Do we still go after Braylon Edwards after drafting Stephen Hill?

    Holmes, Hill, Schilens, Kerley, Turner, and Keller give Sanchez (and Tebow for 2 throws a game) a good corps to work with. Throw in Braylon and it starts to get bloated.

    Yeah, I guess I missed it. Thought you were doing the smart ass thing and say "well, why stop at 4 wide, why not go with 18?"

    I was just being conservative. A swarm attack of 27 receivers would just be unfair.

    Do you think Hill would start over a healthy Braylon?

    I would definitely still bring in Edwards; if the price is right. Otherwise, we're one injury to Holmes away from having a receiving core where Kerley is our most
    experienced wide-out.

    Guys, the dude's not healthy. Otherwise he'd have been signed months ago. Pretty much every team has passed on him until he can prove he's healthy.

    Let's wait on the Braylon talk until he can run. Dude's had a lot of surgeries the past few years.

    There is no chance we bring him back..people forget that when you burn your bridges with the Jets you are relegated to purgatory forever. See Kendall, Jones, Washington..probably more I am forgetting.

    Hill had a total of 49 catches in college and Chaz Schillens is often injured,so id say bringing Braylon back is a top priority besides he will be our #1 WR that we lack.

    Bray is headed for the Arena League unless Rex buys into Abyzmul's swarm attack (and why wouldn't he)

    Unbelievable you guys trust a rookie with a total of 49 catches over BE.

    I highly doubt it. We'll likely sign Leonhard this week and maybe kick the tires on Collins to see if he's medically able to play. I think we've done all we're going to at WR for now unless we look at a special teams guy late in the draft.

    YES! He'll come cheap and Hill is still raw and won't contribute much his first season.

    Edwards won't come back for league minimum, but I say sign TO for minimum. At least we can use him to help teach, but just maybe he is still good enough to stay with the team.

    it is not a matter of trust.

    bringing in edward is a detriment to hills developement.


    how is hill going to get snaps at the 2wr if edwards is here and needs snaps too.especially since they are installing a new offense.

    who the hell would want 4 receiver sets with a QB who has a career 54% completion percentage and 26 turnovers last year alone? I want the ball in Nacho's hands as little as possible so let's keep building the right side of the line rather than bringing back some washed up old bum...

    So basically we experiment at WR with a win now team? You guys do understand he had a TOTAL of 49 catches in his entire college career.

    Go for it. Sanchez,Rex and Tanne will all be gone after this season.
