Rumor: Braylon Edwards to the Giants for a 2nd + 4/5th…
Take this with a grain of salt but I’m hearing a deal is in place to send Braylon over for a 2nd, 4th or 5th and possibly a conditional pick next year. This would be an absolute STEAL. Gaining a player of Edwards caliber and still having our 1st, 2nd, and two 3rds. Right now it’s pending on the Giants and Braylon’s agent working out a contract. Stay tuned, I will update the post when I hear something new.
Update:
Sorry for the delay guys busy morning…
I was told we are pretty much at the same point as we were yesterday. Something will get done just a few more numbers need to be worked out. Edwards should be in New Jersey sometime towards the begining of next week to recieve a physical.
Update 2:
Looks like you guys will have to what for the anouncement on Draft day as of now…

This is BS. Did you hear it from the voices in your own head, you nut?
April 16th, 2009 at 9:34 pmJoey Boots, STFU.
I doubt the validity of this, but it would be a phenomenal trade for the Giants if true.
April 16th, 2009 at 9:47 pmJoey Boots,
Im just passing along what I was told, if you dont like it than dont read my blog
April 16th, 2009 at 9:51 pmHave you heard anything else on this topic,do you have any updated info.
April 16th, 2009 at 10:16 pmIm going to check with my source in the morning
April 16th, 2009 at 10:17 pmwhere did your “source” hear this and why is not on more credible sites? I don’t believe this for a second……….
April 16th, 2009 at 10:26 pmI don’t even care what it takes anymore.
Get. It. Done.
April 16th, 2009 at 10:29 pmOnce again, dont read the site than
April 16th, 2009 at 10:34 pmI leave here in Cleveland and the running joke here is that if you can’t catch, you catch like Edwards….This guy drops way too many easy passes
April 16th, 2009 at 11:51 pm[...] loves him some Braylon Edwards. Fansided’s own gmenhq.com is chasing down a rumor that a deal is in place pending a new contract for [...]
April 17th, 2009 at 10:19 amWell it’s 1:24 pm ET an no word from your “sources” yet . . . hmmmmmm.
April 17th, 2009 at 12:25 pmStill no word from your sources that you were going to check with in the morning?????
April 17th, 2009 at 2:37 pmFunny how you are the only person in the entire sports media world who knows this. The Eagles have a similar deal to trade for Peters and it’s all over ESPN.
April 17th, 2009 at 3:52 pmalot of experts expect this to get done…and i believe it will wether or not youre telling the truth is yet to be determined if it is thank you for all your insight if not to hell with you for getting me all excited but im not gunna be a douche like william money
April 17th, 2009 at 4:08 pmI don’t care about the validity of the “source”, The idea of the G-men getting Braylon cool and if they can pull it off for that cheap would b awesome.
April 17th, 2009 at 5:56 pmwhere are you hearing this from? jw, dont care just for it to be valid.
April 17th, 2009 at 6:50 pmYou have no inside source and you are a liar. Anyone can say that they heard something. This site is now being blackballed by legit sports sites because of its blatant lack of credibility.
April 17th, 2009 at 7:26 pmAre you serious about this man this would be the finishing touch to our off-season.When you say numbers need to be worked out what do you mean,salary or draft picks.Normally when a person takes a physical for another team it means he’s about to be signed or dealt to that team.Man can you please update as soon as possible.
April 17th, 2009 at 7:53 pmReally, do you have a source or not
April 17th, 2009 at 8:25 pmCan we as Giants Fans expect a deal for Edwards by the weekend or will we have to painfully wait until the last minute to get excited about a deal for a big time WR.Have another question for ya I’ve been seeing on different sites that Hixon will be dealt is there any truth to that/
April 17th, 2009 at 9:03 pmHIXON WILL NOT BE DEALT that i can assure you. And the deal wont be official until next week
April 17th, 2009 at 9:27 pmMan that’s kind of harsh,He’s just trying to fill the fans in on what is going down.I just read on big blue 101 a link for the Giants on http://www.mvn.com that this deal will go down on draft day and won’t be offically be announced until the Giants are on the clock to prevent teams from leapfrogging the Browns to grab a player that they really want,personally I wish it would go down right now to get it out of the way,and so some of the Giant fans can exhale and really enjoy the upcoming draft.
April 17th, 2009 at 10:47 pmHere’s the link where I read this about the deal for Edwards http://bigblue101.com/ scroll down and read news and notes.I admit I don’t exactly know what’s going on just like the majority of the Giant fans but I hope all this leads to a trade for Braylon a better and improved offense.This guy said the deal won’t go down until next week from this site and from what I read from the above highkighted link a deal will be done next week.I hope we can some how hold on to our first pick though but if not all is well go get braylon and make this offense better.
April 17th, 2009 at 10:54 pmI am a Browns fan, ,we are hearing 1st and a 3rd + Hixon for Edwards. That is what our writers are saying. So stay tuned!
