Braylon Edwards Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards will not get suspended by the NFL for an incident outside of View Ultralounge & Nightclub last October. Edwards punched Ed Givens, a friend of LeBron James.
Edwards pleaded no contest in January to misdemeanor assault. According to ESPN.com, instead of a suspension, it's believed that Edwards will be fined an undisclosed amount by the league.
Shortly after the punch, Edwards was traded to the New York Jets.
On ESPN.com:
This is important news for the Jets, who had been bracing for the possibility of being without two receivers for the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. They already know they won't have Santonio Holmes, who faces a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. The Jets were aware of the pending suspension when they acquired Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
