Source: Edwards traded to jetsComment Email Print Share ESPN.com news services

The Cleveland Browns traded Braylon Edwards to the New York Jets on Wednesday morning according to a league source, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported.


After months of holding out, wide receiver Michael Crabtree has agreed to a contract with the San Francisco 49ers, league sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Crabtree will get a six-year deal that he can void to five years if he meets undefined performance clauses, a league source told ESPN's Michael Smith.

The 22-year-old Crabtree is expected to report to the team's training facility Wednesday.

Crabtree and agent Eugene Parker met into the early-morning hours Wednesday with 49ers owner Jed York, general manager Scot McCloughan and Paraag Marathe, vice president of football operations. The two sides had gone almost three weeks without talking.

San Francisco selected Crabtree with the 10th pick in this year's draft and could use the wideout's game-breaking ability in the passing game. That said, he has a lot of catching up to do to learn the offense after missing all of training camp.

He also sat out the 49ers' offseason minicamps and organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury, but was a regular presence for rehabilitation and strengthening workouts at the team's training facility.

Coach Mike Singletary, whose 49ers lead the NFC West and at 3-1 are off to their best start since 2002, said Monday he would welcome Crabtree whenever he joins the team.

Crabtree caught 97 passes for 1,165 yards and 19 touchdowns last year during his sophomore season at Texas Tech. He finished his college career with 231 receptions for 3,127 yards and 41 TDs.

That means Edwards gets to drop the ball wearing Jet green.

Braylon will become an All-Pro now that he left the Browns.

Not until he cures the 'dropsies'.

True. I used to revel in his misery with
the Browns fans.
The Browns fans are really jealous of the
Steelers success. I always tell them they
lost their playoff ticket by drafting
Kellen Winslow instead of Big Ben and
Joe Thomas instead of Adrian Petersen.

And I don't know why they were so quick to hire 'Mangenius'. Dude is more of a control freak that Belicheat. From what I've read, he's pissed off most of the team with his micro-managing.
