After the New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards was charged with misdemeanor on Monday for allegedly assaulting a friend of LeBron James, he did not seem to have to face suspension from the league.
According to reports, the fact that he has no prior history is helping Edwards stay clear of any league suspension. The Jets have announced earlier that they were aware of the allegation even before the team traded for him with the Cleveland Browns. In fact they did a background check and talked to both law-enforcement folks and league security about Edwards before making the deal.
What the Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum told the paper was that the "risk was manageable" the team made the final decision to acquired Edwards. And the receiver’s on-field performance did not disappoint the team as he has become the best receiver against Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Talented WR Edwards was traded to Jets after Browns lost to Bengals
On Wednesday morning, wide receiver Braylon Edwards was about to put on his practice cleveland browns jersey as usual, but a call from coach Eric Mangini told him that he is going to wear another team’s Jersey since on.
Mangini told him that he was traded to the New York Jets. Afterwards, the talented but troubled wide receiver flied to New York and showed up at the Jets’ facility shortly after practice ended, and tried on his new green and white threads jets jersey, and was included in the team picture.
“It was interesting getting off a plane and rushing right to a team photo,” Edwards said, smiling. “The guys in the locker room were good.”
The deal cost the Jets wide receiver Chansi Stuckey, linebacker Jason Trusnik and two undisclosed draft choices. Edwards has 10 receptions for 139 yards but was shut out for the first time in his career in the winless Browns’ 23-20 overtime loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. But to Jets, Edwards will help jumpstart the running game and become the legitimate deep threat for Mark Sanchez to throw to opposite Jerricho Cotchery. The Jets has decided to have Edwards start Monday’s game against the Dolphins at Miami.