April 18th, 2009 at 2:01 amEdwards thinks we don’t like him because he is from Michigan, What a joke. He got booed from dropping easy clutch passes! We had alot of x Michigan players. It didn’t matter to us. We just want winners. We could careless what college they played for… You all might be sorry in getting him. He is a me me type of player. But I do have to give him big credit though for community service. He donated money to city’s football programs a million + dollars worth. If only he was that good on the field.
April 18th, 2009 at 2:09 ami think thats a pretty good deal for both teams bob. thanks for posting something constructive unlike some people here
April 18th, 2009 at 2:13 amThanks Rob, We Need draft picks we are rebuilding again. and you need a reciever. Bralyn can make you all happy and frustrated in the same game. He’ll make a great unbeliveable catch and than drop a easy clutch pass. But that was his MO through College as well. He would be the best WR in the NFL if he didn’t have the droppsies. I am hoping for a 1 and 3 for him. Your 1st pick is a low first rounder! If it was a top half of the round, than a 2nd rd would be fairer.
April 18th, 2009 at 2:20 amJust tell us were you got your sources from, how are we suppossed to believe you
April 18th, 2009 at 5:29 amrob – you are gay
April 18th, 2009 at 5:51 amJoey Boots is a stool pusher
April 18th, 2009 at 10:23 amWow, 2nd and 4th would be great. I’d even be happy with trading our 1st-2nd rd and 2nd-3rd rd picks.
April 18th, 2009 at 11:29 amIs there any new news concerning this subject or is it still the same old same old.I’m just thinking Edwards,Manningham,Smith those three for sure figure to be on the roster,Hixon if he’s not traded,I believe as good a catch he made in the Super Bowl Tyree won’t make the cut.Moss I don’t know about he’s kind of confused me at first he was getting hurt alot so his playing time was nonexistant,then he stayed healthy and he still didn’t get any playing time,I don’t see that changing unless some serious injury occurs.I think if we trade for Braylon we will go after that Ramses kid we like so much since Britt and the other WRs will be gone.Robsikie I think would be a good pick if we don’t pick a LB with our first pick in the second round.I just can’t wait draft time is always exciting for me.
April 18th, 2009 at 12:30 pmi saw on an nhl chat with solomon wilcots that said it was dependent on what happens with stallworth but that he fully expects to get it done so hopefully our teams can reach an agreement bob
April 18th, 2009 at 1:27 pmps last comment i meant nfl draft obv wilcots doesnt do hockey
April 18th, 2009 at 2:03 pmAnd Joey Boots — you’re right I am gay. But just because I like my Bud in the can doesn’t mean I can’t have an opinion.
April 18th, 2009 at 5:19 pmuh-oh…..i did’nt say a damn thing here for the record…sodev
April 18th, 2009 at 6:27 pmSo . . . are any of you guys available? I love football guys!!!
April 18th, 2009 at 9:01 pmlol, dave! Funny stuff.
GHQ sure has gotten a lot of attention with this rumor… could be good in the long run.
April 19th, 2009 at 12:13 amjoey boots youre real funny. why dont you step outside and get some fresh air? youre taking the internet too seriously tool bag
April 19th, 2009 at 12:43 pmJoescro have you heard anything about this deal as of late you know anything updated to let the fans know that this deal will go down for certain or do we still have to wait for the GMs to stop playing their chest games.I seen in your post that Edwards should be in N.J. sometime early this week for a physical,if that was to go down as you reported that should be the tell tale sign shouldn’t it?
April 19th, 2009 at 1:23 pmSay joescro what have you heard about Hixon being dealt to the Dolphins for a 5th round draft choice,here’s the link that I read it from http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/dolphins/13847 it also says the Giants are likely to land Edwards just wanted to know if you’ve heard anything like that is in this post.
April 19th, 2009 at 3:05 pmNo updates still the same thing…Most likely wont hear anything until we are a day or two from the draft
April 19th, 2009 at 4:46 pmI saw that article…The piece on Hixon is one of the most ridiculous things I have seen. If we got BE it does not mean we have to get rid of someone.
April 19th, 2009 at 5:19 pmC’mon rob – this is a sports blog not a gay singles bar. Give us a break!
April 19th, 2009 at 7:23 pmhahahahah ok joeyboots. why dont you step away from the computer and go get a life
April 19th, 2009 at 9:39 pmHey joescro is there anything new about the Edwards talk,just getting in from work and haven’t seen anything anywhere else so I’ve asked you can we as Giant fans get excited.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:59 pmDude — Figure it out. This guy doesn’t know anything. He’s just some college kid making stuff up.
April 21st, 2009 at 6:00 amHey guys any new news on Braylon?
April 21st, 2009 at 10:42 amI actually BELEIVE this rumor and it seems that it is leaking to some othr sources as well. However, from what I am hearing the trade is for at least a 1st and a 3rd. But Ive heard from two other credible sources that its a done deal but the cntract talks are still underway.
April 21st, 2009 at 11:05 amWes – What other sources???
