Jets receiver Braylon Edwards is launching his first full season as a member of the New York Jets. And he has circled on the calendar games against teams that reside in much smaller cities.
The Lions and the Browns.
Per Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press, Edwards looks forward to his November 7 return to Michigan. “I’m excited to play back home,” Edwards recently said. “It’ll be fun because I have so much family here that supports me. So I can’t wait for them to get a chance to come to the game.”
The next week, he returns to his adopted home.
“Seven days later is the game I’m worried about,” Edwards said. “We go to Cleveland. You know I’ve got a little chip on my shoulder the size of the golden nugget. So I can’t wait to go out there.”
Edwards may want to think twice about that one. We hear that the 130-pound guy he beat up last year on his way out of Ohio has been working out. Word is that he’s already up to 140.
Five more and he can definitely take Braylon.
