It's a wonder he didn't kill the poor guy, you know, since he has hands of stone!

Mixed feelings. I think he's overrated, drops a ton of passes, has major personal issues and I liked Stuckey and Trusnik.

On the other hand, I'd probably take Keyshawn back if he could still be a deep threat for this team.

Basically I'm withholding judgment.

Chuck, 35-6. 35-6.

Those two may be the key to the trade. Edwards for a 3rd and a 5th is a pretty good deal. If losing those two hurts the Jets though then coupled with the picks it is a lot more questionable. You have to figure a 3rd and 5th are the sort of guys that would be big time special teams contributers in the next couple years so they may be sacrificing a lot in the special teams department for the potential to upgrade on offense.

Stuckey's a solid slot receiver, not much more and Trusnik is a terrific special teams player, not much more. My guess is Tannenbaum felt that with Izzo, Wallace Wright, Brad Smith, etc., we'll be OK on specials. I'm also guessing he didn't want to give up Stuckey, but Mangini didn't want a total loss at the position.

I honestly don't care if Edwards catches a million passes, if he hauls in a deep throw or two per game and keeps the drops to a minimum, I'll be happy. That way defenses can't double Cotchery and/or put 8-9 in the box to stop TJ, Leon and Shonn.

As you can see I'm already trying to talk myself into liking this.

There are a lot of all-pros that were drafted in rounds 3-5. Not to mention the teams get 4 years of control for peanuts. Lots of great teams were built through the draft, I dont remember any being built by trades and FA signings. The only way this is good for the Jets is if the dog starts to play to his potential, realizes that he isnt a star and dosent deserve star treatment and leads the Jets deep in the playoffs.

I dont remember. Joey will.
But.......
Sanchez is seemingly a franchise QB. Edwards is a disgruntled, overrated, diva WR. Clearly Cleveland wanted him gone and it looks like they got a decent return. They suck with him and they will suck without him. The next Browns coach will appreciate the picks.

No, just '09 first and second plus the three backups.

So was it worth the sacrifice of the special teams?

Absolutely. Their special teams is still one of the best in the league, they just lost their minds yesterday and let that failure get to the edge twice. They'd better back up the Brinks truck for Braylon in the offseason. He's a beast and is integral to the future success of the Sanchise.

temp was in the 50's too

However, what is his contract status?

He's a free agent after the season. If there is no new labor deal he would be restricted, with a new labor deal he would be unrestricted.

randallscott35 · #16 10-07-2009, 09:26 AM

Can't hurt.

Depends on what the draft picks are. At a 3rd and a 5th it will only hurt a little in the worst case. If they gave up a 2nd it would hurt a little more.

MaTH716 · #18 10-07-2009, 09:27 AM

Good Trade as long as he doesn't get suspended and they re-sign him.

somerfrost · #19 10-07-2009, 09:32 AM

If he can hold onto the ball...good deal. Had to get him out of Cleveland, hopefully a fresh start will be good for all.

NTamm1215 · #20 10-07-2009, 09:34 AM

I'm just hoping the dog turd does something. I had him on my fantasy team last year and he was absolutely atrocious. I took him again this year figuring it was a fluke and it looked like he and Brady Queer had good chemistry.

It gives Sanchez a legitimate downfield target and should open up even more with the running game. He desperately needed a fresh start, so I think it's a pretty damn good deal for the Jets.
