Malcom floyd's problem is you don't know if his stats are more of a result of getting perfect throws from rivers, or if he's just that good, pretty sure Morgan would be a 1000 yd receiver with rivers throwing to him ;).

Edwards should come fairly cheap because of the questionmarks. His ego can't be any worse than crabtrees lol. Off field concerns are always a problem but again it's just 1 year so no big deal.

If he's suspended though...I guess it depends how long. More than a few weeks=no.

Gosh, I'd really like to just get both. A 1-2-3 punch of Crabtree, Edwards, and Floyd plus VD and Delanie Walker

To be honest with Crabby and Morgan having pretty good hands I like Edwards stretching the field. I think he'll take more pressure off of VD and force more Cover 2 which is also good for VD.

Like I said, Floyd for better behavior.

Braylon for more talent.

Edwards on a 1 year deal so he is motivated to get a fat payday next season

Braylon Edwards was directly involved in a stabbing while on probation he may not even be able to play this year.

Edwards has brought baggage everywhere he has been, and has continued to drop passes at very inopportune moments. He has never come close to fulfilling his press clippings out of college.
