Division Notes
The Braylon Edwards trade rumor machine marches on. From Eric at BBI:
The following was provided to me by a legitimate source (not one of the previous Edwards asshats on this site):
“The talks are still on. The Browns are being cheap right now and have no interest in re-signing Edwards to a big deal. They are willing to take low compensation. They are asking for a conditional next year (high as a 3) and Danny Ware and Mario Manningham (who Mangini wanted badly for the Jets). They were asking for these same two players before the draft, but the feeling is they can get NY to bite now that they got Nicks and Brown in the draft.”
“(I do not) know the status of the Giants response to this offer.”
We don’t have any information regarding the validity of their source, but if this is what the Browns are asking for, we don’t see the Giants biting. The Giants people really like Danny Ware, and the market for Edwards has cooled after the draft — meaning the Giants (theoretically) shouldn’t have to give up as much.
And in more Giants/NFC East news — one of their big mouthed stars is running his again.