April 21st, 2009 at 1:42 pmCouple of Browns beat writers and Gil Brandt both said that their sources are saying that a deal is in place and prolly wont be revealed until draft day. All of this could be BS but being that alot of writers are starting to hear that a deal is in place seems to add water to the rumor. The other rumors came and died in a bout a day but no one is really shootign this one down. Seems like it may be real and just hush hush. Wont know for sure until draft day though and some are saying a second some are saying a 1st, however with the Browns working out late first round WRs I am thinking its our 1st.
April 21st, 2009 at 4:46 pmwhere did gil brandt say that, wes?
April 21st, 2009 at 6:42 pmIt was on Sirius radio and he said his sources in the NFL say the Edwards to Giants trade was a DONE deal.
April 21st, 2009 at 8:04 pmthis is from a Browns beat Writer:
Quote from PD Grossi
“Nevertheless, the interest in Massaquoi confirms, to me, that a trade of Braylon Edwards to New York is done. It just doesn’t make sense for it to be announced until after the Browns make their first pick on Saturday”
They still feel it’s going to be a 1st and 3rd pick.
April 21st, 2009 at 8:05 pmsweet..thanks
April 21st, 2009 at 8:26 pmI don’t know it’s starting to get a lil hard to wait all this time esp. when you see other rumors on-line like I just seen on http://www.scout.com on the Giants page that posts some of the rumors they had it like the Browns would draft Crabtree and the Giants at 29 would draft Robiskie and then trade him to them for Edwards along with a 3rd rounder from us has anyone heard anything like this.
April 21st, 2009 at 9:45 pmwhy do we have to make their pick for them….they can draft whoever they like at 29..whatever as long as the deal gets done
April 21st, 2009 at 10:39 pmA 1st and Kiwi… please. FU Cleveland. You take what we give you!
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/22/giants-holding-firm-in-braylon-edwards-trade-talks/
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:42 pmMan I seen on http://www.profootballtalk.com that thew Browns want Kiwi and the Giants 1st rounder,are they crazy,if this is the way they are negotiating it’s no wonder Edwards is not with the Giants yet.I can’t blame Reese for not caving in this is not a good deal for the Giants.The Browns want too much and they know it.If this is what they really want I say we should draft a WR and lets move on Jackson contributed with the Eagles this past season so it’s not entirely impossible.I wouldn’t let the Browns pull off this deal.
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:19 pm[...] related draft/trade/Crabtree news a growing number of reports have a deal in place between the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns for WR Braylon Edwards. Word [...]
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:00 pmWhere’s the update joescro??? A lot of reports saying the talks are “dead”… Where is your “source”, or was is just the imaginary voices in your head?
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:50 pmHa,Ha,HA dude that was funny,but seriously I think he’s going to update,just be cool.
April 23rd, 2009 at 7:41 pmwhere is an update joe??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:50 pmThe DEAD talks could be a smokescreen for real. However we wont know until draft day. Asking for a 1st and Kiwi? CMon…I odnt beleive that. I think it will be a 1st and a 3rd for Braylon on draft day REGARDLESS if they select Crabtree. They have been working out Britt, Heyward-Bey and Nicks. They obviosuly are weighing their options on IF Crabtree is not there or IF they opt to select something else at that spot.
April 24th, 2009 at 8:15 amI tihnk too many rumors got out and they spread the DEAD rumor to create a smokescreen before the draft. I tihnk the Browns KNOW htey have a late round 1st pick so they are weighing their options as to who they want to draft.
The Giants are trading for Boldin. No wait, the Giants are trading for Edwards. Wait, no they’re not. I mean yes they are.
April 24th, 2009 at 9:18 amThis is rediculous.
The giants will likely draft Offensive line and linebacker early in the draft.
They will trade for Edwards during the draft. They will trade a 2 and a 4 or something along those lines.
Statistically, the first 4 years of Edwards’ career is almost identical to the first 4 years of Plaxico’s career (except of course, the drops).
Expect the next 4 years of Edwards’ career with the Giants to go similarly to Plaxico’s. He will be a pro-bowler, a superbowl winner, and he will inadvertently shoot himself in the leg in a NYC nightclub in the year 2013.
Boldin has a few intangibles (blocking). But for how ‘tough’ he is, he certainly gets injured a lot.
The Giants are fine even if they don’t address the WR position. They certainly don’t need to draft one. Isn’t this why they’ve spent a #2 on Smith, a # 2 on Moss, and an #3 on Manningham, as well as a waiver on Hixon? How is Kenny Britt the answer, and not Smith, Moss, Manningham, or Hixon. They need depth, that’s all.
Like I said, they will draft Offensive Line, and Linebacker. Defensive Backfield depth as well. They won’t ‘trade up’. They will trade picks for Edwards or trade picks for 2010 picks.
There are currently new rumors that the Giants plan to trade up to draft Darrius Heyward-Bey. Seems the Browns have interest in DHB and the Giants are using this as a way to tel lthe Browns, give us BE or we will draft DHB.
April 24th, 2009 at 12:23 pm?????????
April 25th, 2009 at 8:08 pmhey joe you are so wrongggggggggggggggggggggggggg you must have egg on your face
