Jetsfan80 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 This deserved a thread of its own. Borrowing a twitter quote from lupz27: Jets and Braylon Edwards have broke off talks... He will play elsewhere next season Twitter for BlackBerry® • 7/27/11 1:20 PM This is from Braylons agent an hour ago on twitter If true, so long Braylon, thanks for everything! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwnf95DHiRQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Is that for real? Nobody ever said what the twitter account was or gave a link... That would be a serious buzz kill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Is "weed" slang for Holmes? Several teams should be interested in Braylon, I see the Colts, Pats and Saints all as possible destinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Several teams should be interested in Braylon, I see the Colts, Pats and Saints all as possible destinations. The main players reportedly in the mix for Braylon are Minnesota and Washington. The Skins want Sidney Rice more, however. if Washington lands Rice, the Vikings will swiftly go all in for Braylon. New England is a dark horse candidate. Don't see New Orleans going after him after pumping money into Lance Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19andOhWait Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 stay positive men, this could mean they are closer to Namdi... even saying that, will be sad to see Braylon elsewhere, really liked what he brought to the table. Maybe patrick turner could fill in in those jump ball/redzone spots? (obviously an enormous downgrade, but trying to be positive here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastineau Lives Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If the Pats get Edwards and we sign Randy Moss I will blow up a hospital. Unless we get Nnamdi. I like our chances with Revis/Aso covering DWEdwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If we weren't going to re-sign Braylon then why draft all those small receivers? I had been wondering about that. My theory in this offseason was that if they thought Patrick Turner was "that guy" they might let Braylon go. I just didn't think the organization liked Patrick Turner that much. Now, I'm not so sure. Because I think if the route you were going to go was WR plus Aso then I would say it should be Braylon plus Aso, leaving you a bunch to sign all the lesser free agents.

Stonehands Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Collateral damage for signing Asomugha. The Jets are going to turn to cheaper alternatives at wideout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Braylon was a luxury. I wanted him back too...but the priority was Holmes, which it should be and we locked him up long term. I wish Braylon the best of luck. Dude won me over while he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 welcome to 2007 sign the 5-9 Holmes to a 10 Mil per contract and dump the 6-3 target happy ******* days. Stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I got that impression too. He was the first guy to really make Rex look like a jackass. Also got the impression (based on Cro's comments) that Braylon was a little too primadonna for Rex's tastes. Pretty consistent with his rep.

I just didn't think the organization liked Patrick Turner that much. Now, I'm not so sure. Patrick Turner played real snaps in running formations, he can run block, he can climb the ladder for jump balls. Is he as good as Braylon, no but he's not terrible. Also they signed Courtney Smith UDFA another big body they can develop, also a good run blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 welcome to 2007 sign the 5-9 Holmes to a 10 Mil per contract and dump the 6-3 target happy ******* days. Stupid Holmes is 5'11". Lance Moore lists at a generous 5'9". But I'm unhappy about losing Holmes to the greatest and most expensive #2 CB of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Braylon was a luxury. I wanted him back too...but the priority was Holmes, which it should be and we locked him up long term. I wish Braylon the best of luck. Dude won me over while he was here. I'm not going to criticize anyone for second guessing the decisions, but personally, I'm just happy if we sign either Aso or Edwards. I mean, we're either going to have unquestionably the best CB tandem in history or two #1 type receivers back in an offense they already know. They'll just run the ball more than last year and play even better defense. Sign me up for it. We could do a heck of a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
