Dolphins Workout WR Braylon Edwards

It would be good for bess by opening up the middle with Edwards and Johnson on the outside... If not the defense will just stack the box and ground the running gm
 
The very latest on Braylon Edwards & the Dolphins

Coaches don’t know if they have receivers who can make a game-changing play, make the heroic game-winning grab or turn a routine pass into a remarkable moment.That’s the reason all options are now on the table. That’s the reason Braylon Edwards worked out last week and is being seriously considered as a possible addition within the next two weeks if not earlier.
That’s why the club is growing increasingly anxious to have the injured Brian Hartline get back on the field.
That’s why everyone is hopeful that Chad Johnson, who predicted a “monster year” this offseason, maintains his current trajectory and proves to be a prophet once the season begins.
Such is the situation with the Dolphins’ most intriguing group of players.
The NFL is a passing league, and the Dolphins have more questions at receiver than anywhere else on the roster, including quarterback.
And because general manager Jeff Ireland’s job is to help provide possible answers to those questions, he brought in Edwards for a workout around the middle of last week to see how the former Pro Bowl receiver might fit into the picture.
The results from that workout?
The Dolphins privately believe Edwards is healthy, which is no small issue considering he finished last season on injured reserve with a knee injury.
The team has very little compunction about Edwards’ citizenship because he’s been trouble-free since 2010 after previous speeding and drunk driving violations.
The Dolphins ultimately seem comfortable with the idea of adding Edwards for the right price and with the right timing.
Edwards is 29 years old and only a stopgap option. But if he could deliver anywhere close to the 904 yards and seven touchdowns he gave the Jets in 2010, the Dolphins would consider that an early Christmas gift.
The reason Edwards is even remotely attractive today is because he’s a proven playmaker when he’s healthy. He has 39 career touchdowns. All the current Dolphins receivers not named Chad Johnson, 11 players in all, have combined for 21 career touchdowns.
Beyond the question of whether or when Edwards should be signed, the Dolphins have other issues at wide receiver that need resolution.

Miami were roundly criticised for signing Chad Johnson. Imagine the crap we would get for signing either Plax or Edwards. No thanks.
 
Amazing how it took until now that they realize we need talent at the WR position. I guess "high quality players" mantra has gone out the door...pathetic.

Love to hear more from the brilliant....."we don't need top tier guys in this offense" that were all over the place after BM was traded. Now we are desperately scraping the FA market for any name past his prime.

I'm here to discuss the topics, stop w/ the silly "trolling" nonsense. You are a better poster than that, leave that to others who have nothing else to post about.

I LOVED all the rhetoric back in March-June about how the "system" didnt require #1's(ie talent), and that signing aging vets would only hold back or take roster space away from all of our "young talent"(ie late rounders and undrafted WRs nobody else wants). All of this talk flew right out the windows after Philbin expressed concerns about WR drops very early in OTAs.

He's serious shifty. Junc has always spoken fairly highly of Braylon.

It's not even about Braylon the player, w/ his injury I'm not sure if he can still play. It's alarming that no one has signed him and he was let go from a WR needy team(at the time) but the 2 years Braylon was here were great and I have great memories of him playing for my team. I wouldn't want to see him playing in a dolphins uniform. It wouldn't be as bad as Chad was but I would hate to see to it.
