NY Jets Trade For Braylon Edwards

Adam Schefter broke the news of a trade between the NY Jets and Cleveland Browns on twitter this morning:

• Filed to ESPN – HOT Browns just traded WR Braylon Edwards to the Jets. Waiting on trade terms.
• Deal for Braylon Edwards includes Jason Trusnik, the Jets core special teams player and picks – and maybe a WR. Trying to piece together.
• @Adam_Schefter: Trade terms: Braylon Edwards for Chansi Stuckey, Jason Trusnik and two picks thought to be a 3rd and 5th-round

Eric Mangini seems to have done more to improve the Jets roster after he was fired.  The Jets have turned these players and some additional draft picks:  Kenyon Coleman – Abram Elam – Brett Ratliff – Chansi Stuckey – Jason Trusnik into Mark Sanchez and Braylon Edwards.

Does Braylon bring some baggage and risk with him?  Yes, his off the field fight a few days ago sealed his fate in Cleveland.  He is young, 26 and has had one monster season (2007: 80 receptions, 1289 yards 16 TDs).  In 2006 and 2008 he was around the 60 catches \ 850 yard mark.  He has potential.  He has to focus, work hard and stay out of trouble.

Tell us what you think about this move.
