Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports odds are that Braylon Edwards will remain with the team this season. ... unless a team comes out of nowhere with a huge trade offer late in training camp because a receiver is hurt and it is desperate for a replacement. So far, Edwards has been doing what the coaches have asked. The Browns are hoping that as Edwards heads into some type of free agency (depending upon what happens with the collective bargaining agreement), he will be at his best this year. It's in his self-interest to do so and it's also a chance to revive his reputation, which took a hit when he led the NFL in dropped passes a year ago.
It turns out the Giants never did offer a package that included their first-round pick plus some other players for Edwards. Nor did any other team offer a first-rounder for Edwards. The trade offers the Browns received were far more modest than that -- middle-round picks and so-so veterans. So they decided to keep Edwards and see if they can get him back to playing as he did in 2007.
I think for the most part team do not like getting head aches like Edwards. They also know that when his contract comes up that either or both sides would not want to deal with each other.
