The saga continues. Things are tough for Braylon right now. Maybe he'll land in Detriot with Titus Young currently being a turd.

I don't think he could handle playing second fiddle to Calvin Johnson.
Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.
And he had a potential game-winning touchdown reversed last week.
I always hated Pete Carroll.
how they overtuned that. First they call a TD and isnt the rule it has to be some damn good evidence to turn over? There was none, that was a TD...BS call by the refs. I liked him on the Hawks, good red zone target. Its too bad. Go to the Lions
Go Blue!
He got cut because of his tweet he posted today about the jets organization.
Maybe Berkley can now express his thoughts on this to the world via twitter.
Braylon is an asshole
he's a mediocre reciever who had one good year and yet goes around acting like he's Jerry Rice. What a shame
When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing. -- Bo Schembechler
Which is ironic, because I don't remember him having any character issues whilst he was here.. but I guess maybe he had the spotlight so his ego coulda been satiated..who knows!
#Team 134
Facebook, twitter, and all the media coverage we have now didn't exist even back in 2004
"Ohio is like a giant turd that Michigan just can't pinch off"
nice job handling behavior issues with his team. Reading between the lines back in the day it seems Carr had a big job with Braylon.
We're gonna play with toughness, we're gonna be responsible and we're gonna play with toughness. This is Michigan.
It doesn't take much reading between the lines - the whole deal with earning the #1 jersey was a pretty obvious sign that Carr had a big job with Braylon. And now, thanks to that whole incident, we haven't had anyone else wear the #1 jersey due to the mistaken belief that earning it was a thing outside of just Braylon.
If i remember correctly, didnt Carr have Edwards running up and down the stadium stairs one year because of something Edwards did? I could be thinking of someone else
spent 4 four years mocking Edwards for being on the 'same page' with Carr. I know it wasn't that long but it felt like it.
So wait... Braylon got in touble for running his mouth? Never would have seen that coming

Didn't even make it as far as he did last year. Maybe the Lions will pick him up. Expect that'd pretty much be his last chance. Still, he was pretty good a couple years ago.
How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up 2 cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point? -Mark Harmon
To criticize someone for running their mouths. We do it everyday on this site. He's just famous and people actually care what he says.
A key difference might be that if we were in a position like his, we might not run our mouths like he does. You reach a point as a professional where you shouldn't do these things anymore.
Gotta imagine this is the end or VERY close to the end for Braylon in the NFL. Character issues with bringing little to the team. Oh well, I'll always have OT vs MSU
Maybe he can catch on as receivers coach at the Univ of Minnesota, to help his brother rip us a new one.
Braylon should definitely come to the Lions. Calvin can teach him how to block downfield and refresh his memory on catching the ball. He'll probably go to a team with the Seahawks still on their schedule.
30 now, receivers with his abilities are a dime dozen and cheaper in the draft.
He should hook with the lions for the year and consider calling it quits
I've never been a fan of off-field Braylon, but I'm at least a little surprised his overall career hasn't gone better.
"500 channels and nothing but cats."
I fully believe that he could be a Pro Bowl wide receiver if his head didn't get in the way. He's got his mind on too many other things, in my opinion.
What a waste of talent.....
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
People tend to think as long as you are an exceptionally gifted athlete you are set- it's unfortunate that people so talented continue to prove that wrong by acting in the wrong way and making stupid decisions. Hard to imagine with his talent and past recent success this is where he's at...
Best of luck to him and hope he lands somewhere he can be succesful..
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't wish the best of luck to him.
Any roster spot he takes up could very well be taken by a guy who needs it more and/or who has a better attitude.
I wish the best of luck to any hardworking, humble guy who's good enough to take the roster spot and the money that Edwards has forfeited by having such a poor attitude.
I get your point. I'm a bit of a homer...
But I agree, if he can't find a spot because he cant change a bad attitude I won't feel bad for him.
I guess I hope he stops being a fool more than is lucky...
I'm with you. "Michigan Man" or not, everyone should live by Jon's "don't be an a--hole rule" and its clear that Braylon does not. As such, in my opinion he deserves no special treatment, regardless of how much money he's donated to Michigan. An a--hole is an a--hole.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
I wondered if coming home to Detroit would calm him down, but Belle Isle last summer happened. He still drops the ball a lot and the Lions lead the NFL in drops...again. Can't think about the "upside" in a 30 year old. Even Jay Bilas wouldn't do that.
Wherever he ends up, his acrimonious departure from Seattle makes it less likely that he'll do his next team's pre-game intro spot as "Braylon Edwards, Pete Carroll's Seattle Seahawks"
Former Buckeye Antonio Pittman on being a poster child for compliance: "This osu tattoo stuff is silly. Cats been getting hookups on tatts since back in '01."
Too bad for Braylon, hopefully he'll find another team to stick to. Thought maybe the Pats with Edelman being on IR with a foot fracture, but the Pats resigned Stallworth.
He'll always have that second half against Sparty.
And nearly every receiving record at Michigan.
This has nothing to do with Michigan football.
Indeed. Although I still think Anthony Carter was a better receiver in an age where we didn't throw as much. He had far less drops and less of an ego than Braylon too.
Go Blue! Always!
Woodson (on offense) brought that Braylon and D. Alexander (and Toomer and Hayes and Walker and Calloway and Terrell) did not. AC is easily the bigger talent, better representative to the University, and more important hisorical M football figure.
We're gonna play with toughness, we're gonna be responsible and we're gonna play with toughness. This is Michigan.
those records will fall sooner or later.
Braylon also will always have his history of drops, such as the 3rd down drop he had that could have iced the Rose Bowl against V.Young.
Did he drop some balls? Sure. But he was about as big in big games as anyone I've watched at Michigan in the 25 or so years I've been paying attention. A notch below Desmond and Woodson, but just a notch.
Go look at his stats at mgoblue.com. In his three years he went over 100 yards receiving three times against OSU, twice against MSU, and in all three bowl games. He was a great college player.
A lot of people want to denigrate what he did at UM because he's been kind of a dumbass since leaving and flamed out as a pro, but the two things are separate. He was a great player, and also kind of a dumbass.
This has nothing to do with Michigan football.
Not unless he can play CB. Or offensive tackle.
