Braylon Edwards For Kiwanuka Rumors
There doesn’t seem to be much of substance behind these Braylon Edwards for Mathias Kiwanuka rumors, but since they are floating around in a legitimate news outlet we wanted to bring them to your attention. Tony Grossi at The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the following:
The Giants need to replace problem player Plaxico Burress with another big, physical receiver. They also have an embarrassing surplus of pass rushers after signing free agents Rocky Bernard and Chris Canty. Kiwanuka is a 6-5, 265-pound end who would line up at outside linebacker on the side opposite Kamerion Wimbley.
The problem with this trade is it leaves the Browns with virtually no playmakers on offense, Kellen Winslow already having been traded.
The net result would be replacing Quinn, Rogers and Edwards with Cutler, Kiwanuka and a high Denver draft choice.
There would be salary cap ramifications for all parties involved. But we’ll let the capologists figure them out. Never let the salary cap get in the way of a juicy trade rumor.
Alas, I’ve checked into these and a source who would know said there are no legs to either rumor.
So there you have it, take that for what it’s worth.
Hat tip to Rob for the news.
