Jets' Braylon Edwards faces jail after being accused of punching friend of LeBron James outside club

That risk the Jets called "manageable" when they signed Braylon Edwards became more tangible Monday.

The lightning rod wide receiver was charged with misdemeanor assault in Cleveland Municipal Court in connection with an incident outside a downtown nightclub days before the Jets acquired him in a trade with the Browns.

The Jets issued a statement that seemed not to indicate much concern. "The team was aware of these allegations prior to acquiring Braylon from Cleveland. He has been cooperative with authorities and we will allow the legal process to run its course," the statement read.

Edwards faces a sentence of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, if convicted, with a hearing scheduled for Nov. 17 in Cleveland. He is accused of punching entertainment promoter Edward Givens outside the View Ultralounge and Nightclub at about 2:30 a.m., the morning after a Browns loss to the Bengals.
