Even being in a different team in New York, wide receiver Braylon Edwards still has to deal with something that happened during his time with old team in Cleveland. Being arraigned in Cleveland Municipal Court on Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge.
The receiver now playing game in Jets jersey was accused of punching a man outside a downtown nightclub last month when he was still a Browns player. Two days after being accused, he was traded to the Jets by the Browns, who seemed eager to get rid of troubles caused by Edwards’ punching a friend of NBA star LeBron James on Oct. 5.
Edwards waived his right to a speedy trial and was scheduled for a Dec. 12 court hearing
While the Browns thought they had to get rid of the receiver, Edwards himself might also feel happy for being traded, considering that he dropped passes, criticized the team’s play-calling, and argued with teammates while playing for the Browns.

Browns WR Stallworth did not feel drunk before DUI crash
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth told police he did not feel drunk in the hours before he struck and killed a pedestrian with his car.
Stallworth told police that he drank four shots of premium tequila while partying with friends, including fellow Browns receiver Braylon Edwards, and lab tests later showed Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level of .126, above Florida’s .08 limit. He encountered 59-year-old Mario Reyes while driving out for breakfast in his 2005 Bentley.
“I seen him in the street and I flashed my lights at him to let him at least know I was coming. I tried to swerve over as much as I could,” Stallworth said. “If he would have completely stopped and not kept going … don’t know why he kept going. I don’t know. I should have just stayed home.”
Edwards said he and Stallworth had drinks earlier in the day by the pool at the hotel before meeting at the nightclub and confirmed that Stallworth didn’t seem impaired when they parted ways early the morning of the crash.
Toxicology analysis also confirmed reports that Stallworth tested positive for marijuana in addition to alcohol. Neither Stallworth nor Edwards mentioned any use of marijuana. Stallworth has been suspended indefinitely by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell now.
Possiblity of Stallworth's future is unclear. Not sure if he will be released by the Brwons or be able to wear other team such as denver broncos jersey if so.
