Giants quarterback Eli Manning is starting to lobby his team to acquire receiver Braylon Edwards in a trade from the Browns. "You just see him make big plays," Manning said. "I know last year maybe wasn't his best year, but two years ago, he scored a lot of touchdowns. And I think you want a guy who can catch the ball and get in the end zone." Manning is aware that the front office is working hard, but made it known that he wants a top-flight target to replace Plaxico Burress. "I think Jerry Reese and the coaches and the owners, they've been studying all the receivers, whether it's the draft or free agents and what might happen, so I think they're on top of it," Manning said. "They know we have some good receivers but that we might need a No. 1 receiver ... And I'm sure something will happen during the draft or before the draft or right near it to help us out."
