Looks like we got ourselves a receiver despite being a headcase:
10/07 — The Jets announced this morning that they have reached an agreement in principle to acquire Browns WR Braylon Edwards in exchange for WR Chansi Stuckey, LB Jason Trusnik and undisclosed draft choices. More to Come…
Edwards, in his fifth pro season, is a downfield threat who's averaged 15.5 yards a reception in his career. The 6'3", 215-pounder had 55 receptions last season for 873 yards and three touchdowns. And he had a phenomenal '07 season, catching 80 balls for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Before the deal, Stuckey was considered the Jets' No. 2 receiver and had 11 catches for 120 yards with a touchdown in the Jets' 3-1 start. A seventh round pick out of Clemson in 2007, Stuckey missed that '07 campaign with a foot injury. Stuck, playing primarily the slot role before moving outside this fall, had 32 receptions in '08 for 359 yards. He also caught a TD in each of his first three games, becoming the first active player to achieve that milestone since 2002.
Trusnik is a former undrafted free agent who carved a role for himself in the NFL. After the Jets' Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans, the 6'4", 250-pound reserve 'backer was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. In that contest, Trusnik forced a fumble on Ryan Mouton and recovered it, and had a first quarter tackle on kickoff coverage.
