cotch more expecially if he start using keller more effectively.

    Boldin is not a true deep threat. He is the best WR after the catch, though.

    Steve Breaston is Arizona's deep threat.

    I expect the Cardinals to rework Boldin's contract in the offseason. They'll restructure Matt Leinart's contract, if they keep Kurt Warner. They'll probably cut Edgerrin James and use some of that money for Boldin.
