Braylon Edwards is a Jet, and Michael Crabtree is a 49er.

Those were the big news items that came out this morning. The Cleveland Browns traded Edwards to the New York Jets, in return getting WR Chansi Stuckey and LB Jason Trusnik, along with two draft picks (I'm reading a 3rd and a 5th rounder). Edwards went without a catch in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati for the first time in his NFL career. That night he went out at a Cleveland bar and allegedly punched one of LeBron James' friends. Probably not a good idea to mess with LeBron in Cleveland.

Dallas' Michael Crabtree signed a 6-year contract with San Francisco, ending a months-long holdout. Crabtree had been hoping for a contract more in line with that of the 7th overall pick, WR Darius Heyward-Bey (5 years, $23.5 million guaranteed). Instead, it's likely that Crabtree will get $16 million guaranteed, which is what the 49ers had been offering. It's also a 6-year deal, although there are some performance incentives that will allow Crabtree to void the 6th year if he reaches those.
