NEW YORK -- On the day New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards was in a Manhattan courtroom trying to get his drunken-driving case thrown out, he said he wants to stay with the Jets.

In September, Edwards was assessed by police to have a blood alcohol level that was roughly twice the legal limit, from breath tests administered both at the scene of the arrest and later when he was taken into custody. (Peter) Frankel (Edwards attorney) has already filed to suppress the second test in the event of a trial and will file a motion to suppress the first in the next few weeks.

Edwards was already on probation because of a dust-up in Cleveland when New York police said they pulled him over in September because his luxury SUV's windows were too dark. Officers said his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit.

If Edwards is found guilty of the DUI, he could be compelled to return to Cleveland and face six months in jail for violating the terms of his probation there.
