The Gipper Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 WTF? Why? It is not like they are loaded with Pro Bowl WRs. And this guy worked well in the slot. Did he make too much money? Not that that should be an issue with the Browns. Or does this FO just want to open spots so that "their guys"...guys they drafted could be put into where Hawkins was placed. I also thought he was a favorite of Hue's since he had him in Cincy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But- they must think they don't need veteran presence in the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 The writing was on the wall, they drafted his replacement last year. Totally expendable. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 The writing was on the wall, they drafted his replacement last year. Totally expendable. Zombo Did they? Who? Neither Coleman nor Pryor can be considered his replacement. Louis or Higgins? Neither of them caught a TD...and combined they produced about half the number of catches and yards as Hawkins. Yes....I suspect you are right...they drafted his replacement...in the fact that they are bodies that will play WR. And they are "my guys" says Sachi. But that does not mean those guys are as good. At least not by what they did in their rookie season. But they will replace him...for good or for bad. On the other hand...HEY...maybe this is a precursor to them bringing Josh Gordon back into the fold! PoG would argue such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Outstanding guy - I think the beating he took was taking a toll on him. And yes, I look for Higgins to step up bigtime, and Coleman is ready to rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guess what ... we might even get better! Zombo He has a lot to prove. He only caught all of 6 passes last year. But perhaps he will get his chance to shine.. I am not anticipating the Browns really taking a WR to speak of in this draft. FAs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Buffalo Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 1: Great guy, amazing for whatever community he lives in. He will eventually do well in a FO or coaching position. 2: Should have been cut during training camp last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Problem with this is i don't see a capable slot man on roster that can perform at Hawks level. Switzer from UNC is a name that came to mind for the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switzer from UNC is a name that came to mind for the draft. Well, the depth chart had Pryor and Coleman as the starting WRs....and had Hawkins and Louis as the backups. Of course...what pct. of plays do the Browns (and every other NFL team) use 3 Wideouts. Like half or more? So the #3 guy is really basically a starter in that "slot" role. Higgins would be the one to step up.

Mudfly Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Ima bite my tongue on the whole Gabe / Hawkins thing...except to say that this is additional proof of poor planning and more signs of a rudderless ship when it comes to foresight and knowing where you're going with this roster...

The release of Hawkins may portend the fact that the Browns still may be in the WR market in the draft. We didn't think so after taking 4 of them last year....but now I see it highly possible that they go WR, perhaps in the first 4 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news.....Corey Coleman should be the slot guy......(which makes me point to the above comment....again) Interesting. Do you think his skills are more that way than like #1 or 2 wideout? Does this possibly portend the pickup of a "non-slot" type WR in FA? People mentioned Jeffrey. That could be the type...but I am not so sure he would be the man. If not he...who?

I don't think for a moment that Williams would last til 12. There would be a lot of griping if they take a WR at 12....given they took a WR in round 1 last year...and given the other desperate needs on this team.

Tour2ma Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 One of these days we'll actually trade players after their peak season rather than watch as they struggle in vain to replicate them. Good luck, Hawk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
