Korsou Dawg Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Jeudy's main problem the past seasons seems to have been personality issues. Overpaying him seems a sensible way of dealing with that... *cough* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the trade, we'll see how it plays out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone else said this; but I'd sure love to see some contract incentives in these guaranteed contracts. A guy can get a soft tissue injury that gets measured by what is your pain/discomfort on a scale of 1-5? If he's a sand-bagger - he'll milk that right out far longer than necessary IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see Syd's link where they restructured Jeudy's contract to free up $10? Not to make you feel any worse, but now they can sign someone like Anthony Schwartz for his 1st Happy Meal in Cleveland... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, who was that one we got about 9 or 10 years ago that pulled that on us and barely ever caught a pass before leaving the Browns and NFL for good? Ever since I turned 77 yesterday my memory is reflective of our unnamed candidates both sides of the ball. 🙃🏳️🌈🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiamat63 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Gone back to watch four full games (so far) of JJ so far in Denver's offense. Actually more pleasantly surprised than what I was expecting. He functions primarily as their Z (off ball) receiver in the Donkey's system. The pre-snap motion man so many offenses design a lot of their chain movers around. There were a couple times I could see frustration setting in, and a couple of those comments from Steve Smith hit home. Other times? I see a capable receiver who does well at his role and, in an offense that wasn't for volume passing, had more than a couple opportunities every game to contribute further if only Wilson could have more reliably found him and delivered. Including a gimmie TD catch and another for YAC that would have likely been 6 points. That's just in the quarter of a season I've seen so far. I'll have more on that later. I see the potential, but I also see the downside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called him Kenny Brat; and some guy said something like "if you don't like him you can follow someone else." I took the greenlight and said something like: I do. I follow the players on this team that are at least trying to be professionals. When it comes down to the reality only 1 of 32 teams is interested in paying you anything close to your asking price - it's not the time to be an "I before team" kind of low-life. I think Belichick signed him shortly after thinking he could CPR a football heart in that hollow inner chest. No luck there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one downside is the amount of money he got....while we have Cooper, who was one of the cornerstone pillars that our '23 playoff run team stood upon. But, it's what FA is. Mostly, the better FA players will cost you $ to entice to come to your team. Especially if the team is Cleveland...a place with $hitty winter weather (for you and your family) and you're going to have to play outside in it. That said, it's good that Berry is showing his concern for the WR position. It's just so very important to have a good passing attack in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Yeah, Britt & Bowe.....another guy that could be shoe-horned into that category would be Andre Rison, from before Modell made off with our team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll maintain, the money doesn't concern me as much as the draft capital given up. So long as we aren't completely mortgaging the future, the dollars and sense don't worry me that much.
