Cleveland was serious about getting rid of Braylon Edwards this offseason, but the Giants didn't want to give up first and third-round picks for Edwards. There was this perception that Edwards wanted out of Cleveland. He could have sulked, and maybe he did, by missing several offseason workouts following the draft but in an interview with FanHouse, Edwards said he's committed to the Browns. "I never said I wanted to go," Edwards said. "The Browns tried to put a trade out there. It's always about progress in any level of sport. It will always be business. Trades happen, releases happen, I never took it personal. They thought highly enough of me to ask for a lot and in doing so, the Giants couldn't give the Browns what they wanted. It's a business."

I think he is committed to the Browns could be traced back to the fact that no team was willing to give up more than a middle round pick for him. He knows that if a team is only willing to so little in a trade then they would not be willing to sign him to a big contract.
