With a labor resolution and the start of NFL free agency potentially on the horizon, receiver Braylon Edwards pleaded guilty this morning to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated, stemming from an arrest last September. He must pay a $500 fine and continue to participate in the NFL's substance-abuse program.
Edwards' drivers' license will be suspended for six months, and he must install also an ignition interlock system that requires the driver to blow into a blood alcohol detector before starting the car.
"I feel good; I feel like it came to a fair conclusion," said Edwards, who wore a lime-green shirt and arrived with his parents at Manhattan Criminal Court. "I'm happy this is past us, and now it's time to focus on football again."
