Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who was arrested for DWI early Tuesday morning, should be benched this Sunday, according to a poll released today.
The question of whether Edwards should sit out the game against the Miami Dolphins — posed by kgb 542542 text answer service (www.kgbanswers.com) — yielded a whopping 89 percent who agreed he should be benched.
Only 11 percent said Edwards should play.
The poll took into account 750 responses.
The Jets have said Edwards will start the game on the bench.
If the Jets deactivated Edwards, he would lose a $30,000 bonus his contract calls for every time he makes the 45-man game-day roster, and that would further complicate the legalities of a grievance, since teams are not allowed to suspend players for DWI arrests.
