"How the mouthy have fallen.

Braylon Edwards' new one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers , agreed Thursday night, includes not one dollar guaranteed. It is a far fall for a player whose first and last names were once included in the same sentence as the word "elite," and, perhaps more significantly, signed a one-year contract in March, 2010, with the Jets that included an estimated $1 million signing bonus and a $4.355 million base salary .

In between deals, Edwards provided further proof that he yet can live up to being selected No. 3 overall in the 2005 draft, and that his misdeeds off the field will outshine any highlight he can produce on it.

In the past two weeks, Edwards has pleaded guilty to a DWI charge in New York dating back to an early-morning arrest in September, 2010. His license was suspended for six months and, in addition to a $500 fine, he was ordered to install a breathalyzer system in his car. "
