Braylon Edwards charged with assault | ProFootballTalk.com

Quote:

The charges stem from an accusation that Edwards punched a friend of Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James. The incident took place shortly before Edwards was traded to the Jets from the Cleveland Browns.

The Plain Dealer reports that Edwards faces a sentence of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if he's convicted.

Now why I'm posting this is I'm wondering if anyone else is noticing the trend of crappy stuff that is happening to the Jets?

I dunno if you can qualify this as bad luck, since they traded for him after this well-publicized incident. Just like htey traded for a 350 pound DT with a history of knee problems. They get bargains in these trades because the guys that they trade for have enormous red flags, so you can't really call it bad luck when the red flags are actually legitimate problems.

Like the poster said above, it's not bad luck, it's bad management. They knew the red flag that was there when they picked him up. They took the risk and now will have to wait it out and see what happens.

They did the same with Favre.

Everyone knows Favre shoots from the hip.

What the Jesters have to worry about is not the 6 months in jail...that won't happen on a misdemeanor. They will have to worry about a short suspension from the NFL.

Its not like they gave up the house to get him. Way too early to cast this as a win/lose for the Jesters.....we can only hope....

Edwards beat up on a much smaller man. If he had remained with

the Browns, he may have gotten a suspension. Now that he is with

Roger Goodell's favorite team, he will rule "boys will be boys".
