Please refresh my memory. Was that the playoff game up in Foxboro where the 14-2 Pats were embarrassed when everybody and their mothers thought they were going to win another Super Bowl. I think I remember.

He had one drop all last year the best by far of any Jet WR. He broke up a number of balls from being intercepted. Created a couple of huge PI calls that helped win games. He is the Jets only deep threat. Not to mention he was one of the best blocking WR’s in the game. The Jets running game did not start doing well in 2009 until Edwards came over. No coincidence.

He is the most important player on the jets offense. He forces defenses to guard against the deep threat. Catches and fights for balls in traffic. Plays big in the endzone and he is the key to their run game with his excellent run blocking.

Edwards gets a bad rap. He has been one of the jets most consistent and unselfish players. His stats may not be great but Sanchez is a very bad QB and because of that Jets do not throw much. But Edward’s intangibles and contribution is very high. If only Holmes had Edward’s unselfish team approach.

Ask for something less important like a star or something.

PS- What do those gloves help you do? Are they to prevent dirt from getting under your nails? They sure don’t help you catch the ball. I bet Rex Ryan would never invite you over for Thanksgiving dinner as you would probably drop the Turkey somehow and ruin Rex’s life.

Sincerely,

Bitter CLeveland Fan

Do you have to make a dumb hating comment on every single jets story. Wait you forgot to call them the Newark jets again for the millionth time. Why are you so worried about the jets and what they are doing all the time? Worry about your pats and spare everyone your meaningless comments. How average was Braylon in the playoff game when he actually dragged your two db’s for 10 yds on his back into the endzone for that TD? Do you remember that? That was anything but average.

Oh thats right, this clown. Being an outspoken jackass must be a requirement of the Jets organization.

Holmes is a significantly better player, and undoubtedly a higher priority to be re-signed.

I can just see him limping down the sidelines after shooting himself in the leg. New top 40 speed = 6.5. He shot his career in the foot, err leg.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have a receiver like Braylon on Carolina, but you have to also understand that this guy doesn’t put up excellent numbers…he’s a great #2 guy. I’m sure he’ll be back in NY. the jets won’t likely need Brad Smith, because of the new kickoff rules…I just don’t see them paying a guy that much just to run gadget plays..

Topping 1000 yards only once in your career definitely means you have zero ability to ask for the moon. In fact, if Santonio is asking for too much money and it’s an ego thing, you can easily take a pay cut to keep the team together, right? Right, Braylon, take a pay cut for the team?
