When the New York Jets acquired wide receiver Braylon Edwards in a trade with the Cleveland Browns, it looked like a move that showed the Jets were serious about winning right now.
After all, the Jets were 3-1 and in first place in the AFC East at the time: Adding a marquee player during the season was the kind of thing that a team would do in an effort to make a playoff push.
It hasn't worked out that way: The Jets are4-6 and fading out of playoff contention. But Edwards still says he's glad to be a Jet, because the Browns are, in Edwards' estimation, "the pits."
"I have seen the pits," Edwards said. "This is nothing like the pits, and you know what I refer to. I have seen the baddest of the bad."
Edwards' contract is up after the season, and he says he hopes to sign a long-term deal after the year to remain with the Jets.
"If these guys want to extend me to play here, I'd love to be there," Edwards said.
Still, if the Jets don't start playing better soon, Edwards might start thinking of New York as the pits. After all, the Jets are just 1-5 since acquiring Edwards.

It is always better to suck in a bigger market.
And the daily bashing of the worst team in football begins.
THANKS GUYS!
Edwards had a big hand in putting the Browns in that position. I never saw such a potentially talented guy drop so many key, drive killing and touchdown scoring passes! In my opinion the worst or second worst first round pick the Browns have used since returning. I don't think he's a bad guy but certainly not a team player. Only when things are going well. Hey, just how many games have the Jets won with him? Edwards is a loser. That's what he does!
Braylon Edwards is an asshole.
The Browns might not have been the "pits" if a certain former Mich receiver could actually catch the football instead of dropping everything that came his way.
Now the Jets are cursed with this "receiver" or should I say dropper.
His hands are up there with the baddest of the bad.
Maybe if he put effort in to not getting in trouble and also catch some passes instead of charges, it would not have been the pits!
He will never change . its a shame as He has all the physical tools you want in a wide receiver . His problems lie between the Ears and Rib Cage . He has no Heart ...Glad the Second Coming of TO is Gone Gone Gone . have fun with the Cancer that is Braylon Edwards Jets Fans . Get used to the Drops and Alligator Arms on Routes over the Middle .If he will even run them that is . He hates Contact . What A Pussy!!!!!
Braylon, tell the world something that it doesn't already know!
He'll be returning kicks in Oakland next year, because he certainly can't catch. I hear he's been asked to drop the ball on New Years, a job that he is fully qualified for.
Maybe Mangini did get the last laugh with Tannenbaum.
this is truly funny Braylon. did you ever hear the quote" out of the frying pan and into the fire"
look it up.
From the pits to the dump. Might want to rethink that one B
Braylon...you had one good year & were a MAJOR contributor in making them the "PITS" with your "STONE HANDS"...
You should just shut up & show some class instead of trashing the franchise that gave you your shot....
Enjoy your continued nightmare with the Jets, afterall, misery loves company...PUTZ!!!
Pretty sure the "pits" he was referring to seeing... were all his drops while with the Browns.
And from the looks of things... he's seeing the pits again.
Hey MDS, you neglected to mention the other (larger part) of the article had to do with Edwards still dropping passes. Apparently, his butter fingers are comparable to your butter brains. Try telling the whole story instead of just piling on the Browns. This season would be even more frustrating having to deal with this Jerk still being in town and listening to him spout off.
At least it looks like you've actually started to proof-read your entries before you submit. Maybe Florio gave you a swift kick in the arse with his best Josh McDaniels impression to the Bronco's o-line.

Braylon's catching ability is the pitts. Glad your gone.
Still playing on a crappy team, still dropping balls, still making excuses.
The WAHmbulance is on it's way, Braylon.
Edwards was part of the problem in C-Town not part of the solution. I think his play speaks for itself. I'm sure he would love for NY to be stupid enough to extend him to a long term deal. I mean who wouldn't want to pay someone $10M/year to drop passes?
Yeah Right Braylon. One of the main reasons the Browns were the pits is because they were depending on you to make catches for them. Instead all you did was drop passes and whine and complain.
I see you have brought all those same qualities to the table in NY.
Yes, the Browns still stink, but we certainly don't miss you either.
Good Riddance.
This guy just isn't as good as his hype. Period.
One catch for 10 yards against New England. That's not what they pay him to do.
Rex's excuses about him drawing double cover so other guys can be open is BS.
Rex is turning out to be a all mouth, and a poor decision maker.
Unbelievable that a guy who drops and short arms as many passes as he does is yapping. The baddest of the bad ? Receivers like him who can't or are afraid to catch the ball.
