Seconds Out Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Ok, Aundrae Ellison off of waivers.... great. Can we make a move to get either Brandon Marshall or Braylon Edwards?? For the life of me, I cannot understand why Tannenbaum doesn't at least make an attempt to get one of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Tannenbaum doesn't at least make an attempt to get one of these guys. It is my sneaking suspicion that Braylon Edwards came back to camp yesterday SOLELY to show other teams that he's not injured and out of shape while Kokinos and Mangini sit back and take offers under the table. There is no WAY. based on what I'm reading, that Mangini lets Edwards contaminate his program much longer. That said, I wouldn't mind if Edwards came here and "contaminated" our receiving corps to the tune of 1200 yards and 10 TD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsis Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'd take one of them for brad smith and a 4th. Or a 4th and a 7th at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisaynon Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 They're not trading Edwards. Mangini and Edwards were all buddy buddy according to camp reports yesterday. And why would he? Braylon is a force. It looks like Mangini's giving him the Favre treatment, the same loving he gave Shaun Rogers who now is apparently happy with his situation.

We all know Mangini won't tolerate this, so he might be moved after all. However, I don't want him.....but for Brad and a 3rd, I'll do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 .but for Brad and a 3rd, I'll do it All that for a 26 year old who can be a legit #1? And the Browns haven't taken it yet? I'd love to bring in Edwards, but it's probably not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think people who advocate trading this or that for him forget this kid probably wants a minimum $10M per year contract. The cost of acquiring Braylon Edwards (or Brandon Marshall) does not end when the trade goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be getting a guy that can play 2-3 positions (WR, QB, AND run the Wildcat) AND be a productive gunner on ST's and we all know that he comes from the Parcells school of getting players that can multi-task. Mangini is also a big enough dickhead to throw his best receiver in the proverbial doghouse-you know biting off one's own nose to spite the face.

Sperm Edwards Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 is he under contract Spermy? If so we make him honor the current deal and tell him that if he produces THEN we talk. He's in the last year of his rookie deal. No one trades upwards of a 2nd rounder for a 26 year-old WR and then lets the contract run out after 1 season. And it's all speculation that he could be had for a 2nd anyway. That was rumored to be Cleveland's asking price before the draft. Well since the draft has come and gone, they can't use that 2nd rounder this year anymore. The asking price could very well be higher than it was in March.

We can try to make him honor that deal, but the fact that he doesn't want to honor that deal is the only reason people are talking trade for him. He wants to get paid and he doesn't want peanuts. If we are going to trade for and pay a prima donna, I'd lean towards Roddy White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets1Fan Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Ok, Aundrae Ellison off of waivers.... great. Can we make a move to get either Brandon Marshall or Braylon Edwards?? For the life of me, I cannot understand why Tannenbaum doesn't at least make an attempt to get one of these guys. I really do agree with you, but there's honestly no telling if Tannenbaum hasn't made offer after offer for either or both of these guys. I am in agreement, basically we'd all feel a little more comfortable and the team would be much more balanced with an established #1 WR or one with immense talent like Marshall or Edwards. But, I just don't see anyone coming in here anymore especially 1 week away from the first scrimmage, unless its Plaxico (because the amount to be paid to him would be in our price range). I think that door has been shut. I think Clowney will be the #2, only because Stuckey is really really good in the slot, otherwise Stuck will be our #2 and Clowney in the slot. Are there any rumblings about Marcus Henry at all?? (last season's draft pick from the 5th round)??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
