Will Braylon or Boldin wear Blue?

boldin_250_041709.jpgSince the Giants decided to say goodbye to Plaxico Burress there have been many trade rumors about Braylon Edwards coming to New Jersey. I have stated in past blogs that I think it would be a good move for the Giants to acquire Edwards but it would eventually come down to what the Browns are seeking in return. The Giants have many draft picks to work with and they probably are going to make some sort of draft-day move because they do not have room on the roster for all 10 picks. My guess is that if the Giants really do want Edwards the two teams will work out a deal.

The other two receivers who also have been mentioned in rumors are Anquan Boldin and Chad Johnson. As of today, the Cardinals have officially put Boldin on the trading block and are listening to offers. My guess is that his asking price will be high, but it does, however, give the Giants better leverage if they choose to go after Edwards if the Browns do indeed plan to trade him. Who knows, maybe Boldin is the guy that the Giants are targeting all along and Edwards is the smokescreen?

Speaking of smokescreens, I really hope that the Johnson rumors are just that. Why would the Giants want to give themselves another headache when they just ridded themselves of one? I just cannot see Ocho Cinco and General Coughlin co-existing with each other.

Both Boldin and Edwards would be good fits for the Giants and if Jerry Reese really wants one of them, he will make it happen. The Giants are a young, talented team, and both receivers are young and have an upside, so I would not be surprised if the Giants offered multiple picks for either player.
