Mmmmm..... leftovers...

One of the many things I didn't get around to last week was addressing this stink nugget from CBS Sportsline's Michael Hurcomb on what to expect to get back for Braylon Edwards:
Since the change of QBs in Cleveland Week 2, Edwards has 503 receiving yards and seven touchdowns... Possible targets would include an underachieving Rudi Johnson, he is bound to break out; Brandon Jacobs, clearly the best running back in New York; Clinton Portis, a little injury prone but racking up touchdowns; or Frank Gore, another guy that is severely underproducing and would be a good bargain at this stage.

Jacobs, yes. Portis, maybe but probably no. Gore, definitely not. I would look at Edgerrin James, Reggie Bush, MoJo Drew, Kevin Jones or even a Marion Barber. Remember, don't make your initial offer too low or the other guy will accept without hesitation. You want to negotiate!
