TexasAg1969 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (Another one bites the dust) Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 3m3 minutes ago The #Lions are getting WR Marvin Jones, source said, for what is expected to be about $8M per year (as @diannaESPN said). 192 retweets115 likes Yep, letting Benjamin go is working out just peachy keen. Now how can we fuck up our OL? I want to be impressed by this FO before the day is out. Not starting out so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 $8mm puts him atop the WR2's and on the heels of the #1's... makes sense... On to Sanu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waka! Waka! Waka! LOL! If you start out your draft by losing 3-4 of your better players in FA, I'd say they need to ask the NFL for back to back double slots for each round if they want to build a team that way. At least JM found a unique way to get away from this train wreck. Browns now have a new theme song if the day continues like this. Billy Joe and friends.

darren15 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Building through the draft has really worked in recent years hasn't it ....I mean Weeden, Gilbert and Manziel are shining lights that prove the draft makes a decent football team. We have nearly $50m in cap space for fucks sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have nearly $50m in cap space for fucks sake If I put Corky in charge of making the picks, it really doesn't matter how many picks they had. Having qualified, smart people make the picks can build a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waka! Waka! This is exactly what I heard on NFL HQ this morning about our FO. They are not keen on the draft and would rather get players from the draft. Despite what we heard from Hue. But I would've liked to have kept Benjamin, that does have me worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 The Lions were desperate after losing their big wr... the Browns don't need to get into a bidding war over one player. Jones wasn't all THAT. Be patient...let's see how it all works out. Stupid Farmer. Stupid Dwayne Bowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 We always do this, a dude plays his ass off for us and we don't reward him. The one thing Cleveland could say is that we're loyal to our players that "play like a Brown". But we're not. So why again do kids want to come here and play out of college? They don't. All we get are high priced guys no one else wants to pay. Same old same old. Nothing changes. Good luck Goff or Wentz or whatever new scrub we bring in so we can cheer when he gets injured in a year or two. If either of those two guys would have to play next year they can't throw it. Ever. Just hand it off 40 times a game and just get us to the 2017 draft. Which is our SB> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudfly Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I would just point out that its a double edged sword....are we assuming the Browns arent trying?.....you know, these players have a lot of say in the matter and, even if we make very valid offers, they could still choose to go elsewhere..... Its not Sashis fault we have a shitty team and shitty weather....so, without any "real" info, lets not assume they arent even trying... The other option is to make some more Dwayne Bowe deals and WAY over pay for shit.....would that be better??? Loyalty?.....HA!.....most of todays players go for the $$$ and wins.....its a business, not a love fest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Add Mike Silver to those who say about the Harvard guys "not so sure they are NFL street smart"- 2 minutes ago on NFL Network Casserly pretty much says they missed the boat on not realizing that FA the first couple of years is important in building a team. The whole crew is down on how this is working out for "baseball guys". Edit: I hate to say it but they pretty much ended it by laughing about the Browns FO along the lines of a Bob Marley song.

Clevfan4life Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Oh, baloney. They rewarded Joe Thomas, didn't they? way too negative nelly. and who else? Look I like JT but he's not playning a flashy position. A LT no matter how good he is isn't going to sell a lot of jerseys. We need to retain some of these players like Cribbs even if they fall off slightly cause it shows other players that the Browns don't toss you the minute you lose 1/100000th off your 40. If a player falls off too much that's one thing, but we need to keep some players for the sake of continuity and teaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
