Jets Acquire Braylon Edwards From Browns

Months ago there was speculation that the Jets were interested in bringing in a big time wide receiver to the team; some suspected it might be Plaxico Burress, but that idea died when Burress was sentenced to jail soon thereafter.

As it so happens early this morning, the Jets finally got that number one wide receiver.

The Jets acquired Braylon Edwards from the Cleveland Browns for third receiver Chansi Stuckey and linebacker Jason Trusnik.

Edwards had fallen out of favor with Brown's coach Eric Mangini in Cleveland. He tried to trade him to the Giants during the spring, and after Edwards got into a bar fight earlier this week, that was the last straw for the Mangenius.

Now Edwards brings his 6'3" frame to Florham Park to become the Jets new number one receiver. He is, without a doubt, the tallest and best receiver the Jets have had since Keyshawn Johnson in 1999. Edwards has only 10 catches for 139 yards this year, but those figures should jump up quickly.
