The Cleveland Browns have traded disgruntled receiver Braylon Edwards to the N.Y. Jets for receiver Chansi Stuckey, linebacker Jason Trusnik and two undisclosed Draft picks. Terms of the deal were not known at the time of this post. Braylon is signed through 2009, so I don’t know whether he’ll be getting a new deal. And if there isn’t an extension to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, he will be eligible for restricted free agency in 2010.

It’s been a season of turmoil for the Braylon (and the entire Browns organization, for that matter)—who never realized his full potential in Cleveland. In four games, Braylon only has 10 catches for 139 yards and no touchdowns. (Of course, he’s probably dropped more balls than any other receiver in the National Football League since he was drafted five years ago.) And he’s under investigation by the league for allegedly assaulting local club owner Edward Givens just two days ago. So, Braylon doesn’t arrive in New York without baggage. But his upside for success apparently outweighed the obstacles according to the receiver-needy Jets, who hope a change of scenery will enable Braylon to catch more balls than he drops.
