I don't know if any of them watched him play the past 2 yrs. Every time a washed up big name player is cut there will be a contingent who believes he can still bring back the old magic and help their team.

Braylon was cut by a team already thin at wide receiver heading into the playoffs. It should tell you something.

I hear ya my friend, but you now me. I have my little soapboxes and these things are one of them. Mix in a slow site and a chance to poke one of the new guys, and I couldn't resist.

I may go since I found out I have Sunday off (normally work Sundays, which is why I hadn't gone to many games this year).

Just depends on our New Years plans.

I have no desire to bring Braylon in here anymore after this season. I was kind of intrigued coming into the season, but he just would not add much.

I personally am starting to fall big time on the draft Justin Blackmon bandwagon unless we get lucky and land a stud in free agency.

And Percy Harvin is a star receiver. I am also very happy with Jenkins as a No. 3. So Blackmon or a stud receiver would be much nicer to add over a broken down Braylon Edwards who never cared to live up to his immense talent level.

So apparently if you were a GM you would never watch the waiver wire because with that mentality you think when someone is gotten rid of that means they aren't a fit anywhere.....interesting.

So you would always take a washed up, no talent left, has been and add him to our roster because another team let him go?
