Braylon and the Jets

Braylon Edwards has been traded to the Jets. Despite his recent troubles, I'm pretty sure this is a very good thing for the team, especially Mark Sanchez. A receiving corps of Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery, while not the greatest tandem in the National Football League, is formidable. 

My only immediate concern is, how does this affect the Knicks' pursuit of LeBron James?


BEN:

I wish I could disagree, but you're absolutely right: a talented WR with a serious attitude problem is a perfect fit for this team.

Let the record show that Eric Mangini has now given the Jets a long-term QB and a #1 receiver as the head honcho of the Browns, two things he never accomplished when he was working in Jersey.

There we have it. Another thing the editorial staff of You're Wrong About Everything can agree on: Eric Mangini is a disaster.

MILES:

The Mangini investment is finally starting to pay dividends. Edwards is a prick, but if he acts up, the Jets have guys like Bart Scott, Calvin Pace, Kris Jenkins and, yes, Rex Ryan, to smack him around. Edwards is also playing for a contract, so he's more likely to show up each week. His presence alone should open up the running game, which is only going to give Sanchez more room--and time-- with which to work. This is a very good move. Unexpected, too. I'm excited.
