"The talks are still on. The Browns are being cheap right now and have no interest in re-signing Edwards to a big deal. They are willing to take low compensation. They are asking for a conditional next year (high as a 3) and Danny Ware and Mario Manningham (who Mangini wanted badly for the Jets). They were asking for these same two players before the draft, but the feeling is they can get New York to bite now that they got Nicks and Brown in the draft."
"(I do not) know the status of the Giants response to this offer."
I honestly would DEFINITELY have to pull the trigger on the deal in 2 seconds! I am the first to say that I LOVE Danny Ware more than any Giants fan on the planet but giving him up to get a top tier Wide Receiver in the NFL, is a no brainer. Mario Manningham is very raw and still has a lot to learn to make it on the field on a consistent basis and a 3rd round pick is not bad to give up either. Go for it Jerry!!! In Reese We Trust!
I hope the rumor's true, because if it is, JR might pull the trigger. The remaining question would be whether there's enough CAP space to pay him something approaching Larry Fitz pay... that's what he wants and expects. As of today, it doesn't look like there is.
