Giants and Browns Trade for Braylon Edwards Agreed to in Principle

The Giants have been trying to find a playmaker to replace the legally challenged and recently released wide receiver Plaxico Burress. The two prime suspects are Arizona wideout Anquan Boldin and Cleveland WR Braylon Edwards.

We have just heard that ESPN 950 in Philadelphia is reporting that they have learned the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns had agreed in principle on a trade that would send Braylon Edwards to New York for first and fifth round picks in the draft later this month. The rumor also said that the Giants had called a press conference for 10am on Thursday.

It is being reported elsewhere that the Browns have set the asking price at 1st and 3rd round picks to obtain the rights to the former Michigan star receiver. So if this rumour turns out to be true the Giants have definately gotten themselves a steal.

Stay tuned and if the rumor has legs we will likely know for certain at 10am tomorrow.
