Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum told reporters Thursday that Gang Green has not ruled out a reunion with Braylon Edwards, who was a Jet for most of 2009 and all of 2010.
Edwards and current Jets receiver Santonio Holmes were both free agents following the 2010 season, and New York re-signed Holmes while Edwards signed a one-year deal with the 49ers.The seventh-year wideout caught 53 passes and seven touchdowns from Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez in 2010, recording a career-high 17.1 yards-per-catch average.
Edwards, who is coming off a knee injury, is an above-average downfield run-blocker and has the size and physicality to fight for tough catches, something neither Plaxico Burress or Holmes were willing to do in 2011.
Edwards also immediately clicked with Sanchez when the two joined forces in Week 5 of the 2009 season, and Tannenbaum credited Edwards as being a "tremendous" practice player.
Tannenbaum said he doesn't expect the Jets to make any more signings before the draft, which begins next Thursday.
