Braylon Edwards headed to Jets

Braylon Edwards is reported to be on his way to the New York Jets by several media outlets.
The enigmatic receiver had an interesting final few days in Cleveland as he went without a catch in what looks to be his final game with the Browns and then managed to get into a fight that evening.
The reports vary on the return haul for the Browns,but the most consistent name that comes up is special teams standout Jason Trusnik,a third year player that would be returning to the area as a product of nearby Ohio Northern.
Another report has third year receiver Chansi Stuckey in the deal.
Stuckey starts for the Jets,but the Jets are not exactly tipping with receiving talents,so don't read too much into that.
There also reported to be draft picks (yes,plural) in the deal,but no word on what they would be...
Editors Note-FOX sports.com is reporting the picks to be a 3rd and a 5th,but with no other confirmation.

I am on board with this deal,even though the return doesn't look like much.
The Browns basically had two weeks to see what they could get for a talented,underachieving player that has been a boil on this team since his arrival.
Edwards play ranged from occasionally brilliant to more often uninspired that led to excuses and often strange reasons on why he was not loved by Browns fans.
Braylon,it is tough to get into a fans heart when they see you putting little of yours into the game that they love.
Edwards also becomes a free agent at the end of the season, there was no way that he was re-signing and I doubt that the Browns had tons of interest in trying to keep him.
Yet another Browns top pick leaves town with a less than distinguished Cleveland career.
Edwards may have been the most accomplished of the bunch,which tells you all you need to know about the Browns drafting over the last ten years.
So basically the choice was this-get something for him (even if the value was not equal) or suffer through 12 weeks of half speed effort,dropped passes and locker room cancers.
Something usually beats nothing.

The one thing that I question (even though I know the answer) is why the Jets again?
Now,perhaps the Jets were the only serious suitor for Edwards,but hasn't Mangini caught enough hell for the amount of former Jets that he has brought into town?
Especially,when you consider that only Abram Elam of the former Jets has played anything approaching well thus far this season?
I see the logic in getting guys you know and I definitely see the logic in getting something for a guy that you will get nothing for soon,but could he have gone somewhere else?
This only prolongs the idea of the Browns being the town dump for New York refugees.

Stay tuned for more later as the Browns will have to either release someone or put someone on injured reserve as the two for one trade leaves Cleveland needing to make one more move.
I will be doing the reviewing the tape stuff soon as we try to catch up over the weekend.
