Jets reportedly have decided not to re-sign WR Edwards

Wide receiver Braylon Edwards won't be back with the Jets, the New York Daily News reported Saturday, citing a source.

The Jets would like to re-sign their unrestricted free agent, but don't have the salary cap space, the Daily News reported via its Twitter account.

According to the source, Edwards' return "won't happen."

One free agent the Jets could turn to, according the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, is former Giants and Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress. Burress, who was released from prison in June, was visiting the Steelers on Saturday, the Post-Gazette reported.

Edwards, 28, apparently saw the writing on the wall Wednesday, when the Jets extended a five-year deal worth almost $50 million, including $24 million guaranteed, to Santonio Holmes.

He congratulated Holmes via Twitter, but wrote "I would love to be a Jet but the feeling doesn't seem to be mutual with the management."

He removed that post, but later added, ""Will always love jets nation no matter what happens.

I dont see Edwards getting a big time deal .... he's just too inconsistant. I think the Texans got much the same player in JJ 3 years $10.5m ?

oh i agree, don't think he does tho....best thing for him is to sign a 1 year deal and prove this season that he deserves that pay day next offseason.

When I read between the lines in that story, I don't think it's about money. I'm thinking this is about attitude or actions behind the scenes on the part of Edwards.
