Some Rex Ryan comments on acquiring Braylon Edwards:
"I want to win now. Every team in the league should want to win now. In my opinion it’s a copout for any team to say, 'We’ve got a four-year program.' Well, how convenient. Your contract is four years, or whatever. To me, I don’t see how that's justified.
"Every team in the league has the same amount of money, the same resources. So why shouldn't you go for the same goal? We’re going for the Super Bowl championship. If people say that’s ridiculous, I think it’s ridiculous you should have any other goal in mind."
How can you not like that approach?
He also said of Edwards:
"I faced him two times a year for a long time (in Baltimore). He's young, fast, has a big size advantage, when he's covered he's still open. I know he's had drops … but he also comes down with some unbelievable catches."

no doubt this comment was aimed at mangini because this is EXACTLY what he is doing. attempting to secure employment for as long as possible. he stripped the team down to scrubs, has-beens and nobody wants, traded the actual talent for minimal return and devalued the top two qb's on the roster by letting teams actually see how terrible they are on the field. better to have traded quinn before people actually saw him play. but what does mangini care? he has the next 4 years to collect a check and talk aston villa with the fraud owner.
Hopefully, Quinn gets out of jail also.
I watched this, and now I'm even more depressed by this el stinko trade.
Check that. A trade implies that the Browns received something in return. No, this was not a trade. This was a donation.
