New York -- Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards is in a New York jail right now, awaiting arraignment on a driving while intoxicated charge. New York cops pulled the Jets wideout over at 5:15 a.m. today because the windows in his Range Rover were tinted too dark.

He blew 0.16 on a Breathalyzer, twice the legal limit in New York, according to a story on the arrest in the New York Post.

The Jets said they are "disappointed" in Edwards' actions, according to The Sports. Network.

"We are very disappointed in Braylon's actions this morning. The Player Protect program is in place for our organization to prevent this situation. Braylon is aware of this program and showed poor judgment," the Jets said.

"We are reviewing the information with the league and will impose the appropriate disciplinary measures."

Edwards had five catches for 45 yards and a touchdown this past Sunday in a 28-14 win over New England after catching just one pass for nine yards in the season opener against Baltimore.
Edwards began his career with the Browns, and it was a stormy relationship at best. He was dealt to the Jets last year not long after an incident at a downtown club in which he punched a friend of then-Cavs star LeBron James.
