The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Edwards avoided jail time in a probation violation hearing in Cleveland Municipal Court on Wednesday. Edwards was given 100 hours of community work service and one year of active probation, according to a court spokesman.
Diehards Line:Edwards pleaded guilty last week to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. He was on inactive probation in Cleveland at the time of his DWI arrest stemming for a fight outside a nightclub with a friend of LeBron James. Active probation means Edwards now has to check in with a probation officer in Cleveland by phone once a month. The ruling is good news for Edwards, who now can concentrate on which team he wants to sign with. It is still possible he could return to the Jets, although that is unlikely after the team agreed to a deal with Santonio Holmes this morning.
