Say safety or CB? He’s a helluva good athlete. An incredibly huge reach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a bad guy to have on the end of your 53 man roster with his versatility on the offensive side of the ball. He can be your backup slot receiver, your punt/kick returner, your emergency qb, and an emergency 3rd down receiving back. Right now he is a very poor mans antawn Randle el. Although he may turn into that type of player if he can stay healthy and on a roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 He is more brittle than RG3.. He isn't a QB any more because his shoulder is not stable enough for the throwing motion -- his final attempt at playing QB at OSU ended when he threw a pass and his shoulder went out of socket. Electric in the open field but not competitive enough at ST to fill the role of a #5,6 WR.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good and versatile as he was in college it shows you how hard it is to make a roster spot in the brutal NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could of kept him for cheap and he had a grudge against the Ratbirds. A Real head scratcher if we let a guy like him go and keep Willies or Strong?

My memory is that we were trying to resign him, but then traded for OBJ, which prompted him to not sign here and, instead, look elsewhere(where he'd get a chance to start and probably a better contract)....

He and the team had agreed in principle to the terms of a contract. He hadn't signed anything yet because I don't think technically players could sign contracts yet. Then the Browns trade for OBJ and Perriman asked if it was too late to back out. Some quotes from an article regarding both parties agreeing to back out of a verbal statement. "Browns general manager John Dorsey and Perriman's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have both agreed to void a verbal agreement between Cleveland and Perriman for a one-year, $4 million deal." "Earlier in the evening, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com relayed that Perriman wanted out of his one-year, $4 million deal with the team because of its trade for Beckham. Perriman had agreed to a new contract with Cleveland "just hours before" Dorsey turned his attention toward finalizing the blockbuster trade." "It seems to be in the best interest of both parties. While just $4 million, they could use that money to bolster Beckham's deal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns didn't technically release him. He had agreed in principle to a deal and was set to sign on March 13th, but OBJ trade was completed about 4 hours after the deal was agreed to. Rosenhaus requested that his client be able to back out of the verbal agreement and Dorsey agreed (eventually). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
