Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Analysis: Braylon's back -- again  By
Rich Cimini  Thoughts and observations on WR Braylon Edwards,
who is planning to sign a one-year contract, a source familiar
with the deal told ESPN Insider Adam Schefter:  1. Desperation:
Why not? Obviously, a 30-year-old receiver with only 33 catches
over the last two seasons isn't a savior, but he will upgrade a
young and beat up receiving corps that was neglected in the
offseason by new GM John Idzik. Edwards was the Jets' most
productive receiver over the final three games last year -- 10
catches. That's not saying much, but you get the picture. Look,
at this point, you're not going to find anything better on the
scrap heap.  2. Chemistry: Edwards and QB Mark Sanchez have
always had a nice rapport on the field. The highlight was 2010,
when Sanchez enjoyed his best year and Edwards averaged 17 yards
per catch. Who can forget that tremendous catch-and-run for a
touchdown in the playoff win
