Looks like the Redskins are the front runners

I have mixed feelings about this. He's talented, but does he have the drive to be anything more than a disappointment?

Pats and Gints just jumped in... Skins not into bidding wars, Maybe/hopefully the asking price will be too high

He's talented? That's like calling the Sistine Chapel "pretty"...

Okay, I'm just kidding. Shockingly Edwards hasn't had a 1,000 yard year since 2007. He's 28 and he just hasn't done anything that impressive since his amazing 2007 campaign. I'd want for us to get him because we need wideouts in the worst way, and he'd fit a role we've been missing for many years, a big, physical #1. I just wonder what the price will be, and how motivated he is.

50-50 2.0
No thanks

Surprisingly Braylon only dropped 1 ball last year I was shocked when I saw that stat on ESPN News the other day. With John Beck at QB and our porous offensive line it will not matter if we sign Braylon.

Can confirm this about Braylon Edwards: He is talking to the #Cardinals ...remember he is best friends with out old friend, @kerryrhodes

12 drops in 3 years isn't bad.... four each year, just seems to come in bunches.

If dropped passes is your main argument not to sign Braylon then where were you when they re-signed Moss:

Braylon Edwards - WR - Jets
Mike Jurecki of XTRA Phoenix reports that the Cardinals are "working on a deal" with free agent Braylon Edwards.
Jurecki cautions that "it could fall through," but expect the Cards to be considered among this year's biggest free agency winners if they close this deal. The addition of Edwards would give Arizona perhaps the most dangerous one-two punch of receivers in the NFC, along with Larry Fitzgerald. It makes sense for the Cards to jump into the Edwards bidding with his market moving slowly.

1. Moss is the only truly competent WR on this team
2. Wouldn't have disturbed me a bit to see him go.

What's your point?

I don't think we want a player who is still involved with the criminal justice system.

The Jets are making a push for the Super Bowl and they have no interest in keeping him. That tells me about as much as I need to know.

They picked between him and Santonio Holmes. They think Holmes fits what they need better, and they can't get both. I don't think it tells us that much at all about what they think of him as a player.

They signed Plax today too

Which only enforces my argument. A lot of teams go with a big, physical WR and team him with a smaller, quicker one (the Skins did this with Monk and Clark),

The Jets liked what Holmes did in their offense and thought he was a good fit, so that locked up the smaller, quicker guy they wanted. Not having enough budget to get Holmes AND Edwards they went and got a player who many believe is the best big bodied WR available instead.

Plax got 250K less than what Holmes will get his first year and Plax got it all guaranteed

Its probly worth a shot, you have to consider he had Derek Anderson throwing to him in cleveland, a man who never should have played above high school. Did a little better with Sanchez in NY, but I still think on a team that likes to pass a bit more than the jets he could be ok

According to FOX 2 in Detroit, two people in Edwards’ entourage were arrested after allegedly assaulting employees at a Birmingham bar.

Edwards reportedly posted the following on Twitter at about the same time: “Damn. Get ya knuckles ready” and “Don’t fight if. You don’t know how.”

What a joke. I hope we don't get this bum. Just can't stay away from trouble.

That will kill any chance he had of coming to Washington and many other places, His value will drop so far ttiT will be able to afford him

Braylon only has 4 drops over the last 2 years. He would have been our best WR. But with John beck throwing the ball behind our porous o-line having Edwards would not have made much of a difference this year.

I'm hoping that by getting someone like this that we don't let some of these young guys go. I'm really excited about Niles and Hankerson.

1niksder · Post by **1niksder** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:37 am

Kelly is looking great at Camp.... Hankerson doesn't look bad either according to Jake and others

Chris Luva Luva · Post by **Chris Luva Luva** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:47 am

My vote is to keep these young guys. At least play the heck out of them in preseason. We gotta move the ball in the preseason and get down the field to truly test these guys out. I'd love to see Hankerson, Kelly, and Niles down in that goal line. Add/subtract one of them, put in Cooley or Davis.

Lovely.

Looking good in camp has never been Kelly's problem my friend
