stillmotion Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 via Rotoworld Browns released CB Jason McCourty. It's a surprising move as McCourty was easily the team's best defensive back last season and was due a reasonable $3 million in 2018. McCourty did fade as the year went on, however, and the Browns have made a concerted effort to bolster their secondary this offseason by adding Damarious Randall, T.J. Carrie and Terrance Mitchell. The 30-year-old should attract plenty of interest on the open market. Perhaps he'll be an option for the Patriots, who lost Malcolm Butler in free agency. McCourty's twin, Devin, is New England's starting free safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We move up just 14 spots near the end of the draft....and they get what was our best CB? WTF? If that is a "football guy" move.... explain how so? If we got their 6th round pick....with no swap of picks...I could possibly see that. If this were in the first, 2d,3rd round...maybe. But this seems like extraordinarily weak compensation. (but sure...better than an out right release). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about all that but regarding THIS move, it's puzzling. Basically they just released a productive guy who didn't break the bank.

I hope Dorsey has had a long talk with Hue about bad mouthing guys he's coaching, or the bus will be running him over next- if he doesn't produce a fair amount of wins this year.

It seems like Hue rubbed people the wrong way. He has his favorites, but Crow obviously hated him, Shelton and him might've not seen eye-to-eye, and McCourty wasn't keen on him.

Unsympathetic Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I haven't watched analyses of his individual play - PFF only rated him above average, 27th for CB's. Yes he had a couple good games but he also had more than that number of terrible days at the office -- gave up 7/94/1 to Keenan Allen for example, and didn't get a single tackle or PB against the Bengals while earning a 35.1 rating. BBC was more consistent with his 24th rating.. Taylor is not bad for a 4th CB next season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
