Zombo Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Two year deal ... that's smart, especially for a running back .. all of Farmers deals are essentially two years and out the door! You want an extention, you earn it ... Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Good to hear. Hopefully he wasn't too expensive Two-year incentive laden deal. Farmer seems to be giving everybody two seasons to prove themselves, I believe we are working on some sort of Master Plan for a change.

Canton Mike Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Farmer/Pettine continue to impress me. I like the signing of Tate. What's comical (and somewhat scary) is that were Banner/Lombardi still here, I don't believe we would have had a chance at ANY FA success, so a good job by Jimmy H as well in sending the poison elsewhere.

Zombo Yeah, I may wrong, but it's looking like Farmer is going to be really good for us. I think this FA period is even putting a bit of shine back on Haslam as an Owner - seems to be learning and fixing his mistakes. Hope we're in for some good times.

beare Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I think 7 mill for 2 years very good deal for browns and from what im read im takeing the 7 mill includes incentives in the contract. If he stays healthy i think he will produce for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 A few quick notes from the Conference : Nate Ulrich @NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns Ben Tate on being No. 1 RB: "Something that I've been waiting for for a long time. I'm ready to grab this opportunity & run w/ it" Nate Ulrich @NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns RB Ben Tate said he had more visits lined up he was going to take after CLE, but signed deal today b/c he thought best opportunity Nate Ulrich @NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns RB Ben Tate said his decision wasn't about the scheme, it's about connection he formed with coaches, believes in Mike Pettine. Nate Ulrich @NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns RB Ben Tate: I run hard. I feel like I'm explosive. I feel like if it's 3&1 & I need to go toe-to-toe w/ a LB, I can do that, too. Nate Ulrich @NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns RB Ben Tate: I feel like now that I'm being given this opportunity, I do feel like I'm going to be top-10, top-8, top-5 RB. Hope he stays healthy.

RoyceRolls Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 a 25 year old RB with relatively fresh legs signed for half the price of Trent Richardson's signing bonus alone? I'm on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarker Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 If Pettine keeps this up I'll start callin' him Hannibal. His plan seems to be coming together. Fill the holes with passionate impact FA Big Dogs then draft the puppies and train 'em. If this keeps up the Browns will be one of the most fun teams to watch play this season and seasons to come.

JAFBF Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Quick write up from Carucci (Ben Tate on joining the Cleveland Browns: 'I really wanted to be here') : http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/article-1/Ben-Tate-on-joining-the-Cleveland-Browns-I-really-wanted-to-be-here/2ae29419-08db-4761-83bb-78cea61c1261 “In the grand scheme of things, I really wanted to be here,” Tate said. “At the end of the day, I thought this was going to be the best opportunity for me. I felt the pieces that were already here, offensive-line wise, and their plans in free agency and the draft, so I felt it was just going to be the best opportunity for me to help turn this thing around and take it to another level.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Yeah, I saw a post about the Facebook thing and came here to post something for those that do FB (not me) : Ben Tate2 hours ago Got 2 things for yall Browns fans..... 1. Gonna pick 44 of yall to give away autographs to 2. Gonna pick 11 of yall to play (lose) vs me in my inaugural fantasy football league. And yea I realize the seasons still like 6 months away but I'm ready for it to start now Stay tuned for details on how I'm gonna pick the winners...

bbedward Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 He said in the interview he had other offers and some for more money but he wanted to come here so I dig him. Seems like farmer and pettine are a more appealing duo for these free agents than in times past. I like Tate a lot more than gerhart too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
