Jetfan13 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 According to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post, the arrest of Edwards for DWI at 5:15 a.m. on the West Side of Manhattan has so infuriated Rex Ryan, according to sources inside the Jets training facility, the team is strongly considering deactivating the trouble-prone receiver for the game. Sources told The Post the Jets, who are highly image-conscious and intent on making a strong and swift statement, were speaking to NFL officials today to explore disciplinary options the team could take, including potentially deactivating Edwards for Sunday’s game. If the Jets want to suspend Edwards without pay for a game, that could be complicated by resistance from the NFL Players Association, which would undoubtedly fight that action -- with Edwards’ blessing -- because Edwards has not been convicted of the crime. If the Jets deactivate him, that would seem to be their prerogative based on making a personnel decision and likely would leave the NFLPA no grounds for appeal.

SenorGato Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yea...they probably won't. If they're so image conscious then they won't lessen our chances of beating the Dolphins on a nationally televised Sunday night game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ILK Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Not surprised one bit, with all the bad light being shed on the Jets, they are going to do something. Sucks that this fool had to jump to the front of the line! I hope they just fine his a$$, Cro has 2 picks and he may want to be the highest paid CB next year.

JetsFanInDenver Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I can understand Rex Ryan and the entire organization being upset right now. But hope cooler heads prevail. The best way to go about this is to not start him for this game on the first play or at worst keep him out of the first series of offense. Anything beyond that is just plain and pure overreaction!

Maxman Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Do it for the Bills or Vikings game. I would much rather they suspend him. Let the union fight it and get him on the field for Miami. He can miss the Buffalo game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The best approach is to go deep to him for a TD on the first play. That may not happen on purpose. But i would see Mark trying to find him a lot more that usual in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyandthejets Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 They should haze him like they did Brian Jackson film it and put it on youtube. I think thats a good punishment. or better yet, take a stab at his pride and forcibly cut his beard off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s dubb Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 They'll hit him with a very hefty fine. Rex will chew his a$$ out and they will move on. I remember how greatful he was coming here and escaping Cle. Now he's going to tarnish his rep here? Rex loves his players and trusts them. For him to beget his trust must just royally piss Rex off beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visajets Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Talk is cheap. Rex and the NYJETS need him on the field Sunday. Miami humiliated us 2 times last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'd be surprised.. this seems like a purposeful leak for PR +1 Scream and yell all week about it, and then be consilatory on Sunday and let him play. BTW, Cannizzarro is off in the article. Disciplinary deactivations for substance abuse violations aren't permitted under the CBA either. NFLPA can challenge that as well.

Green DNA Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I hope the Jets don't overreact to the "loose ship" hyperbole and do something rash here. Fine him and let's move on, we need to win football games not make a move to please the outside world. Suspend him after the legal process has run it's course(and Santonio returns).

I agree with that. I also agree that this sounds like PR more than anything else. Primetime against the fish for first place this week... passing offense just got untracked against NE... and you're going to bench Braylon? Some quiet, in house discipline is more in order. Letting the league handle a league matter is the best way to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I don't care about the opponent this week rex needs to lay down the law, this frat house thing is going to cost this team dearly if it keeps up I say make a strong example of him and do whatever is allowed by the NFL we don't need anymore BS distractions I guarantee you woody rex and tanny are super pissed, and they should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfmartin Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 You can't suspend him because the NFLPA will come out and challenge it. Deactivating him is a stupid move also since you are still on the hook for the money and you just shoot yourself in the foot. Let the progress work out. You knew what you were getting into when trading for him. This is why we got him on the cheap. So don't be surprised when he does something stupid. I want him on the field this Sunday. The Jets organization is hated by the rest of the league/fanbases anyways. This is not going to hurt our image anymore than anything else has. I wanna beat Miami, win this division, win the Super Bowl and after that you do not resign him. He cost himself a contract with this, but lets not cost this season in which we went all in for.

Ghost Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I agree 100%. Suspending him is the right idea. I would also think about making it a two-game suspension. Rex and the Jets need to send a message to the team. We will win on Sunday with or without Edwards. Suspending him is the PERFECT idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well if they deactivate Edwards they should also deactivate D-brick and the Ghost for contributing to the delinquency of a moron Why? Ghost and Ferguson were responsibly enough NOT to drive. You can't put the blame on them. They were not the one who were DRIVING while being intoxicated. Not fair at all.
