CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns contacted the FBI about possible threats to former Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards, an FBI official said Saturday morning.

The threats followed the incident earlier this month when Edwards was accused of punching a man outside a downtown nightclub. Edwards was traded to the New York Jets a few days later.

The altercation prompted the Browns organization to call the Cleveland FBI, Special Agent Scott Wilson said.

"They were concerned regarding that incident," Wilson said. "We had some conversations with the Browns about possible threats."

There is no investigation into the threats, Wilson said.

No charges have been filed in the scuffle. Witnesses told police Edwards punched entertainment promoter Edward Givens outside the View Ultralounge & Nightclub on Prospect Avenue.

Givens is a friend of Cavs forward LeBron James. The incident prompted James to say Edwards is jealous of the basketball superstar.
