July 24, 2013: Jets made a series of roster moves. Signed Braylon Edwards to a 1 year contract. He would be waived about a month later, never making the 2013 roster. He couldn't make the roster over such WR studs as Ben Obomanu, Clyde Gates, Stephen Hill, David Nelson and Greg Salas. A definite sign that it was time for Braylon to hang them up. A lot of great moments from Braylon in his first sting with the Jets. My favorite was this catch that set up the game winning FG in the '10 Divisional Playoff against Indy. I was sitting in the stands with my son that evening. Best Jet moment that I have ever seen live was that playoff win.

Also on 7/24/13, Jets signed Former Titan and unrestricted free agent DL Leger Douzable. Under the radar signing that has worked out well for teh Jets as Douzable has been a solid contributor and a regular part of our DL rotation. Douzable has played in all 32 games since signing with in 2013.

And finally, 7/24/13 also saw the Jets sign first round draft pick, rookie of the year, Sheldon Richardson. I hated him coming out of college when he ragged on Georgia and the SEC for playing "old man" football. Then the Dawgs kicked Mizzou's ass in their first SEC game and shut him up. Then we drafted him and I have loved that pick. NOw, if he can just learn to stay away from the weed. Won't see him until week 6 against Wash. Hope to see a lot of this from Sheldon in our two games against the Pats this year:

And one more to add:
July 24, 2015, Bing asks me to take over his This Day in Jet History forum. Made it through a whole year, time to start bumping old threads rather than creating new ones. Don't know what I will do with all that extra time on my hands.

nice job on the history threads. braylon was quite good. not sure why he didn't make the team for the second go around. i guess it was injury related. too bad. as for richardson, you gotta love the fire the gu plays with. he along with wilk and leo make one heck of a nice dline. here's to hoping he stays out of off season trouble.
