Braylon Edwards Waived by Seahawks

Not unless he can play CB.  Or offensive tackle. 

I don't think he could handle playing second fiddle to Calvin Johnson.

And he had a potential game-winning touchdown reversed last week.

I always hated Pete Carroll.

He got cut because of his tweet he posted today about the jets organization.

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

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.

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. 

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.

He should be on the Raiders by now.

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.

What a waste of talent.....

please?

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"

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.

Braylon seems to have been born with two mouths and one ear instead of the other way around.  The same mentality that makes him think his alumni contribution to Michigan should allow him to decide who wears the number "1" has come back to bite him on the butt again.  

This is what happens when you mix a person with a Napolean complex and a diva WR.

I am one year older and I went to middle school with Braylon at U of D Jesuit Academy and then Michigan with him in the early 2000s. Braylon is and will always be who he is. I remember when he arrived at the Jesuit Academy as a skinny 7th grader who still had the high pitched voice. He thought he was "all that" because of his dad and the fact that he was running in national track meets in Hershey, PA but cried when he got cut from the basketball team. He was picked on constantly and always felt the need to prove himself.(Ohio nightclub incident)

 No one thought that he would ever do the things that he did at U of M as he didn't mature physically until much later in high school.  If I remember correctly he started off going to high school at Detroit Martin Luther King and did not play football there before he went to Bishop Gallagher.

In 2001, his freshman season in AA, Lloyd Carr called Braylon a candy ass during a team meeting to which Braylon replied, "Shut up Droopy!". This is the infamous incident that led to the two of them to not be on the same page. So yes it was he who you saw running the stadium steps. I also remember Braylon and Chris Perry sucker punching an associate of mine at a house party in 2001 because my friend was a non-athlete getting more girls than them.

Like someone on this board said it before, "Braylon's gonna Bray"

It seems strange to me that nobody has been given that number since the scholarship was created. Is that correct? How many years has it been?

As I understand it, the scholarship states that the player with the #1 jersey gets it, and if there is no #1 then it basically just funds one player's scholarship. I know Brandon Graham got it one year. Edwards' foundation site says Steve Breaston got it, but I don't think he ever wore #1.

I don't have a problem with it -- I'm just wondering of anyone knows of any recent news about it. I guess it was held out to not steal the thunder of #21 and the others unretired this year. Certainly Hemingway or Roundtree could have worn it. 

It's a given that #2 will eventually get a jersey patch. With regard to #1, to my mind, only AC was great enough to have his number retired. Carter started the tradition -- without him, #1 would never have been given to Edwards. A dual patch with Carter and Edwards would be a travesty, IMHO. I wonder if Edwards is big enough of a man to admit that, and let Carter have a patch.

I'm shocked the Lions haven't picked him up yet seeing they need receivers.  He will fit right in.  Kind of a head case and can't catch the big ones.
