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

Crap
And he had a potential game-winning touchdown reversed last week.
I always hated Pete Carroll.

I have no idea
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

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

That may be true now but he sure did a hell of alot for Michigan
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!

seriously?
no character issues at UM? i beg to differ.

Agreed...Carr always did a
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.

It doesn't take much reading
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,
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

Felt like ESPN's Reece Davis
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.

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.

I dont think its fair..
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 5:47 AM

A key difference might be
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.

I think that's called "growing up" and , for the record, it appears as though most of the teenagers on this site have done more of that than Braylon.

Being annoyed
And caring are completely different.

The end
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

Braylon should definitely
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 3:45 AM

Braylons' what
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

Similar to TJ Duckett
Who might I say still frolics around campus here in East Lansing as if he's relevant.

waste of talent
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 7:46 AM
#36
I fully believe that he could
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.

People tend to think as long
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,
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"
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.

I wondered if coming home to Detroit
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,
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.

He'll always have that second half against Sparty.
And nearly every receiving record at Michigan.

Indeed. Although I still
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.

There was an energy to the stadium that AC, Desmond, and
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.

those records will fall
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 1:43 PM
#51
Yea! One play sample size!
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.
