Spectralcow Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm not saying that all or any of these guys doesn't deserve to go or that I wouldn't cut them myself, but remember that you've got to be able to replace them somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneil Cousins... free agent, won't be re-signed 8.Leon McFadden... why? I don't get this one at all 9. Chris Oblongbanana... wouldn't care either way These are just off the top of my head.

mdmusch Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm upset that the quote leaked about Little being cut and an example for underperforming. Since he has talent there was still a possibility that they could have parlayed him into a 6th or 7th rounder, or worst case in a flip flop move like the Bess acquisition last year. Now 31 teams know that Little is gone without giving anything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyceRolls Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I would at least keep Pinkston, McFadden and Obi. McFadden hasnt wowed anyone this year but it was his rookie campaign. Remember how much everyone was bitching about skrine last year? This year he was greatly improved and similar improvement could be in store for McFadden. I like Pinkston and view him as a player who is hungry to improve every day. Furthermore, the oline was one of the biggest gripes this year and getting rid of Pinkston certainly wouldn't remedy the situation. I guess the same can be said for Obi; we aren't exactly stacked at the RB position and he has proven to be a reliable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricanE Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think the who I wouldn't cut list would be shorter Hoyer Benjamin Gordon cameron Barnidge (I think people forget about this guy while focusing on Gordon, he made some long grabs) Greco Thomas Schwartz Rubin Taylor Jackson Kruger Haden Ward Mingo Sheard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectralcow Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hahahaha, interesting logic: "A" costs money, so why not do "B", which costs MORE money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricanE Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 haha I don't think we should cut 80% of our team realistically, but any new leadership wants to clean out the old and bring their own guys in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFBF Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 so does signing coaches and then cutting them, so why not True, but Coaches don't count against the Salary Cap, only Players do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 We will let the following players walk as FAs: Shaun Lauvao, Oniel Cousins, Billy Cundiff, Willis McGahee, and Brian Sanford. Here are some of the likely players to get cut: Brandon Weeden Davone Bess Gary Barnidge Greg Little Charles Johnson Brandon Magee Garrett Gilkey Chris Ogbonnaya Eric Martin And I could see Ahtyba Rubin on the trade block... It costs money to cut and replace players, but it costs even more money to keep bad players with expensive contracts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalBrowns Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 One thing the Bengals have that the Browns dont, depth at 90% of the positions.I mean, Jesus the Bengals have half of their defense out and still are playing better D than the Browns, cause of consistent depth. The Browns, when injured, have scrubs come in for depth, the Bengals have Vincent Rey come in and be a monster. DEPTHWe will cut alot of our 2nd-3rd stringers and basically the entire bottom 1/3rd of the team is gone, cause it sucks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalBrowns Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I for one would keep Greg Little, keep him on the depth chart at #4-5, if he catches the ball, hes a great YAC reciever. Him over Bess for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectralcow Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Typical, I've said this for a long time and in comparison to a number of organizations. The Browns have been AWFUL for years at discovering talent. We all want to point to early draft pick "ringers" or "blue chippers" as the keys to success, but one of the major factors in the success of a lot of teams that sustain success is their ability to find talent that's not a commonly recognized. The Browns are and have been AWFUL at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, considering we're going in with 10 Draft picks as of now (could be more/less) we're looking at changing out nearly 20% of the Team this May from those picks. And this isn't even counting UDFA's or any FA signings we may make. Could be a very different looking Team next year, as it should be by the way some of them played.

TypicalBrowns Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Do you think finding talent consistently requires having the same personnell consistenly finding the right guys to build a team?Problem is we dont even have continuity in the front office, cant build a castle fit for a king when the builders keep tearing down the base of it every other year.

Spectralcow Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I don't necessarily think continuity creates success. A party (FO/coach/player) could be continuously shitty at their job. Beneficial continuity? Sure, I'm all in for that. Who wouldn't be? But this idea of "letting shitty ride" simply so things don't have to change doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

JAFBF Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Last years Draft was based on the Scouts Heckert had in place. This year we'll be going with Banner's and Lombardi's Scouts, so not really sure what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBC mike Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Sanfords signing was head scratcher at this point. The FO at the time had an inclinking of getting rid of Chud at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
