Braylon Edwards Issues Public Apology

Braylon has issued a public apology:

"I would like to apologize to my family, my fans, Mr. Johnson, Mike Tannenbaum, Rex Ryan and my teammates,'' Edwards said. "I will respect the process that is in place and will fully cooperate with the league.

"I am truly happy to be a member of the New York Jets and I hope I have the opportunity to retire here. I now have to regain the trust of my teammates, the organization and the fans. ''

This is a good first step for Braylon. We've gone over the details, but it was important he got this out. I personally hope Braylon does have the opportunity to retire here. I've become a big fan over the last year with his general attitude and his performance. Of course this situation subtracts some of that.
