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

Not unless he can play CB. Or offensive tackle.
December 5th, 2012 at 12:00 AM ^
I don't think he could handle playing second fiddle to Calvin Johnson.
December 5th, 2012 at 12:07 AM ^
December 5th, 2012 at 12:05 AM ^
And he had a potential game-winning touchdown reversed last week.
I always hated Pete Carroll.
December 5th, 2012 at 11:39 AM ^
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

lets see who will win
December 5th, 2012 at 12:47 AM ^
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
December 5th, 2012 at 1:10 AM ^
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!
December 5th, 2012 at 1:34 AM ^
Facebook, twitter, and all the media coverage we have now didn't exist even back in 2004
December 5th, 2012 at 3:11 AM ^
no character issues at UM? i beg to differ.
December 5th, 2012 at 10:06 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 11:50 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 3:36 AM ^
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
December 5th, 2012 at 1:06 PM ^
Adrian Arrington
December 5th, 2012 at 3:40 PM ^
I think it happened to both.
December 5th, 2012 at 3:42 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 8:52 AM ^
It was only three years.
December 5th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
"one good year"
with the Browns.
that should count for something.
December 5th, 2012 at 12:51 AM ^
So wait... Braylon got in touble for running his mouth? Never would have seen that coming
December 5th, 2012 at 1:17 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 1:14 AM ^
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 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.
December 5th, 2012 at 9:53 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 6:58 AM ^
December 5th, 2012 at 1:14 AM ^
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
December 5th, 2012 at 1:30 AM ^
December 5th, 2012 at 1:41 AM ^
He should be on the Raiders by now.
December 5th, 2012 at 2:33 AM ^
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 ^
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
December 5th, 2012 at 12:00 PM ^
December 5th, 2012 at 7:23 AM ^
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 ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 7:41 AM ^
December 5th, 2012 at 9:42 AM ^
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..
December 5th, 2012 at 10:01 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 10:04 AM ^
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...
December 5th, 2012 at 10:35 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 8:23 AM ^
December 5th, 2012 at 8:33 AM ^
Why don't we just go for the dysfunctional trio and get TO and Chad Johnson while we're at it Thanks but no thanks. This season is lost already. No point in fucking with Stafford's chemistry.
December 5th, 2012 at 8:57 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 9:26 AM ^
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"
December 5th, 2012 at 9:29 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 9:39 AM ^
And nearly every receiving record at Michigan.
December 5th, 2012 at 10:28 AM ^
December 5th, 2012 at 11:22 AM ^
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.
December 5th, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
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.