Everyone knows the Browns are bad, but I was much more interested in the fact that he discounted the dropped pass that lost the Jacksonville game by inexplicably claiming his ribs were almost broken by Reggie Nelson.
"I have seen the baddest of the bad."
----------------------
I have watched Braylon play so I can say that "I too have seen the baddest of the bad."
Duh we already knew this Braylon
I can live with big mouth WRs that produce. I always like TO and I get a kick out of Ocho Cinco. It is like WWE someone has to be the bad guy but you cannot deny that they have produced. BE, all the drama without the production. Guess we can just call him BE Zero.
thanks for talking junk after under performing all those years, you loser.
speaking about pits...how about puting braylon in one and throwing dirt on top of him?
Who's next, can we expect Matt Millen to say the Lions sucked ?
As a Patriots fan, I hope the Jets sign Edwards to a long term deal.
Wow Braylon maybe you could say the reason you sucked in Cleveland is that you are a no talent asshole. You blamed everyone from the coaching to the fans that were mean 'cause you were from Michigan. You are a loser and should once again shut the F-up and see who you can now blame since your drops continue in NY.
Maybe the media is to blame, or the rookie quarterback, or the new head coach or the noise at the night clubs you frequent are too loud. You'll think of someone or something to blame, look in the mirror asshole., you are an arrogant prick that deserves what you are getting right now. Hey jackoff..ever heard of the saying: you reap what you sow.
Payback is a real bitch...bitch.
Braylon Edwards is a first class douche bag. This is the same moron who said no matter what he does Browns fans hated him because he played for Michigan....it wasn't all the dropped passes and lack of production from a 1st round pick....it was because he went to Michigan....The guy is a diva, it's only a matter of time before he is seen screaming at Sanchez on the sideline like he did in Cleveland, oh and on top of all of that he was asking for $8 million or more per season to stay with the Browns...so lets see if the Jets wanna give him the huge payday only he believes he deserves.....he doesn't.
Braylon's classic, it's never his fault(in his eyes).
He always said the fans here hated him because he went to Michigan.... not because he couldn't catch AIDS walking naked through San Francisco, but because he went to Michigan(eye rolls).
it's cool though, let him stay in New York, he's lucky he's not on the New York team that the media cares about, or else he'd be ripped to shreds by them.
He's never been football first, it's all about his image.... I still remember when they posted a story about how he bought Rihanna a 10,000 bottle at a club in New York, she had no clue who he was. He introduced himself, and she still turned him down and the bottle. Braylon, you're a nobody.
Odd that losing seems to follow Braylon. UM owned OSU until Braylon stepped foot on the field. Remember his drop in 2004 when UM was driving at the end of the game?
The Browns actually took a step back from .500 Butch Davis once Romeo Crennel and Phil Savage drafted Braylon.
The Jets, well it's been explained above.
So, Braylon, what does it say that the teams you play for seem to lose a lot?
I have a feeling this guy is going to have a bruised ego after this season. He thinks hes one of the best wideouts in the NFL, and hes gonna think he should get paid like it. I very much doubt that is gonna happen. No one with half a brain is gonna pay this guy the money he wants. The best offer is gonna come from the Jets b/c they had to give away draft picks for this guy and they cant risk letting him go after 1 year. The contract probly wont be anywhere near what Edwards wants. So he will probly decline it go on the market and realize hes not gonna get near the kind of money paid to elite wrs and that the Jets are offering him alot more then any other team. So he will probly have to eat some humble pie and come back to the Jets with his hat in hand and hope the offer is still on the table.
Good to see that people unite under a common banner when a moron like this opens his mouth. Braylon couldn't catch water in the middle of the ocean with a bucket, except for ONE year. He really needs to just shut his damn mouth and figure out how to use his hands for something other than making them look like they have football repellent on them.
braylon sucks boys!!!
You guys are all ridiculous. Everyone on this board that is not a Jets fan is bashing Edwards saying that he sucks and so do his hands. I would love to see what all of you d-bags had to say when Randy Moss had two sub-par years with the Raiders and then went to the Pats and continues to tear it up. (His second year with Oakland was downright embarrassing) Good players don't play well on bad teams, plain and simple. Those of you that can't see that are stupid and naive. Give it time, Braylon will make a big impact.
Braylon has "pits" for hands. Don't worry Braylon, you'll always have a future in the NFL. In three years you'll be a great commentator for Sunday NFL Countdown.
Maybe Braylon just needs Charlie Frye as a roommate again.
