The Bears have one good receiver (Berian, sp?) and a solid possession guy (Muhammed, sp?), they could have used Edwards, but I am pretty sure the Browns would take a significant cap hit if they traded him.
And, truthfully, if the Jets got him for a second rounder, Edwards would have been too much to give them.
It's all right, though, I doubt the guy is the second coming of Jim Brown or anything.
