Thoughts on the New York Jets' Acquisition of Braylon Edwards

The New York Jets recently traded a few players for the Cleveland Browns' top wide receiver, Braylon Edwards, a University of Michigan stud wide receiver who has now been in the league for several years. The Jets have been making some big moves this year so far, drafting Mark Sanchez and starting him at quarterback and hiring Coach Ryan to lead the team.

This trade could be a big risk for the Jets, but could also end up working out very well. Edwards had one great season two years ago in which he was one of the top wide receivers in the league. However, since then, he has fallen off the map, consistently dropping balls and not developing a better rapport with either of his two former quarterbacks Brady Quinn or Derek Andersen. In addition, he was recently involved in a fight at a nightclub over supposed jealousy of Lebron James's fame in Cleveland.

With all that being said, Braylon Edwards is talented and can easily turn his life and on-field performance around. We all saw his potential during the 2007-2008 season and if he lands in the right place with the right quarterback, he could be a dangerous threat once again. If the trade works out and he comes to close to being his former self, the Jets will have an excellent core of receivers, including Jerricho Cotchery, Dustin Keller, the Tight End, and now Edwards.

Only time will tell if Braylon can control himself off the field and live up to his ego on the field. New York could be a tough place to play, but Jets fans will welcome him with open arms and hope that he can produce once again. The Jets are in for a fun season and this just adds to the excitement
