"On Monday, New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards was officially charged with a misdemeanor assault stemming from his altercation at a Cleveland-area nightclub weeks ago. Prior to his trade, the Jets did a thorough risk management assessment and background check, and GM Mike Tannenbaum asserted that the risk in trading for Edwards was "manageable." But now, with the official charges laid on the table, is there a suspension coming from the NFL? According to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post, it's unlikely. An NFL spokesperson spoke with Cannizzaro, and noted Edwards' lack of any prior conduct issues. In that case, the spokesperson noted, "we wait for a court resolution. Then we would review the facts for any possible discipline (ESPN)."
Even if he does it won't be for very long (I don't think he'll serve a game). I hate Edwards, he just has too many things against him in my book (Michigan, fucking my fantasy team, thinking/acting like he is great, ect), but I am going to put that aside for a second. He is one of the hardest players to figure out. On one hand he is fast, can jump, and be a game-breaker. On the other hand he (like Roy Williams) can disappear, and he also drops way too many catchable balls...
