Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Argonauts inked wideout Jason Barnes, signing the fleet receiver through 2013. Barnes, who was plucked from the Edmonton Eskimos, will be reunited with former Esks quarterback and current Argos signal caller Ricky Ray.

 

"Jason Barnes is a legitimate receiving threat with size and experience in the CFL. We believe he is just beginning to realize his potential and will continue to get better," said Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich. "His chemistry with Ricky is obviously another positive as we continue to add weapons for 2012."

 

Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have re-signed offensive lineman Glenn January. January started every game at right tackle for the Blue Bombers last season and was named an East Division All-Star. He missed the entire 2010 campaign with a torn pectoral muscle.

 

"We are very happy to have Glenn back in the fold for next season," said Bombers vice president and general manager Joe Mack. "Coming off a serious injury to being named a Divisional All-Star is something to be proud of and we're very happy we were able to keep another member of our offensive line in tact."

 

Haynesworth was claimed off waivers from New England on November 9, a day after the Patriots cut the embattled Tennessee product loose. He totaled 20 tackles in seven games (six starts) for Tampa Bay at the end of last season.

 

In 123 career games with the Titans, Redskins, Pats and Bucs, the 30-year-old has compiled 347 tackles and 30 1/2 sacks.

 

Koch is entering his third pro season. He totaled 15 receptions for 133 yards in nine games for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2011.

 

Vancouver, BC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The British Columbia Lions signed defensive backs Ryan Phillips and Dante Marsh on Wednesday. Phillips returns for his eighth season with the defending Grey Cup champions and was eligible for free agency. The two-time CFL All-Star has 320 tackles and 31 interceptions in 126 career games with the Lions.

After all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer.

Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise.

Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games.

So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver.

In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team.

For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC.

The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’.

The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback.
