domcucch1994 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 How is Pryor an "up and coming WR" when they're the same age?? Britt has more than one season of production under his belt and if Pryor is really trying to get $10+ million per year, then Britt is a much better signing. Actually Pryor is 27, Britt is 28 Pryor in his first season as a WR is already better than Kenny "Brittle". Britt has been mediocre at best. His only 1000 yard season was last year! Pryor had just as good as a year as Britt has had.. This is a head scratcher.. I would rather spend the extra 3-4 mil a year for a guy who is a year younger, and has more upside than this sup-par player we just got.. This is Ward/Whitner all over again!

cambridgeho Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Don't hate the singing, but this is a we can't lose out on both move. Britt has talent, but far from a true number 1. The same goes for Pryor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one year younger doesn't mean shit. They're essentially the same age. Pryor may have more upside, but he has a whole ton of downside as well. He has one year as a WR and might regress and you want to give him $12 million a year and pay him like one of hte best receivers in football, that's just crazy. Take off the OSU glasses. He over estimated his worth and the team moved on and paid someone else with similiar production the money that he turned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Coleman is still the plan to be our number one, I am far from giving up on him. Flashed at times and had to deal with an injury and musical chairs at QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Surprises me every time when a Coordinator changes teams and brings a player from the opposite squad with him. Kenny Britt..... for 17mil? Really?!? Guaranteed money? Over 4-years? Not seeing the issue with that figure... and it might not all be "really guaranteed". Package average is $8mm/yr. Pretty solid for a #2 on the outside. Ding Ding Ding... for 6 of his 8 seasons with the other two lost due to injury. Pryor - 77 catches, 1004 yards, 4TDs (with a carousel of mediocrity throwing the ball) Britt - 68 catches, 1002 yards, 5TDs (with a carousel of mediocrity throwing the ball) Roughly the same age, height, weight, etc. One year older... seven more years experience at the position. But it's not certain to be an either/or situation just yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took Britt 8 fucking years to amass 1000 yards and we just pissed 8mil a year on him.. TP is more than likely going to be gone now.. Can't wait until he falls back to Earth next year and puts up 700 yards of mediocrity and dropped passes... At least we signed JC Tretter. Way better than that fuckstick Erving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I like Britt, but signing him so early in FA makes me all warm and fuzzy about the 17 WRs taken in last year's draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Wonder if this gives them leverage on TP. They're still in negotiations and this levels the "You need me" card, with a "I've already implemented a contingency" card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 OSU homers are quite amusing. Thinking 8 figures on a WR convert with 1 OK year is good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 WTF, buying scraps again. IF this is with Pryor is meh ok. If it's instead of Pryor someone needs fired today. 1) We have to demonstrate willingness to pay players to keep them 2) 1000 yards 5 TD's is Britts career best , it's Pryors floor in first year a a receiver. I expected better I really did. Britt is basically the same age as Pryor....so as far as it being someone's floor or ceiling....they both stand about in equal status as far as I am concerned. I don't think Pryor's ability to learn the position is any better or worse than Britt's. But...if they can have both...sure...why not? (if that were the case...the guy that loses out possibly: Josh Gordon on his comeback attempt. Though I may still keep him too if I were the Browns. WTF. Better than like Rannell Hall or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 What a Browns thing to do.. Let's get rid of an up-and-coming WR in Pryor for an underwhelming vet in Britt.. It's like TJ Ward and Donte Whitner all over again! > Big age difference there though....not so with Pryor/Britt. 9 month age difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....I am just going by their ages...and noted they really were not at all far apart. And I don't know if it is OSU homerism. I just think people saw a bit of a ray of light in TP.

It would mean that in the draft the Browns would be not be after WR/OL...and probably not RBs unless very late. (and remember...Crowell was UDFA). They would be defense heavy...and get a QB...and maybe a TE. I could see them using their 11 picks...2 on offense....9 on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other football experts are calling it a great signing. The guy had 1000 yards receiving on a shit team. Just like Pryor last year. Pryor wants 12 million a year...Britt was signed for 8... same age, same production 4 million dollars saved. Doesn't take a harvard nerd to figure out that it's not a terrible signing.

jrb12711 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Dont confuse the OSU homers with facts. Pryor is the next Randy Moss....and Britt sucks.. My problem with Britt compared to TP is that Britt has a laundry list of problems. He's known to be chronically lazy, hurt, and apathetic to playing the position. As Walterfootball hints at, it's not a coincidence he had his best year in a contract year knowing this was his chance at big money. I'm very anxious (with great precedent) that Britt will loaf because he got his "retirement" money and we just signed another Bowe. That's why I'd much rather have TP because I believe he's going to be a lot more hungry and provide similar production. It has nothing to do with OSU ties at all.

Bob806 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 What a weird move ..... the superbowl champs have been more active than the 1-15 team in FA so far ....Gilmore is a huge pick up for them I hear you, but hey, the Browns have to show the rest of the league they have their $hit together. Obviously, the Browns need to sell themselves and rid the stench stigma, it's going to take time. This draft is huge. If they draft well, and coach well, play well, then it may be a popular FA destination. I hope they keep Pryor, but Rosenhaus always asks for the moon. I don't think any of the 32 teams are comfortable with him as an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not, but signing a key young player before they enter a contract year is not a very browns move, and this is a nice departure from that, along with those other signings. Could the Browns have learned from past mistakes not locking up Mack & Schwartz to long term deals when they had the chance? Could this mean we're sticking with R Glass? Stay tuned, I believe we have to pay his roster bonus the end of the week, so the answer will be obvious by then. It would also mean if we keep Griffin, we told New England to pound salt on what they want for Garropolo. PS If they get Zietler, we will have a very studly OL, and the Bengals are in deep doo-doo. Dalton will be watching much of the game flat on his back. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 it's not a terrible signing. Andre Rison was not a terrible signing - until the games started, when it was clear that he just wanted to collect a paycheck and loaf around. Walrus was not a terrible GM selection - until his first day of work, when it was clear that he just wanted to collect a paycheck and loaf around. The same will be true of Britt. Of course it's good if he replicates the same effort as in his FA year.. but he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
