Sure it is a long shot for Clayton to really produce for us, but maybe a new venue can give the guy a new lease on his career. Look at Braylon Edwards. He was a joke in Cleveland, now he is a serviceable threat. Maybe not a consistent pro bowler type, but he is a threat. Armstrong and Moss are the only strong Wr's we have seen thus far. outside of the dynamic TE duo we have. DT had a great game vs the Bills, but like everyone has said he has a lot of drops ala Rod Gardner. If DT could reduce the drops and play consistently well, he will be a stud, but alas we are not so fortunate.

It would only be 6 games if he's not on an active roster before Sept. 4th

And I think it's a bit of a stretch to say Edwards was a joke in Cleveland

People up here made fun of him, even Browns fans, And do you really want to give up a lot of $$$ and a draft pick for VJ? I mean we seem to be putting all of our eggs into one basket like always. Getting high priced FAs to win now? Sounds vaguely familiar, just like the regime we all hated so much for so long at Redskins Park. Sure he is talented, but if you really wanted a stud WR so bad to win now, should have just got TO, no picks would have been had to be sacrificed. VJ could come in here and be a cancer just as much as TO could, but I think TO realizes the end is nearing for him and he has no rings, so he is going to be a good boy. Not so sure about VJ.

I don't want to trade for Jackson, don't believe I ever said I did

As for Edwards, people can make fun of him all they want. And I agree for the #3 overall pick his numbers weren't outstanding but he had some pretty nice numbers for the Browns during his time there
