Braylon Edwards Jets Trade Impact
Wednesday, 07 October 2009 16:55

Braylon Edwards was spectacular in 2007 with 80 receptions, nearly 1300 yards, 16 TDs and 16.1 yards per reception. Poor QB play and his own problem dropping catchable balls has resulted in a huge drop-off since ’07.

Time will tell if Braylon Edwards emerges as the #1 over Jerricho Cotchery in New York, but if he can establish himself as a solid #2, his production per target (fewer drops, more yards per reception, more TDs) should increase substantially playing with a better offense that can run the ball well and a QB who actually completes over 57 percent of his passes.

Before the trade AccuScore gave the Jets a 56 percent chance of making the playoffs and a 34 percent chance of winning the AFC East. With a motivated, more “stable” Edwards the Jets improved their chances of winning the division to 38 percent and chances of making the playoffs to 61 percent.
